Hi Singh,

I have to concur with the previous poster: your chances currently for INSEAD are low, but your profile is a fit for top 15-25 US. Now, if you want to become a contender for INSEAD, unfortunately that leaves you with two choices: take the GMAT examination again or take the GRE. I can't seem to say this enough, but the GMAT is not the only test-key of entry into a top MBA program. The GRE covers very similar topics and is often used by test takers who simply do not find the GMAT a good fit.

Have you considered taking this examination? You can find free and official GRE software to gauge your level here: https://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general ... powerprep2. Just keep in mind, there's no point to settle until you've exhausted all your options.
