One of my closet friends, first passage 300+ something
Second 720 like 2 months later
MIM LBS then, round 3 if my memoir is good
She graduated this year ! And you have fine scores from your mocks
So very encouraging :)
I am from India which is an overrepresented group. Wat would be my chances in the round 3?

Having a strong GMAT for INSEAD like, 700+min seems to be a non negotiable option
700 classic score right?

Guys for everyone “GMAT is a part of the application” remember that..the story should be coherent..your GMAT score shouldn’t be a spike in your application ( it raises questions tbh if other factors are not that great )

USE GMAT to uplift your application not catapult it to adcoms

For overrepresented applicants idts, 705 in focus might be the avg if you have a above average profile?
Sounds insanely high. When talking 1on1 with the admission they told me a 620 would be sufficient.

It completely depends on your profile ( you are an average student with low-mid academics it would be great to get high score to uplift your application)

Someone with a startup with funding or unsual profile like botany who wants to do something in botanical medicine selling etc as goal could get 620-640 avg and get in

Academically no, but professionally yeah. I am working as the head of design in a startup, helped raise funds, etc. and before my graduation I had a quick commerce startup, during the pandemic

I tend to agree that insead really values diversity. If you have a non generic background, this might be the school for you

Don’t make vague conclusions on everyone’s opinions..check all stats for yourself( I don’t think nobody here is an adcom an knows what schools are looking for and what they have in current cohort)

If you think that your application stands out for you with the current file go for it (if you have doubt wait for it).

I dont’have the exact stats Manna, but having a great file, well prepared and the best GMAT score that you could have, you will be happier, less stressed, more confident, even if round 3
But, I just read that you already have your file ready ! So no need to rush, girl you need to lock in for a week, 10 days
Ok thank you, I am a guy😭🙏
