Hey,
What exactly do you mean by "stretch Programs". That I stand a good chance of cracking it? Or, "give it a try" sorta thing?
And, further, I've been told that an MNC experience counts for more. Is that generally a norm?
Finally, Given the profile (above) do you feel my candidature as strong? Or Unique?
Hopefully, this is the final set of questions :p
Looking forward to hearing from you soon
Best

"Stretch" in my book means that you are reaching, literally stretching, to get in. In other words, your chances aren't great, but in my mind it makes sense to "give it a try."
Your GMAT is very strong. Your work experience is distinctive, but on the short side and your GPA is a little low for Kellogg, Tuck, INSEAD, and Haas. Plus INSEAD really likes its students to have multi-cultural or international experience. I don't sense that you have that. You do seem to have good leadership experience.
If you wait a year or two and advance either in this position or change jobs and get a job with even more responsibility, you will put distance between you and that GPA as well as show the growth and professional track record that could really enhance your candidacy at the top programs.
And even now, you are competitive at the other programs on your list.
I hope this clarifies my prior post.
Linda
