There are articles on Kira prep, you can just Google them. Kira on its own isn’t a deal breaker but it’s as important as your written essays

Hello,

To answer your question, there are 3 profiles that matter whenever applying to a top university like INSEAD: academic, professional, and interpersonal.

Everything in your professional and interpersonal profile is more to do with how you pick up the dots from your past, amplify them to the maximum possible, and present them in a way that aligns with the university’s value.

You can view your academic profile (undergrad CGPA + GMAT/GRE score) as a minimum requirement that you need to apply to certain universities such as INSEAD. While there have been admits with even a 605 FE in GMAT and 312 in GRE, I personally have more confidence in the application once we’re touching 645 FE atleast.

This doesn’t mean that you can’t apply or get in with a lower score, but your chances simply improve if the score is more than this.

@WA@lzf20 - some more details can help assess your profile and answer your question better. For instance:

- Educational background: undergrad/ masters university, GPAs
- Work experience: companies, roles, impact, promotions, career progression, etc.
- Extracurricular activities
- Any international exposure
- Career goals

Broadly though, if you belong to an over-represented demographic pool e.g. Indian Male Engineer, it'd be ideal to aim for 675-685+ (GMAT Focus) to increase your odds at INSEAD.

Hope this helps.
