One letter would do?

Hi everyone,
Just a small query.
I plan to apply to Great Lakes next year
I have a work experience of 8 years in IT consulting and a GMAT score of 620 , with excellent international work experience of 2yrs in areas of enterprise applications and consultingand presales at Wipro Technologies India and Oracle Corporation.
What are my chances with such a score and work experience ?
Is my GMAT score less for GLIM , Do you suggest I take the GMAT again ?..

Are there instances of people with a GMAT of 620 - 630 getting admission in Great Lakes ?


Pls advise.
Regards

GLakers, I have a query about the following instruction in recommendation letter:
"Place the completed form in the envelope provided by the candidate. Paste the flap
of the envelope, place your signature / stamp your official seal across the flap of the envelope."
A signature across the flap of the envelope from my recommender will suffice right?
~Rohan

Hi,

Signature across the envelope would suffice.
If he could get an official seal, ask him to stamp it across the flap if possible.

Pls post ur admission queries @ http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/cat-an...tml#post896353 (Great Lakes Admissions 200

Hi all

I am a prospective student for Great Lakes. I have an exp of 3 years and a GMAT score of 660. can anybody give me any inputs on my chances and the cut off GMAT scores.

Hi ,

Thanks muthuraman for answering the query.

Ur profile looks good.
As said we look for overall profile.
Please post ur queries reg admissions in http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/cat-and-related-discussion/23738-great-lakes-admissions-2008-a-43.html#post896353 thread as that is our official admissions query thread.


Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
GLaker

Hi Shwetha,

From my interactions with glakes students I think you would definitely fall into the range of GMAT scores which got accepted. Further its very difficult to predict anybody's chance based on only exp. & GMAT score as nowadays colleges have become more choosy and they look at a profile as a whole which includes wht u have done in at work, ur essays, reccos n everything else ...

Hi debayanm,

I were you I wouldn't have put a recco letter in a public forum. Anyways, your professor might have asked you to write a recco but I would suggest that you give him points so that he can build a framework and not give the entire recco on your own. As admissions committee pple are experts in this and would easily find out if you had written the recco or it was written by your recommender only ..

further no weaknesses .. something very rare:wow:
Thanks,

In its third year of operation, Great Lakes finds mention amongst the top B Schools in terms of Placements Survey conducted by Business Today - Cool Avenues for the year 2007. As per the rankings Great Lakes ranks 16th in terms of average salary with SJSOM IIT Mumbai and IMT Ghaziabad, just marginally above Great Lakes. This indeed is an achievement and i am sure Great Lakes would improve on this parameter year on year!
