Vishal,

This thread is for discussion for the class of 2011 (to passout) and I suspect you are more interested for later.

Please post this question at http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/international-indian-mba-schools-accepting/52205-great-lakes-institute-management-class-2.html and it shall be answered.

Cheers,
Indraneel

Surprising, but nice to see that admissions are still on despite the start of the session.

Is it serious, can any one from the gladiators still confirm how many seats are still vacant in their batch and what is the step which GL management wants to take in this issue...??

One more, has the classes started or being postponed till the class will be full...

Thanks to all....jus evaluating the options here...

Hello Suresh,

Right now the academic sessions have not started for the present batch in Great Lakes. There have been many ice breaking sessions as well as soft skill, mental endurance, physical fitness sessions going on.

Saturday and Sunday would be days when the dean, director and executive director would hold classes to tell students about the need for an MBA, discuss about right approaches and set the context for the year to come and also share their thoughts on curriculum, placements etc.

Regular academic classes would begin from Monday.

Surprising, but nice to see that admissions are still on despite the start of the session.

Hi,

The time for registration has been stated as 12:30 on 26 April.Does anyone of you have an idea that if we reach there on 25, then the accomodation will be available or not.

Hi

First of all Congrats on your convert!!

The institute will provide you the accomodation only after your registration is over.

All those who have converted the call recently, pls join the google groups and get connected. http://groups.google.com/group/greatlakes2010-11.

After fighting for an admit for almost 6months, it means now this is an end for me from Great Lakes, this season?

Is there still any hope left?

Atleast, please provide me the feedback so that I know what I am expected to work upon.

I think, I deserve atleast this much guidance esp when I have given my best efforts.

Now when everything has come to an end, it gives a lot of pain to recall each and every moment spent in the hope of getting an admit to Great lakes. The endless hours, never ending discussions, attempting CAT and then Great, giving importance to each n every minute detail of the application, preparing for GD-PI, logging on the website n times to attain every possible detail about the institute; only God knows what he kept for me in return of this half year struggle?

But before I leave with a heavy heart, I give my best wishes to Gladiators.

Hope you come out with your best and all your aspirations n dreams come true in coming one year.

Mohit Gupta

i say there is still hope as the previous date for withdrawing app. was 28th. if you dont hve any option better wait till april last then move ahead. personal opinion

If any of the waitlisted/rejected guys are interested in MBA(Infra), here's a college in Ahmdbd by ADANI GROUP that has Dr. Bakul Dholakia of IIM A as its director....

Faculty, Board, intake(30 students) etc seems pretty alluring... Don't knw much about this college since first batch will be passing out in SEPT... But anywyz....just wanted to share this info!!

Unfortunately, this means that there shall be no more waitlist movement

Just got a call from GL. Converted my Waitlist today after a looong wait.
I am given time till 10 am tomorrow to accept it.
Though i was longing to be a Gladiator, I will not be able to accept it.

Reasons:
1. Too Short notice.
2. Awaiting IIMs results.
3. Converted IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee today (which might serve as backups)

Waitlisted Puys,
Its not over yet. Be hopeful.

All the best all Gladiators.

phoenix_rishi Says

dude....dont worry about 30 days....GL is freezing the admission today midnight as per the mail from Prof Swaminathan...so sad day for u mate, no more wait list movement...thats all mate,the time to pull the curtain on the Great lakes episode for this season..anyone withdrawing after that will forfeit all...

With only about 4 hrs. left for the midnight, can it be taken that GL has finally rejected all the other waitlistees and finalised the admission process. Who will be able to confirm it authoritatively?
Whatever it is, all the best to the Gladiators and wish that your dream of getting a better brand image to Great Lakes succeeds!

The waitlist at GL is moving.Many people have started rejecting the offers.After IIT results and many more pending, there will be a huge movement. This shows the lack of belief that people have in GL. Even at the stake of admission money(not refundable), they are rejecting the offers.

Lets see what happens in coming 30 days.

Having passed through all the emotions of being happy, sad, angry, impatient at different stages in the last 2 months at the prospect of being in the league of the gladiators...I feel its time now to call it a day and move ahead in life..!!

Hearty congratulations to all those who made, especially from the WL list...!! I know wht it means to be on a WL, to be on the tenterhooks all the time.

Cheers guys,

Suresh

Suresh,
Dont know what to say coz ... nothing I say will help you in reality.

Over the last few months, I have almost seen the emotions each one of us were going through while responding in this forum.

But I hope you keep chasing your dreams. Dreams much bigger than GL. Thats what life is about. What matters more than the destination could be the journey.

All the best.

You must be happy now ?? Ain't you ? Be our guest if maligning a good institute unnecessarily, gives u some amount of sadistic pleasure !

PS : you need some serious help !!!

There is no apparent stake, Great Lakes has categorically stated that the refund will depend on the policy of the institute at that time if the student wishes to withdraw his/her seat on/after the 25th.

This is a perfectly acceptable statement. Historically Great Lakes has always returned the amount other than the initial 50k.

Moreover I would question the IQ of the person who would like to withdraw the offer even if he knows that his 11 lakhs might not be refunded. This means that the person never wanted to study in Great Lakes then why bother to pay?? One should only study in the school they are convinced of because its an important decision in life.

The current batch of Gladiators is completely convinced of its abilities and we all are sure that we shall take all steps to take Great Lakes many more steps closer to be one of the best B schools of the Asia-Pacific region. Many clubs at Great Lakes have already sprung into action to ensure that we are branding the school in all the required areas, Great Lakes has now set sail and everybody would surely witness its growth in the days to come.
