Good Luck!

At Great Lakes, there is no fixed cutoffs and any minimum scores are decided on after the completion of the application process and review of the overall applicant pool. Since the applicant pool varies in number and quality every year, the cutoffs may vary as well.

Evaluation of candidates is done in a holistic manner and not just rely on aptitude score. Applicants are evaluated based on GMAT/CAT/XAT/CMAT scores, past academic performance, essays, work experience (if any) and performance in the interview. The selection process builds on a criterion that facilitates evaluating each applicant on Academic Abilities, Standardized Test Scores, Leadership and Interpersonal Skills, Integrity & Ethical Values and Diversity of Background.

So while the test scores are important, we emphasize more on selecting well-rounded candidates with a strong overall track record.

Still, 90+ percentile with a good profile seems to be a good score for getting admission.

All the best!!
