Great profile yash08,
Any particular reason you are limiting yourself to INSEAD? You can, for example, look at trying for a few other schools as well, especially with high Financial Aid in mind.
If for your reasons, you must look only at INSEAD, I don't have much to add to what Stratus has already mentioned.
