Ganesh we cleared this on PG and now this statement again ? If I've taken GMAT in Sept this year. Am I eligible ?

hi..

I am an MBA class of 2013 aspirant...

I have been given to believe that GLIM is best suited for applicants with a 2-5 yr work experience.. Would you recommend this programme to a sales professional with close to 10 years experience earning a 7 digit salary and looking for a sales and marketing career post MBA..

Thanking You

You are right. Great Lakes is definitely best suited for those with 2-6 years of work experience. Having said that we do have students with more than 7 years of work experience studying here. My recommendation would depend upon your purpose for doing your MBA. If you are looking for learning, then you got the best professors teaching here and the value you get is immense. Another aspect of a MBA is peer learning, since you have a huge amount of experience, the peer learning may be limited.

If you need a one year program in Chennai with world class facilities and known for its marketing programs, then Great Lakes is one of the best option for you.

Hey

Although your work and extra curriculars are pretty good, your GMAT score is extremely low. If you are able to retake the GMAT and get a good score then you have a good chance of getting shortlisted.

I cannot say there is no chance but a better score would be better is what i meant. There is no cut off, Great Lakes will consider your entire profile.

Your XAT score is very low and it would be tough to get a call. But if you have a good work experience, good ECs and a strong profile then you might stand a chance.

I have a CAT 2010 score of 93.15 , and have a five year experience in an IT Firm.
I have less percentage in 12th ie 67.40.

Am I Eligible to get a call from GLIM

Yes you are eligible! Your essays and recos also play a major role so please concentrate on that as well!
