Dear Kate,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Well I am planning to have a second attempt on GMAT and hope of getting something around 700. Lets see what happens.
Further as far as my profile is concerned, I have been promoted 4 times in 6 years and I have been in various leadership roles, currently I am leading operations department with almost 40 people, previously I have managed around 70 people for more than 2 years and successfully implemented various technical projects.
Further, I co-founded and remained president of a chess society during my B.Sc, I was also the president of Graduate students society during my MS. I am currently member of world chess federation, Pakistan chess federation and numerous professional engineering organizations.
Please suggest me school which 'll be competitive as per my profile. I am highly interested in Mcgill and Insead.

Hi Haseeb,
Thanks for reaching out! Your academic background is great, very strong GPA. I would love to see your GMAT (especially your Verbal score) a little higher. That will help a lot, especially at a top school like INSEAD, and at some of the other schools where the average is in the higher 600s I believe. Is retaking possible?
Otherwise, it's hard for me to evaluate the details of your profile...6 years experience is a good amount of time -- have you been promoted? leadership roles? what accomplishments? The exposure to different countries is great.
Also what extracurricular activities are you currently involved with? any leadership roles there? any volunteer / community focused work?
Feel free to provide more info!
Best,
Kate
