Please help evaluate my profile and chances of getting admitted into London Business School and INSEAD. Thank you.

GMAT: 670
AWA: 5

Undergrad: 2.9 (I know this is terrible), Business Administration, University of Florida

Work Experience: 6 years all in China, Sales - Engineering/Construction and Real Estate

2nd Language: Advanced Mandarin Chinese

Citizenship: USA

I should have some compelling stories to tell in my essays about my experience and do "check" the "international box" of both schools but would like your opinion on my boiler plate profile. Let me know if additional information will help you in your assessment. Thanks!

Nothing less there but it looks like you need to put some meat through the EC's.

We would like to know more about your stories and then comment.

2.9 GPA is low but then people with good reasons have made through. Refine your reason-presentation.

Sorry, im not sure what you mean by "Nothing less there"... could you please explain?

Also, I am a little reluctant to elaborate further on my profile. Is that ok?
