Hi Anshul -

I think that your GMAT may be a bit low for your demographic and for INSEAD, but it does not necessarily put the school out of reach. If you can position your work accomplishments to show real leadership and if you also have community service or engagement with the world outside of work, and can tell a strong and logical career story (how your past supports what you want to do in the future and why INSEAD is a bridge between the two), you could be competitive there.

Good luck,

Jessica

That's a decision only you can make, but I don't see any red flags that would concern me with your application (aside from the relatively low GMAT and demographic). Good luck!

"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."
