Hey, @Aaa12345

With your unique 10-year career in the Indian Air Force, you possess a good profile for MBA applications. This experience showcases leadership, discipline, teamwork, and the ability to thrive under pressure—all highly sought-after qualities in consulting and finance. Your exceptional quantitative skills, demonstrated by your high GMAT score, further strengthen your candidacy.

Your low GPA might raise an eyebrow at top programs, but a strong GMAT score can help lighten that concern. Your international exposure could be broadened, though highlighting interaction with international stakeholders during your corporate stint is a good start.

Highlight Air Force experience in essays & recommendations. Quantify achievements showcasing leadership and problem-solving honed in service. Connect these skills to consulting/finance goals. Consider adding schools with veteran programs alongside INSEAD.

Remember to emphasize the soft skills honed through extracurricular activities, like communication and teamwork. While mentioning your veteran and spouse status is optional, focus primarily on showcasing the transferable skills you've gained. Thorough research of each program's strengths and how your profile aligns is important.
