Hello,
I am facing a little dilemma, which your opinion would really help me solve.
After a few weeks of practice, I took the GMAT. I scored a honest 690, but my score is a unbalanced: 56% in quant (lacked time) and 97% verbal.
I would like to apply to INSEAD, which favors balanced scores (70/75% for each) but two things might re-balance my application. First, I have an original profile - I have been working as an economist for the World Bank for 5 years, advising governments in Africa and Asia on their economic policy, leading teams, learning several languages, traveling and living extensively abroad. Second, I have a good GPA from my previous graduate school, an M.A. in international economics from Johns Hopkins University (3.97, with honors, and "A" in all my quantitative classes ,such as econometrics and quantitative economics).
I wonder, though, whether INSEAD is likely to apply some kind of automatic elimination for scores like mine. if so, my good profile would not really help.
I'm sure the safe solution would be to work like crazy and take it again, but my schedule is quite insane, and that's a step I'd like to make only if it really makes sense. Would you recommend me to take it again?
Thank you so much for your help !
