Hi
digidoc,
First of all, a good profile there. It’s a good mix of perceptive insights, academics, ability to contribute, leadership skills and international motivation (the things that INSEAD looks for in an application). The fact that you are a doctor with entrepreneurial experience is definitely a cherry on top and will help you in setting your application apart.
I can absolutely relate to the hiccups that you faced in your entrepreneurial journey, as I experienced the same while running my first startup back in 2015, and they constituted a major part of my application. Your intention to join INSEAD clearly seems valid.
Looking at your profile, , considering the small pool of applicants, and taking into account your nationality, I believe that a GMAT score of 700 and above should be good be good enough for you in the current situation.
Cheers!
