@shivs said: Planning to give CAT on Nov 1 or Nov 2... Is it a good idea to give last at the last moment??? Does it make any impact on the score ?? ... Actually need some time for prep.

Does slot choice matters? or its a wrong conception...Can one score more on particular day..

Then there aare 2 questions

1) Does weekday or weekend makes a difference

2) Does choosing the slot at begining, middle or end matter?

Puys please help...

Cat is earlier this time ...i m damm nervous

@mridulagarwal said:Are CAT 2012 dates out...?? I heard rumors ....

@gamez515 said:thanks for the reply guys....I guess past is past ... and need to work hard to move ahead Speaking of which (since i hav some time to spare)Could you throw some light on some skills or points i may add to my resume tat can make it stick out from the selection point of view....

Buddy

This is a big misconception that adding some extra curricular certificats will make our resume stick out from selection point of view. Almost everyone coming for GDPI these days in top B-Schools have similar extra currics on their resume like President of some xyz committee, chairman of xyz fest, player/captain in xyz team of college etc. Till sometime back having worked in NGO added something different to resume but now , everyone has started mentioning it in one form or the other , thus making it common as well.

These things are no more a differentiator these days in top colleges. Having them on a CV is more of a necessity than as USP of your resume. Having said this, what matters is how you justify in your answers the work done/responsibility undertaken in above-mentioned points. For ex: If in NGO, you should be able to tackle questions on its activities atleast in your area and must be aware about ground realities that challenge one while working for underpriviliged/poor/needy etc.

What is going to be your USP from selection point of view is clarity of thoughts and how you put forth your points. These include but are not limited to stuff like Why MBA, Your career goals, what you bring to the table, how you wish to leverage your past exp/grad background during/post MBA, awareness of your weaknesses and drive to overcome them, your strengths and passion to leverage them etc.

Hope this helps!

@visionIIM-ACL said: No Buddy, it is not that only those with 85-90 throughout get into top 10 B-Schools. There are around 3-4 colleges in top 10 that give very high importance to acads and hence slightly difficult to get into them. But the rest remain open to you. So, need not worry and prepare well Buddy, Past is past and cannot be changed. It can affect your future in terms of making it tough to get into few B-Schools but your preparation from now on is going to decide your future and it is something that is in your hand and not in the hands of past. So, do not let your mind bother much about acads or the gap after some time of job focus on preparation to score high so that you can fetch calls from every B-School that doesnt give high importance to graduation and work ex ( for rolling out calls ) as your 10/12 marks are fine and shouldn't be an issue Cheers!

@Sivshanth said: @gamez515 Right now focus on CAT 2012. While there are top colleges which give importance to academics, there are others that don't. Since you cannot do anything about it, do not waste time thinking about it. Once you do well in CAT, you can start preparing for the next phase. ATB

I guess past is past ... and need to work hard to move ahead

Could you throw some light on some skills or points i may add to my resume tat can make it stick out from the selection point of view....
