I am planning to apply in R3 for specialization in Supply chain!!

What are the chances of making it!!?? I have got a pretty decent GMAT score (660) and decent profile (6 years in SCM implementation). Is it even a good idea to apply in R3!?

Unfortunately I am not a domestic applicant. I am an Indian applicant with 6 years of exp in Oracle apps supply chain implementation. I am not too bothered about scholarship, but I am worried whether I will get an interview or not.

They continue to interview 50-60% of applicants upto last round. the overall conversion rate is 80 admits out of 500 applicants (16%). If you feel you are good enough- go for it !!!
