Hi there,
Thanks for your post. From the brief info here (which is obviously not your full application), I'd say you are on the fence... you could be considered, BUT in an extremely large and competitive applicant pool, it's possible you wouldn't make the cut. Things that could help you further include very strong and compelling essays and explanations for WHY (esp. re: 2nd MBA??); extremely strong Letters of Rec; nailing interviews if you get them; and yes stronger GMAT BUT I can understand not wanting to give it another shot after 3 times.
Making the case for a 2nd MBA can be quite tough; so keep that in mind!! You'd need to really explain how and why, and why that initial degree was not/is not sufficient. You could have a slim shot at LBS and INSEAD as it stands so I wouldn't say don't apply, but you may want to add a couple of 'safer' schools too, food for thought. Good luck to you!
