Thanks a lot! Actually, I am currently struggling on whether I should accept or decline INSEAD and risk it with LBS.

That is very very risky. I’ve heard of a lot of people talking to business schools and getting them to extend the deadlines. This was during the pandemic but still, I would push that route rather than try to risk and end up with nothing 😬 😬

Sorry for reaching out to you again - I still have not decided what to do hahah but I guess you are totally right that the decision against INSEAD would be very risky. Very informally, would you say my profile is belor or above average?
I am currently regretting not having applied to hec paris bc I thought I would not have a chance... and I actually never thought that I would be in the next round in both LBS and INSEAD

Congrats on your admit and invite!!! Awesome job!
It is a bit hard to say about the profile caliber as MiM profiles can be without any work experience.

I think your startup and engagement during undergrad is what makes your profile stronger. Perhaps your GPA and undergraduate institution were enough to cover the Focus test score that's close enough to average. However, from invites and admits, it looks like you have a very attractive profile 👍
