INSEAD GMAT cutoff

by madman » Thu Apr 29, 2010 6:27 pm
I have applied at INSEAD for Sep '10, currently waiting for the reply.

What do you think my chances are?

GMAT - 660, (92% Verbal, 58% Quant)

Does anybody know anyone who got in with such a poor quant showing?

GMAT is not the only thing the adcom looks at but you can significantly improve /reduce your chances depending on your score. Based on your profile, I think you would improve your chances of acceptance if you gave yourself more time and took gmat again. 640 is below INSEAD's desired GMAT score range. They may consider 640-650 (as long as it has a balanced Q/V breakdown), if you have been working for 5+ years and have substantial personal achievements, or if you have unique background that would help increase diversity in the classroom in a way that is not easily achievable otherwise. Even so, there is no guarantee.
The journey is everything...
