Firstly, it is my first day here so I already cross posted by mistake to a couple of companies before finding this one out...My apologies...

GMAT: QA = 49, VA = 40, AWA = 6. IR = 8, Total = 730
TOEFL: Speak = 30, read = 30, Listen = 30, Write = 29, Total = 119
Work Ex: 3.5 yrs in Indian Oil, India
2 months in United Breweries, India
Responsibility: Process Engineering role for 2.5 yrs, operations for initial 1 yr. No subordinates.
Intl experience: Dealing with international consultants/vendors
Acads: 8.8 from top engg college in West Bengal (non IIT)
Extracurriculars: Secretary of college festivals and clubs. Started a couple of festivals with own initiative.

Recently dinged from Mannheim 2nd round (applied one day before deadline).

Advice on where all to apply (few far reaches and few realstic ones). Hopefully 5 applications can be done.

Career options: Open to Consulting or strategy/Operations. Equally open to marketing/finance.

Can I apply for Fall 14 anywaere? If not then Fall 15. How to improve profile in one year?

Well,
you have a fantastic GMAt and TOEFL, and what seems like good work experience.
since you applied one day before the deadline, my guess would be that you rushed your application and it wasn't up to its full potential. so I'd say take your time, this time around.

As for school selection: What are your goals? What schools are you looking into? US/Europe/Asia???
