Mica Results Finally Out

hey vipin

dunno how it is possible that you were selected yesterday and are waitlisted now.....that is seriously a blunder on their parts.i think you should speak to mr kgk pillai.


Exactly. But is there any point in sheep passing resolutions of peace while the wolf remains of a different opinion? which of us mice will bell the cat?
If anybody still has the list of students called for GD/PI/MET with them please pm me..i need it - badly.

Weell guys ....as stunned as I was to hear this ....I have made it to the waitlist and having gone through this string I can almost safely say tht I am in......

I was just wondering if any of the other people from my GD grp made it....My interview was on the 13th of Mar in MICA itself......I was in Panel 4........we had a fish market gd ...which is why I was sure ki I had no chance...th names I remember are.....Sadat,A GD analyst female i think Ritu...,a couple of guys from Delhi,A female who wanted to dance in her PI....I think Bindya,Ashish,one female with OnM experience(I am sure you must have made it too), and then there was me.....we were a motley crew alright!!!!

Frankly speaking having seen the junta in my grp itself I was sure I had no chance cos I had no workex.....an electronics engineer who discussed the budget and the stock market with the panelists.....and a rather short interview with nothing-not a word -about advertising or anything to show my creativity......also dint properly complete my last answer in the MET......I was sure tht theres surely 120 more decent ppl than me amongst the 1200 that they had called...but Iguess strange things happen all the time :shock: ....

havent yet decided whether I am gonna take it up....but like I said it was a pleasnt surprise....

EITHER YOU ARE WILFULLY MISLEADING PGITES OR UR FRIEND HAS MADE A GRAND FOOL OF YOU

hey vipin...i most certainly am not misleading anyone...nor has my friend made a grand fool of me...'coz my dad had also sent someone at the institute and he too told me the same things that i have written in my earlier post...it can't be a coincidence...when u went to MICA...did u care to go to the office and ask them for the list?...maybe the people who inquired for me did...anyways...quite positive that there r 120 seats this year and 60 waitlists...also...for the people who r in...they would start dispatching the offer letters from tuesday...and all this info. has been corroborated by two different people...so unless the MICA people r playing tricks...can't be wrong...all i can say is that this is the info. i have ...MAY B i'm wrong...but it's highly unlikely!!

I am waiting, waiting for that chance
Ready to jump, impatience in my stance
I am waiting for that better tommorow
I hope all this waiting, does not lead to sorrow

I am waiting, to take my first flight
Flexing my wings, to soar out of sight
I am waiting like 59 others
Ship's in readiness, need power in those rudders

At MICA I am, on the waitlist
I spell it out now, if you did'nt get the gist
So once more I hope and ask you to pray
That we stand together at MICA one day....

Hey Disha...great post...i loved the first stanza...just reading u'r post one can make out that u deserve to get in...and i'm sure u will...i think the last line of u'r little poem would most definitely turn out to be true...two years from now we would all be standing at the MICA convocation ceremony for a final group photograph!!...

hey

all this talk of waitlisted ppl standin a good chance at gettin in has lifted my hopes again. this was my second shot at mica, n i'd been to mica for my met/gdpi last year. its an amazing place n m sure two years will fly by like a dream, one which i've had for a while now. aiight i'll cut this mumbo jumbo... hope to see u'll at mica.:)

ciao.

Well what can I say...maybe its a case of different things being told to different ppl!

I am not so big an ass as to make a trip 30 kms west and return without going to the Powers That Be - thats the admission office. They have a confidential list of course - four pages full of names - which they waved at me but didnt let me have a look....but the list is not for public consumption.

The admissions chaps told me that there have not put up any list on their notice board and will be individually mailing all selected and waitlisted candidates. And from their talk, I am NOT AT ALL sure that there are 120 seats this time...though thats what mr kgk pillai told us at a seminar before CAT.

Friends just wondering...

MICA says that CAT scores act as an elimination test for them...ie it doesnt have any weightage in final selections...

BUT IS IT POSSIBLE
that after grading students according to their MET/GD/PI performance, they arrange them in descending order of their CAT scores? that alone would explain why many students opt for other colleges and waitlisted ppl get in...

Bear in mind is that the operative word is AFTER merit ranking met/gd/pi performance...otherwise there are 98%ile+ ppl who would get through...

Hi guys...
Another day has gone by...and my my quivering spirit refuses to calm down...when will the promised letter arrive and when shall i truly know that i have made it??????????? thinking about all the stuff that i shall do when i get to mica is driving me crazy...anyway a little about my skill set includes portrait sketching, singing (good at western vocals), poetry writing, love to listen to soft music like enya, dido, cranberries, and the like...want to learn the guitar, french (since i plan on going to escem if i get in ) and clay pottery too...well this describes me...waiting to hear more about ppl hopeful to get in..

Disha that was quite an amazing piece of poetry........really reflects what we all feel...hope u get in...so we can have more poetry sessions at mica............

Hey vipin i dont think ur theory makes any sense...cause then what would happen to all the gmat candidates who have earned the requisite 600 score? I am one of those candidates and strongly believe that the cat or the gmat scores do not play any role in the final selection. Another case in point for this is that one of my friends has gotten selected and her cat percentile is 84!

Kari

Hi...

Sorry for messaging continously but HRH u wanted the list of final met candidates...here it is...finally figured out the attachment thingy...sorry mods for so many posts one after the other...but just responding to HRH's request....

The admissions committee definitely resorts to some form of ranking in order to shortlist students. This is based neither on CAT scores or the MET/GD/PI alone. Every one of those is given due weightage in arriving at a composite score.

The average CAT percentile of the Class of 2006 is around 95. CAT scores HAVE mattered.But yes, the weightage given to it in the admission process this year might have differed.

The GMAT entry route is one created only this year. There were 26 applicants for 7--10 seats.

People who have scored low in the CAT but made it through would definitely have had a rocking MET/GD/PI. Moreover, work-ex influenced selection this time around.

On the whole, you will find that your batchmates have decent , if not impressive, track records.

See you at Shela.

thanx a lot kari for the file.I was looking for it.
What seems very odd is that when MICA was smart enough to post a list of 1200+ students on its website......how it came to be hesitant in putting out the names of 180 odd people????SOMETHING IS FISHY

Ummn i was led to believe that there are no reserved seats for candidature through gmat........thats what the admissions authorities in the mumbai met centre told me.....if anything is reserved then thanks a lot for bringing it to my notice.....i hope your last line is taken as a prophesy...and if it does come true...you will definitely get a treat from me at chotta ...what say vinay?????????

About putting up that list...i saw so many requests for it that it made sense to put it up on the forum.........

hiya

after the confusion abt the selection process at MICA just thot would bring into notice the fact that i was told the same thing wen i scored 86 %ile in CAT...that chances are too bleak...but i am selected...and as far as my experience goes, MICA, for one, does go by individual applications rather than general process for selection of its candidates...
and after reading the pg posts i do believe that all the ones waitlisted and really keen on joining will definitely get thru and we will meet at MICA

cheers

Hey!
First, All u ppl who got thru and those who're waitlisted.......... CONGRATS!
Im pretty sure that the list will clear and the ppl who're waitlisted now will know they're in by Monday. Really happy for all u guys. Kari..... Shocked that MICA dint grab at u! But they will! No doubt wtsoever! :smile:
I, on the other hand, did'nt make it. Im still alive tho'. Minor coronary dysfunction...... but not too big a deal! Did'nt even need to go to the ICU! Lol! I guess its now St. Xaviers, Mumbai {TV & film Production} or Jamia {next yr} for me. At least now for a yr i can start working full time in Production.
Really upset abt Bugs and Jormund too! Wts MICA thinking?!!?? Pleezzzzzzz tell me u guys made it to the 2nd list.......! Here's a thought..............! why dont u sue MICA? I'll join u. lol!
Okie.......... me's just losing my head! I'll post again when it finds its way back.
All u guys who are in or waitlisted.......... again.... CONGRATS! U'll all do great!
Have Fun!

m one of the guys whose status went from "waitlisted" to "selected" within a day.. after seeing the anxious posts of lots of people, i think it is true tht the waitlist will b cleared.. i personally know people with more than 4 calls from IIMs who have been selected in MICA (uincluding me), so i see n o reason why we shouldn't keep our hopes high!

more importantly, i wanted to know if any one frm my group made it finally? i had MET/GD/PI on march 13th at MICA. Panel 5. shivani? rahul? anyone? I was the arbit guy who said "it has been an early morning" for the question "How was ur day?"!!! that shud help people to remember me!

cheers,

Thanks for the kind sentiments, Miss Scarlett, but if there's something I can vouch for it's that if I had been on the Selection Com. at MICA (or anyhwhere else for that matter) I wouldn't have selected myself either. I'm hopeful for Bugs though, don't know where he's gone into hiding.

If you do come to Mumbai, give me a shout.

Hey scarlett...

I have no idea what criteria mica looks for...if it was just how badly we wanna get in then i dont think we would have had any problem...Me is hanging in there...its just too long a wait...imagine this is my second attempt for mica...and am still waiting...u know i had told my intrviewers that i had reached the zen of patience as i was the second last person to be interviewed after waiting all day..!!! so i guess they think am the guru of waiting games and thus want to make me wait some more.......but seriously guys (and god)...this is enuf waiting for me......im going nuts........

I hope u do well for yourself scarlett...u have the effervescence that shall take u through life in a breeze (or is it the fizz....)...best of luck in whatever u do......

Jormund and bugs...has the message changed for you guys?????????
