Hi all,
I'm planning to apply to INSEAD for January 2026 MBA FT intake (R1) but having second thoughts about my score. From your experience, can you share if I stand a realistic chance? Profile Below:
- Demographics: Indian, Male, Engineer & MBA.
- Engineering Degree: From an NIT (National Institute of Technology i.e. one tier below IITs which are the top engineering schools in India) with a GPA of 7.8/10.
- MBA: From FMS, Delhi (A tier-1, top 5 B-School in India) with 72% score (top quartile in the batch).
- Work Experience: 9.5 years (by Jan'25). Initial career experience in management consulting (4.5 years), then moved to Google in a marketing role.
- International Exposure: Projects in Europe and Middle East during consulting days and trainings/business meetings in the US during Google. Did an internship from an engineering school in The Netherlands during my bachelors.
- GMAT FE Score: 665 (93rd Percentile).
I'm well aware that I'm from an over represented demographic and so, doubts are creeping in about whether I should apply in R1 or wait till R2 and try to improve my GMAT score.
Please share your advice. If you need additional information, let me know. TIA!

Hi. INSEAD's average is about 700-710 based on the old scale and that's around 645-655, so you are right there with overall average. Yes, you are right, a little under the bar probably for the India group of applicants.... but it is still at/above average for the school.
However, your Consulting and Google brand will absolutely win INSEAD over.
I can recommend submit a profile for evaluation in the Decision Tracker as well for Admissions consultants to comment on. However, I feel you are just fine with your score and as long as you tell them you are planning a safe transition / will recruit on your own, I feel you have a strong profile with a good shot.
P.S. Are you applying for Jan Intake?

Hi IppoMakanouchi,
That's a tough one. When it comes to the top schools, we generally want to go in with as high a GMAT score as possible. Now, you could absolutely go ahead with a 665, but since you're an FMS grad, do you think you could get a better score (I understand it's been some time)?
