Profile Evaluation Request - With a very specific question

Hi,
First time posting on this forum so I might not be familiar with the rules. Please let me know if this post should be moved elsewhere.
I have recently been admitted to INSEAD, and I am currently debating if I should apply for Harvard, Wharton and Stanford. INSEAD did not grant me admission deferral and I will have to re-apply if I do not enroll. The only reason I would not apply to the said three schools would be the possibility of being rejected by all three, and then rejected when I re-apply to INSEAD.
Please evaluate my profile to see if there are any concerns re-applying to INSEAD.
Should I re-apply, I am planning to use the identical application, especially for my reference letters, because I have recently changed jobs and moved to a different continent. It is a big hassle to coordinate with my references on revisions.
Below is my profile and GMAT scores. I have taken the GMAT twice and will list both marks below.
Profile
Gender: Male
Age: 28

*This is the GMAT score I used for my INSEAD application.
Second attempt: 720 (Q50 V38 IR6 AW TBD, official report not yet received)
I also have an immediate family member as an INSEAD alumnus, not sure if that plays a factor.
Thank you for your time. Your evaluation will be invaluable in assisting me to make the right decision.
