Hey Guys,
Had been trolling these pages for sometime. Congratulations to those accepted & best wishes to those applied for R2.
Given the discussion on GMAT scores (specially given im an Indian applicant), needed your opinions on my situation.
First my profile, Indian/Male/31, Mumbai (grew up in Saudi Arabia), above average-ish Acads, total Work-ex 7yrs mainly in international credit research (3.5 yrs in Global rating agency, 2yrs+ in bulge bracket FI; 1 yr prop equity trading in Saudi).
My problem is my GMAT scores:
Attempt 1: 660, Q46 V35.
Attempt 2: 640, Q37 V41
My heart was really set on applying for R3 Jan'14 (until I saw my score) & i wont be able to give the GMAT again before the deadline. Would it be foolish to waste my one shot with Insead with low GMAT scores & in R3? Would the fact that i have already got 70%tile in Quants in my earlier attempt help me out. Or should i just try for a better/balanced score then apply? Not looking forward to delaying my application.
Appreciate your two cents on this. Thanks in advance.

Ask yourself these questions.
1. What is your career goal ?
2. Where do you want to work after INSEAD ?
Then. For IB, you need to be in the January intake to get a shot at an IB job, for consulting, it doesnt matter that much.
You are Indian, relative low GMAT score compare to your Indian counterpart. I would recommend you wait for next intake class of 15J (consulting) or class of15D (IB)
Then, you should take some time a retake the GMAT and apply on the first round of any intakes whether it is Sep or Jan.
I am not prepared yet. These guys who are saying not to prepare must have prepared day and night like dogs and now trying their best to look COOL
