Hi, it is important to understand how admissions officers evaluate your profiles. I can shed some light on a few aspects here (based on my discussions with INSEAD adcoms)
If you are from an overrepresented pool (e.g. Indian IT /technical male applicants), it is good to have a balanced GMAT score. Admissions committees evaluate your performance along with that of your peers on a normalized curve. For example, a Q49 score is considered borderline elite for strong Indian applicants to top global business schools. So, if your quant score is close to this value or you have crossed this threshold, the admissions committee is confident that you can handle the academically demanding curricula.
Your verbal score is more likely to reflect your ability to participate in discussions in a truly global group.
Similarly, for native English speakers (such as applicants from the US and the UK), adcoms would be concerned if the applicant’s verbal score is well below the threshold for their population.
As an Indian applicant, if you have a balanced GMAT score, meaning you performed well on the Quant section, you can be less concerned about your overall GMAT score specifically for European schools. European schools tend to be more understanding of non-native speakers’ verbal performance.
Possessing prior degrees in business is another way to demonstrate your capability to manage the MBA curriculum, which can also lead to obtaining a GMAT exemption. This is why many applicants with previous degrees in finance or certifications such as CFA are able to waive the GMAT requirement.

Hi
Your achievements will be compared to those of other applicants with similar backgrounds and a comparable number of years of work experience. MBA applicants undergo evaluation on a normalized curve, resulting in fewer acceptances for both very young/less experienced individuals and significantly older applicants.
As a younger applicant, it is important to differentiate yourself by demonstrating a solid understanding of your industry or field acquired during the last approximately 2.5 years through various projects and initiatives. Highlighting a steep learning curve in your career within this timeframe will be crucial. Additionally, provide thorough explanations of your future career plans and the initiatives you have undertaken to prepare for transitioning into your desired post-MBA role, function, industry, or geography.
Feel free to connect and discuss your profile and whether this is the appropriate time for you to apply.
