Chang,
Thanks for posting a detailed profile, makes the evaluations more useful.
You have a very good profile on the surface, 770 GMAT, 6.0 AWA, grad GPA pretty good etc. The work experience is ok, yes I agree because it is not quite business focused it is not ideal, but these programs take lots of non business folks, especially if you can tease out in your application that you were involved in customer facing roles, business decisions, leadership roles etc.
INSEAD has a slightly older class so I am less concerned with your experience. The fact that you are older is less important as the # of years of experience and if you don't count school, its not that much. If you count school, you are well above the average but given your strong scores and good GPA (depending on the rank as I ask below), you have a shot at this program.
Some questions for you:
1) How is a 3.5 at your undergrad? What % rank would that be?
2) What do you want to do post MBA? You should think about this as you consider programs
3) What regions do you want to study in? Only Europe? Interested in studying in the states or anywhere else?
I can certainly recommend some good schools for you once you let me know answers to those questions. Feel free to reach out for specific advice or if you just want my insight once you let me know these answers. Good luck!
