Hello deeppan,
It will be very difficult to comment on your profile as you haven’t given details around your experience. It will also be good to know about your extra-curricular.
Your experience for INSEAD is definitely on the higher side. You have much of international experience, which is a positive for INSEAD; however, one question is why do you need an MBA after 10 years of WE. This is something you will have to convince AdCom about. You haven’t talked much about your goals post MBA, and I think this will be the key to your chances for INSEAD.
Again, if I had more details around your UG score, it would have been easier to comment on what you should target for GMAT. But only considering your experience, you should be fine with anything above 700. However, try to aim as high as you can.
Dear Ruchi,
Thanks a lot for your quick & kind response.
UG score: 61.12%
Reason for MBA: I wish to go for FT MBA because I understand that Post MBA I can be part of the Oil & Gas consultation group or operator side, Looking at the current market trend of Oil & Gas industry.
