hi,
I'm a first timer on PG... just registered a couple of hours back for that matter.. sum1 at classes asked me to check up on PG bout the mica status cos the posts seem more reliable than all the peons picking up the phone at MICA..why peons.. cos i must hv made atleast 20 std calls from booths and my cellphone.. but have never been connected to KGK.. never.. and the person in charge.. there seems to be nobody specific .. is never at the desk..( a staff was kind enuff to part with a couple of cellphone nos tho)
I've read most of the posted messages on this thread.. and i feel like sum of u actually live inside my head.. and were speaking my mind... i too am one of those who didnt apply anywhere but MICA except for the IIMs ofcourse and showed up selected fro a while .. and then was on a waitlist.. and continue to be on one since march.. went from a 99% chance of getting in to a 99% chance of not getting in.. absolute yo-yo....
it seems ridiculous cos my my PI was fantastic.. so much so that when i called up one of the professors now , who was a panelist.. he remembered my name, surname, where i interned and that i carried sum photography for the interview.. .. GD was good too.. just can't figure what went wrong or what i could do better the next time... i've just left evrythg to fate now.. if things have to happen they will.. if this doesn't work out.. mayb god has better plans in store for me.. for the meanwhile atleast i have the satisfaction of working and learning in film production, which is something i was interested in.. and which i probably will continue with till i get into MICA... next year.
Congratulations to all those who got in... Karishma.. i think i remember you.. i'm not that sure tho.. cos i remember a girl in a blue three-quarter sleeved .. blouse.. seated on the steps at JB.. waiting for her turn while we were too.. i finished my interview at 3:30 i thk.. my frds finished ard 4.. u were sanika's classmate i suppose.. worked at an ad agency.. and studied the same course that i did..but then again mayb not.. cos u possibly were enjoying a better conversation than the rest of us who were just bumming ard at that time.. tho i must add.. in the 2 days that i hung ard there i made two really good friends.. one of them got in.. two of us are on the waitlist in the top15.. haven't updated status as yet.. rt now all three of us are 100s of kilometers away from each other but still very much in touch.. possbly the only silver lining..
for those of you as frustrated as i am... something to lift u up..
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion ..always..)
I hope you dance
(..rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who..)
I hope you dance
(..wants to look back on their youth and wonder..)
(..where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
Hi Shirley,
I just happened to read your post... and I am at loss of words, completely. I came to this thread as an observer and have become part of everyone's life here.
I have been associated with MICA - externally and it feels sad the way a lot of you feel about the place. There is nothing I can do about it, but just wish this did not happen. Not just to you, but also to anyone else.
May be, there is something better in store for you. And I really hope that comes through. Biting the dust is not for you. Reach out for the stars... that's more like you.
Pa-Gal
Hi Shirley...
I do indeed remember you...how can i forget the mica gd and pi day...i met so many people who i doubt i shall forget...i understand what ur feeling..believe me i do...but remember to keep on dreaming...coz thats what we have at the end of the day...make urself another dream...and see it gradually come to life...mica is a route to success...and not success itself...so u havent taken the road that some of us have...take the road less travelled and what matters is the end and not the means...you will get there im sure...how you get there is up to you...
The passion for adbvertising is the element that should fuel you to reach out and get your dreams..let it drive you beyond everything else...
And as for Mica...all i can say is that we will be losing out on someone who would have added some value to our institute...
But Mica is not the end...there is a course in Columbia University on Mass comm....that is one thats recognised all over the world...try for that...make your decisions now and do your best to achieve them...
How you achieve them doesnt matter...what matters is that you reach your ultimate goal...
I hope iv made a difference...even a tiny one...
I guess the friends u were talking about were the twins brandon and sheldon? one of them got through right?
Iv made friends for life at the Mica gd pi...i hope u can also be one of those...
Wishing the best for u...

hellu..
ahoy.. oye.......... hmmmm.. well.. i think i need to clarify sumthg here.. i wasnt depressed or so.. when i sent that message.. just irritated at things... not even upsetish.. more pissed...case of sour grapes?.. ummm.. possible.
i believe everything you go through teaches you something.. if someone were to give me a chance to change anything in my life.. i wouldn't change anything.. am quite content and happy with things.. strongly believe that if things are meant to happen they will.. if this doesn't work out there will be better things in store for me..
i was never the type to think 5 yrs ahead.. had to do it once or twice at classes when i was asked what i wanted to be eventually.. i know more or less where i want to see myself a few years down the line.. just believe in giving whatever i can.. i do admit that it is not always that i put my best foot forward.. but i know i did whatever i could at CAT.. altho i knw i could have done better.. i know its been (present tense cos i know things are very possible for me rt now with MICA) a really good if not my best attempt at MICA.. and thats about it..
i know that whatever i do .. i will do well in my life.. i am thankful for what god has given me.. given me more than i could hv asked for.. am above ok at painting/ photography/ sports/ singing.. and have an above ok brain.. what more can one ask for.. what i make of my life is now up2 me..
having said that.. why then did i seem grumpy.. cos i don't know what exactly i could have done.. or should do in future.. that is good enough to get a final call letter.. right now what i know .. is that i have to wait.. i hope this patience ka phal is meetha...
what i learnt from my experience with MICA?.... to find happiness in every small thing.. not that i didnt earlier.. but now.. every time i'm told my name's been going up the list.. i'm all excited and happy.. By the way.. i too was 12th on the waitlist.. thats what the letter that came to my house says..
Karishma, as for my 2 friends ...kanishk is already in.. sheldon is on the waitlist.. and he is moving up too.. i suppose you know the twins from before the GD/PI.. cos one of them chose a better alternative.. and gave the mba thing a miss..didn't come at all to JB.
When i was told the results were available online, i fervently prayed that if it was meant to be .. let it happen.. cos i am very happy at my workplace.. i work for a film production house that was ranked among the top 10 by BE recently.. we do fabulous work.. i work as a 2nd Asst. Director.. i get to learn a lot.. and if MICA doesn't wrk out.. i do have backup plans for further studies.. tho after a few years..
thats about it from my end.. i hope this appears like a ray of light behind my seemingly dark cloud.. cos.. No.. i'm not that upset.. and Yes... life is sorted out.. a bit.
Well Well Well!!!
I would be lying if I say, the MICA GD/PI weren't the best from my stables, but it was just one of those in which everybody comes out laughing, thinking I am IN! I am IN!.
Just one feeling though, MICA better watch out, I am coming again next year, and this time I am gonna be in the rejection mode...:2gunfire:
Cheers,
Nikhil
guys and gals,

Till that time just Remember that there used to be a RAINMAKER on this post,Coz if i do make that trip then i will be reffering to it alot.
the song is ' I hope you dance'.. i know of it as Leanne Womack's song.. there is also a Faith Hill version.. and a recent Ronan Keating version.

Hey Guys,
I did not get through the GD/PI stage for PGPCM; I got a mail some 20-25 days back, regarding admissions for the 1-Yr courses.
Can somebody enlighten, how credible are they, and what sort of profile can a person look forward after the course...?
And are the application dates still open, cos I got the mail long time back...?
Any more info regarding the courses, or any other opening in MICA, would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Nikhil

Well the one year courses are quite good...but also very specialised...so u shud take them only if uv realy made up ur mind for the said field....The job profile that u can look forward to after the completion of a course is based on which course u choose...for example Broadcast managemnt will get u a job in any channel...if ur journalistically inclined then u shud take a news channel...or entertainment channels...or sports channels...the list is endless....u could even opt for radio...with the Pr and event management course well the profile is pretty obvious...pr and event management companies...the retail course is also good as retail is booming right now...health management is also projected as the in thing what with all the hospitals turning management savvy...therefore all these courses have a future so to speak....about application dates visit the mica website: www.mica-india.net that will solve all ur queries....
Hope i helped a little Nikhil...
Shirley...was just trying to help...looks like u dont need it.

pa-gal.

NIKHIL,
you are really late now as most of the entrances for these courses were completed in this or the last week.But you can try your luck.Just call on 02717237482 and say you want to speak to murali or mr. UT rao .Ask them and they will aolve ur problem.Or else mail to any one of them
[email protected],[email protected],
Actually its so late that they are going to announce results now and the fees has to be deposited by 15th of june.So i think better act fast.You have the best chance in DCM or any one except PREM and broadcasting
