I have applied at INSEAD for Sep '10, currently waiting for the reply.

What do you think my chances are?

GMAT - 660, (92% Verbal, 58% Quant)

Does anybody know anyone who got in with such a poor quant showing?

GMAT is not the only thing the adcom looks at but you can significantly improve /reduce your chances depending on your score. Based on your profile, I think you would improve your chances of acceptance if you gave yourself more time and took gmat again. 640 is below INSEAD's desired GMAT score range. They may consider 640-650 (as long as it has a balanced Q/V breakdown), if you have been working for 5+ years and have substantial personal achievements, or if you have unique background that would help increase diversity in the classroom in a way that is not easily achievable otherwise. Even so, there is no guarantee.

The journey is everything...

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
