Abstract: Fix an arbitrary finite group $A$ of order $a$, and let $X(n,q)$ denote the set of homomorphisms from $A$ to the finite general linear group ${mGL}_n(q)$. The size of $X(n,q)$ is a polynomial in $q$. In this note it is shown that generically this polynomial has degree $n^2(1-a^{-1})-epsilo{n}_r$ and leading coefficient $m_r$, where $epsilo{n}_r$ and $m_r$ are constants depending only on $r:=nmoda$. We also present an algorithm for explicitly determining these constants.
