Dears,
I have just taken the GMAT
I scored a 650, but my score is very unbalanced: 49% in quant, 89% verbal, AWA 92% and IR 81%.
INSEAD favor balanced scores (70/75% for each) but people tell me not to worry: my good grades (masters in international business, 3.25-4.0 GPA with honors), and my good profile should amply compensate. I have been working for 6 years, the last 3.5 years for a global bluechip company with a repsonsibility for EMEA. All in all I have lived and worked in Europe (France, Germany, U.K.) Asia Pacific (Thailand, Japan, China). I currently live in Korea. I speak 4 languages fluently and have basic proficiency in 3 others. On top of that I hold a bachelor of science and a bachelor of arts.
I really struggle with quantative and have spent a considerable time on it already. Do you believe my international profile and experience can offset the disparity in my scores?
Thank you in advance.

Per INSEAD's MBA Class Profile the average GMAT is a 701 so I would suggest for you to retake the exam, even if your scores were more balanced. However, the range of accepted scores are from 610 to 780, so you can be accepted with your present score, but your chances are less.
Good luck,

Well, it is obviously better with a higher GMAT, but if your work experience is exceptional, you can have a shot. I have seen folks get into INSEAD with similar GMAT scores... although it does make things harder,
Best,
