Hi,

Thanks for your post. You seem to have a well balance profile with a good career trajectory to date as well as a nice mix of extracurricular activities. I think you can be competitive for admission to INSEAD and yes, you certainly can come back and work in the US after although you may not wish to share this idea with the school. You may wish to phrase your goals in such a way that you focus on the roles you want to have and skills you wish to build rather than where you want to live while you do it.

Best,

Stacey
