A few initial thoughts on your profile lukachiri:
  1. The academic arc looks good given that rank. Not clear about the pedigree of the college though - that matters a lot. While the current GMAT score is ok, it may not be in line with the stellar (?) academic background. Given the heightened interest in Rotman especially lately, might be worth pondering over this point.
  2. The O&G experience is usually good and eventful; the international experience will be especially handy. It does makes things a bit trickier though since transition out of O&G is not very linear. So make sure you think about your post-MBA plans well and clearly.
  3. You've not provided any details on the ECs. Read here on why they matter.
  4. A few stories to take inspiration from given your target schools here and O&G profile here.

Hope this helps some and feel free to reach out for more.

Cheers,
