Ask Clear Admit

Hello Blue Dude,

Thank you for your post!

It looks like you have a highly competitive GMAT score, as well as potentially rich career history. In terms of presenting your candidacy, you will need to quantify your career impact and detail your progress. Given that you have already earned an MBA, you will need to make a detailed, passionate case for why an MBA from INSEAD would support your career progress further. Part of this piece of the application will be developing a clear career path; currently, it's unclear what you hope to do after you earn your MBA. Further, based on your low GPA from your prior MBA, the adcom may be concerned that you would not be able to handle the rigor of their program. So, while you have a solid GMAT score, you may consider taking some quant courses to prove that you could thrive in the classroom as well.

In regards to activities, I see that you had some involvement during your school years; however, given your age, the adcom will need assurance that you would still seek to be involved in the student community now. To enhance your application, I would recommend picking up a longstanding interest again and demonstrating your community leadership as soon as possible.

In regards to scholarships, INSEAD encourages applications be submitted in Round 1 or Round 2 for scholarship consideration (https://mba.insead.edu/faq/AdmissionsPro ... ompetitive). As you note an interest in applying Round 3, the timing of your application could influence your chances of securing a scholarship.
