Sorry I will post the message in EPGP 2011

Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and planning on applying for IIM A and IIM B for 2010. Below is my profile

US citizen
12+ Experience in fortune 500 Companies in various roles (mostly on the IT front (Ebay, Fannie Mae, Southwest Airlines, Boeing etc)
B Tech Chemical Engineering - 75%
MS computer Science (Texas A&M;) - 3.75/4.00
Extra Curricular activites - Good.
Finally the bad thing - GMAT 630 ( I feel this is too low after going through so many competitive exams, may be its the age )

I would like to know my chances and I feel this is best route for R2I and desperately want to return to india.

Appreciate any help/suggestions/morale boost

I think Kapil Agarwal is planning on posting the profiles. I am also planning on applying later this year. What is your profile, strongbow?

Folks,
I am looking to see what is the general profile of people who have been selected for the EPGP course this year. Is there some spreadsheet etc available which gives an idea of this. Obviously I can't join the yahoogroup since it's for selected people only. I am planning to apply for the course this year.

Thanks again.

Hi Puneet,

Cheers
Sameer.

Dear A Verma
I had send the mail yesterday with all the details and also provided the details to Kapil.
I received a mail today from Sameer confirming whether I had been offered admission to EPGP.
First of all I am absolutely aware that only the selected guys can opt for this group.
Secondly if required I can scan the offer letter or forward the mail I received from IIMB to the concerned person and finally join the group.

Waiting for a final confirmation to join the group now.

Hi Guys,

I got a call from IIMB offering me admission to EPGP.
The lady told me that 2 guys from R2 didnt join, so they are offering me.
They will send me confirmation mail to morning.
I called up their office and conformed.

Obviously I have said yes and I am joining :)

That also means there must be one more guy who will get similar call.

No mails till now = {MY VIEW} DING.
Why not sent = {MY VIEW} prioritize your tasks and proceed; no good attained by trampling on the foots of already-dejected.

Funda of how does ePGP comm know if all R2 offers would be converts = {MY VIEW} Not all need to join. If they extended overall offer to, say, 75 candidates, even a batch size of 60 is good enough.

Do not intend to hurt; on the contrary it helps if our expectations are grounded.

Thanks Enigma..but then this is WL of R1,no WL for R2 .......but if that's right, then why no ding mails for R2 rejects till now? Any info on same?

My logic says R1 waitlist considered while declaring final admits of R2, and R2 WL are the ones who should get admit mails........But for that I need confirmation from at least any one R1 WL, that he /she got the admit with R2 candidates.If anyone on forum or you know otherwise, please confirm.

Thanks in anticipation!

I have another update from couple of days (a week or two) back:
If you are in a special hurry (for whatever reason, such as some Visa processing / Leave plans etc) and waitlisted, iim-B would be happy to let you know if you have been dinged!
However, if the decision is till pending you'll be given a standard reply (of 'results under process').

Oh yes, this comes from trusted sources from B office.

Logic somehow fails here--> how will adcom know if everyone of r2 will join?

true. but, thats an information - i didn't get a chance to argue with her

iamc Says

Hi WL of R1: Spoke to Ms Komala. The last date for R2 payment was 30/01. So WL applications will be scrutinized again this week and their results will be declared by End of next week. Ding mails will also be sent sometime next week. Hope that helps!

When I called couple of days back, Ms.X said "we considered wl - candidates while finalizing r2 results. So, if you have not got a mail till now, it is a ding".

Godis Gr8 says.....and XLRI above IIMs?I'm hearing for 1st time........
r u serious??
even for two years regular one, XL will come above L / I or K. Look at the official rankings, placements. I know atleast two guys in last three years preferrings XL to IIM K / I. My last org,happens to a Blue chip one, never frequents any B college but IIM A/B/C and XL ( mind u all non-HR). I mean pl have a holistic view. On the lighter side, I dont earn to create brand value for anyone. And for God's sake, dont generalise. Pl do the ranking in light of the programme you are looking for, and thats why IIM B scored not as much as they deserve..apprehensions..Wanna give an example..for Operations, Perdue is GOD..but look where does it stand in the over all ranking...I know my friends from the frst batch of IIMA- one year, who struggeled to get Job..Pl understand that all my remarks are with good intentions and not to heart nyone.
So if you are trying to do an MBA for reasons like money, career shift cling any top Brand IIMs, XL or ISB. If not, and you are doing well in all respect, think again and look for the right programme..the Best Brand not necessarily gives you the right training!! all the best..by the way pl look at the GMP XL programme..its good and very mature

hmm....i c...i was really not aware of this XLRI thing...as i saw at many places (forums) specifying XLRI not that gud,no placements and all, but recently i got some gud updates on it, including urs :)..after the application last date this year...LOL!

Nextly,I was not doubting nay intentions..but still I feel not logical to rate something before actually seeing it....and it's Ok if u wanna rate IIMb 2 yrs PGP programme on the basis of placements,maturity or otherwise.

But thn u r suggesting allIIMs,ISB and XLRI....then wats left?--A serious query it's....

Sorry fr the spelling mistakes...

hmmm.......but when i asked,they said no mail= not offered admission.....infact R2 result came on 13th Jan,so if some people don't accept admission (like got selected anywhere else or don't prefer) till 28th Jan,then after that a few WL candidates may get offers followed by ding mails........Just my opinion though, no such official info or confirmation from anyone.

GodisGr8 Says

Not received any such mail........who said so?Official info orwat?
