Great Lakes is proud to inform you of GL Connect, a platform wherein Management aspirants across the country get a chance to network & associate with the Institute. Going beyond the regular agenda of discussing the School, application norms, addressing FAQs etc., this year the event offers much more.

GL Connect will present live discussions with the Dean, Dr. Bala V Balachandran and eminent speakers such as Shantanu Prakash, Chairman, Educomp Solutions, Amit Agnihotri, Chairman, MBA Universe, Ashish Bharadwaj, Managing Director, GMAC-INDIA, Mr. Mohan Lakhamraju, Stanford Business School Alumnus and Ex-VC/PE Investor etc. Keep checking the Great Lakes website to find out which speaker is there in a given city.

Since inception of the institute, this platform used to be called ‘Meet the Dean’, with only Dr. Bala addressing the MBA aspirant audience. From this year, we have re-christened the same event as ‘GL Connect’ and brought in a wider range of speakers to provide a global management perspective.

Hi Ganesh,
I scored 680(Q42,V41) recently and wanted to know if this score could get me a call from great lakes,considering my quant percentile is in 50s...?
Thanks in advance.

I am not an alumn of great lakes, but yes colleges just look at your total score. Q 42 is low, but i think you directly contact the adcom, they are the best to comment on the issue.
Anyways, i do not see Q42 as a big issue.

Consider kudos if my post helps!!
