Working on my MBA application, I would be really glad if you could give a glance at my profile (I tried to make it short) and give me an idea about my chances of getting into INSEAD.
Thanks a lot for your advice, it would be extremly valuable to me.
Profile:
- - 29 Male from France
- GMAT - 670 (Q42/43, V40) - I dunno what to do with the GMAT, first attempt 670, second cancelled score, third attempt (yesterday) 670 again (I'm around Q45-47 during Prep, but can't make it the D-day...)

I don't think that it is possibe with my Gmat score to aim at the very big ones, but do you think INSEAD is "achievable"? Or do I need to give a 4th attempt to gmat?
I would be glad to give any futher information if needed.
Thanks again.
