I am an international student that got my Bachelor's (BBA) in an American University. By the time I begin applying to schools, I will only have about 9 - 12 months of work experience because of the OPT Rule (which permits International non-STEM students only one year of work authorization and about 3 years for STEM majors)

So my question is what are my chances of getting into Kenan-Flagler or Mendoza? My undergraduate GPA is 3.6. I did a lot of extra curricular activities as an undergraduate (community service, served as University Ambassador, and held some leadership positions). I also recently had a job promotion where I work (although in total I would ONLY STILL have about one year of full-time work experience). I am yet to write my GMAT (will take it this month).

So as an international student with only one year of work experience because of the OPT Rule? Would I be wasting my time applying to Kenan-Flagler or Mendoza? Is the lack of work-experience a deal breaker?

Thanks in advance for a reply

Not a total waste of time, if you can really knock out the GMAT and showcase high potential in the year you work then they may take a flyer on you. But you will come in well under the avg years so know you will have to make a strong case here
