gy88 INSEAD is one of the very few schools that allows you to submit multiple scores. I think that you should keep it. However if your essays are not at the height of perfection then it's probably in your best interest to wait for Round 2... not so sure that the GMAT is necessary to retake unless you are Chinese or Indian. If so, I definitely would

Thanks mba coach for your valuable advise- definitely keeping the score then, although I’ll probably have to address my max 63% score in Quant between the two tests. Also I’m not of Chinese or Indian nationality. Will work hard on polishing up the rest of my application then ! Thanks again

GMAT Club Forum mobile app gy88 I'm glad to hear that you are not significantly over-represented and so that will help with the GMAT score being slightly under par. If you are under-represented it probably should just be absolutely fine.
With regards to the quant the raw score is not embarrassing. The percentile is a little on the low side but that just means you were in a very competitive group.
Some things you could do.. .use space in the optional essay to point to your aptitude for numeracy in other ways.... one would be to highlight solid grades obtained in quant courses in college, or discussing quantitative aptitude required for your job.
And if you have the time and feel the need you can do MBA math. 12 hour online self-paced program that basically certifies you as good enough at math.
I want to highlight that applicants often think they need to be good enough at everything they have to be meeting some specific, high threshold for every single thing...and while you do need to be strong in most areas (the 4 criteria) math is just not going to win the game for you and that's okay.
So really focus and think about what is your source of competitive advantage here? What really sets you apart from anybody else who could apply to that school. Really spend some time thinking about your brand and also what you could contribute to that no one else could...the perspective...the experiences...the aptitudes. How could you enrich the experience for your colleagues?
It's really more about a dazzling them with what you DO have than trying to remedy weaknesses; I hope you feel me on this.
