I wish to apply for the September 2017 batch of INSEAD and potentially Aug 2017 batch of LBS. I am an Indian male,just turned 36 this month, with 13+ experience in IT-around 7 years out of it in the UK and Australia. I am currently located in Australia.

I have worked for a range of clients across geographies and business domains, predominantly in the technology implementation and technology consultancy areas. I have led diversely located teams along the way too. I have always had a keen interest in entrepreneurship and believe this is the right time to leverage my varied experience working on various technologies, with diverse teams to make a mark in this area. An international MBA I feel will help channelise my efforts in the right direction.

Hope it makes sense.

I took the GMAT last week and scored 770(99 percentile): AWA6(90 percentile)/IR8(92 percentile)/V44(98 percentile)/Q51(97 percentile)


Could you let me know what my chances are.

Many thanks in advance.

1. It will be good to understand the brands you have been associated with. Tech consulting is a pretty broad term. If its more as a Business Analyst sort of role, it will be better compared to a pure technology related work. That will dictate the profile's richness more than just the location here.
2. For an experienced professional such as yourself, the task is really cut out to ensure adcoms understand your rationale. The blog here should help you some.
3. For reasons mentioned here, we do not really provide gut-based school suggestions. That said, you should also explore IMD in addition to the two. Finally, programs such as LBS Fellows/Sloan Fellows could be far better suited - so if you've not explore those, do that now.
4. The GMAT score would of course grab instant attention. It is also important to however look at the academic arc in its entirety too.
