Hi all,
I would greatly appreciate if you could give me your opinion on my profile.
French, 26yo, Male
Education:
- BSc in a top 5 french school - average grades (12/20)
(international exchange in unknow Californian school-6 months, GPA 3.7)
- MSc in a top 3 UK school - average grades (pass)
(international exchange in best Italian school-6 months)
Gmat:
690 (Q49-V34)
Professional background:
- Five internships in strategy and marketing, including two small ones abroad. The last ones being 12 and 6 months (Assistant brand manager in a big FMCG company working on a brand name switch for a major brand ; Assistant of the CEO of a small luxury retailer)
- Three years in a top US strategy consulting firm (at least top 10) in London, with a few projects outside Europe. Good evaluations - one promotion.
Extra-curricular:
- Quite a lot of activities in political think tank while in Bachelor
- Ran several marathons (time: 3h30) for an association supporting blind people - fundraised £1000 everytime
- Active member of the association supporting blind people
Languages:
4 common European languages spoken
Post-MBA goals:
Finding a top job (strategy or finance) in a major Telco company in order to reach top management or switch later to PE. (Can probably make a nice essay explaining the coherence between my work experience, telco and my work with blind people?)
Target schools:
- H/S/W + Insead
- MIT/Columbia + LBS
Any insight/comment will help me.
Concerning the Gmat, would you say it's interesting to repass it to get 700/720 and balance a bit more the low GPA? (I have time to pass it)
Thank you very much.
Ben

You profile is very strong for INSEAD in my opinion.
As for US school, H/S are pretty much reaches for most people so it's hard to say anyone have great odds, however if your "top consulting firm" is M/B/B catagory then you're odds go up significantly.
As with the others, same goes with M/B/B or not.. if you are from deloitte, ATK, accenture level, then your profile becomes fairly common (albeit strong). You're GPA, GMAT is average when compared to the your consulting peers. The International experience would make you stand out so it is how you write you essays (cliche, I know).
So I think the X-factor is which consulting firm you are working at. M/B/B more than likely for I/W/C and a fair shot at H/S. If you are not. then you become fair shot at W/C and more than likely for I, and stretch for H/S.

Thank you very much for these insights. It is useful for me 
You mentionned my company in second position of your second group.
This profile is just a bit in the future and I could improve my profile through different things:
- 5 months project in Telco in Africa (several countries),
- repassing the gmat,
- mention the fact that I travelled alone three months in Asia and SouthAm after college (in an essay about importance of international factor to me).
Would these help?
Thank you again for spending your time helping, I appreciate.

P.S. The fact that I travelled three months alone in Asia and South America
