International exposure: Yes
GMAT: 720/800
Is it safe to apply with this profile?

Hello All -
Hi @Rohanmishra26- First of all thanks for reaching out. I think I can give you some pretty good information as I was on the adcom of Kenan-Flagler for 15 yrs. My comments will be below:
I gave my GMAT a couple of days ago and got a score of 720(Q50/V38). I need advice on the schools that I can apply to with my score and have a realistic chance of admission being an Indian applicant. Below is a brief on my profile:This GMAT is not going to keep you out but nor is it going to be a slam dunk to get you in. However, I like the ExxonMobil work experience as Kenan-Flagler has some great relationships there and I like the sales and marketing work as it is not something everyone in your pool can bring. I also like the ops manager work at NEED. In your application highlight how you progressed at ExxonMobil- or even better have your recommender comment on your progression relative to peers. Also highlight why you are working at NEED and how this fits into your long term plans. You can set yourself apart with strong research on Kenan-Flagler and we at Stratus have some great experience here and so even a few hours of consultation can be very helpful if you'd like to do that. Here's a link for 5% off- and we could even just do an hour where I can help you prepare more specifically if that is of interest. I would look at some of the leadership rotational programs which might be an easier pathway to employment. Happy to help if you'd like more info- otherwise I absolutely suggest R2- coming soon or R3 but definitely not R4. If you have not yet started I would give yourself the time to do R3 so that you can put together a thoughtful application as you are in that bubble area where your best chances will include a very specific and well researched application on why Kenan-Flagler. Best wishes!

Graduation: Mechanical Engineering(Passed out in 2013) - GPA: 3.5(according to WES)
Work Experience: 39 months in sales and marketing at ExxonMobil Corporation and currently working as an operations manager at NEED(Network for Economic and Entrepreneurship Development ; It's a non-profit organization based out of Lucknow, India)
Extra-Curriculars: school and college Football team, Squash and Swimming school teams ; Acted in and directed Choreos during college ; Part of organizing committee of a number of college fests and led the marketing team during a couple of fests.
Volunteer work: Part of a number of volunteer activities during college and work at EM(house building, teaching, roadshows etc).
