Hello Team,

I am really interested in applying to only 2 universities:

INSEAD and Indian School of Business (ISB).

Here is my profile in short:
- Undergrad in Electronics and Telecom Engg, India (First class)
- Masters in Telecomm Engg from Univ of Colorado, Boulder (GPA 3.6)
- Work Ex - 5 years (with career progression from sysadmin to product consultant to project manager)
- GMAT - 540 (Q47, V29)
- Reco - My exisiting manager and my mentor in my current company. They absolutely love me.
- Extra Curricular:
a. Founder Secretary - Electronics and Telecomm Engg Students Association, India
b. Technology chair - ITP Univ of Colorado, Boulder
c. Secretary - Indian Students Association
d. Volunteer - CRY (Child Relief and You, Atlanta Chapter)
e. Volunteer - Charity Water, Boston.

What are my chances of an admit at these universities? Also, do you think i should take the GMAT again before applying? I really dont do well at these standardized tests and wont be expecting a whole lot of score jump (in my opinion), but that's the only way to do it, I will retake it.
