I think that would be quite the exception esp for males. They don’t take more than 13 1/2 percent from any one country and so this has an upward pressure on the GMAT - they’re spoiled for choice when it comes to India so it wouldn’t make a lot of sense for them to take an Indian esp Indian male with a 700 unless their profile is so arrestingly unique - they feel like he would add unprecedented value to the class. I was the thread master for many years and I never saw anything like that. But of course I’m not saying it’s impossible

On similar lines, GMAT Focus score of 665, would be tough as well?

Based on the conversion table on GMAT club that would be a 720 which is definitely a better situation than 700, still skeptical about the ability of an Indian male to get in with that score. I think 730 is the tipping point where you really become viable. But my same comment applies as before if your profile is so arrestingly unique, there’s some element of celebrity, there’s something irreplaceable about you that changes the game. But it’s always best to think of yourself as the rule and not the exception. If you’ve been thinking about getting a tutor or trying new strategies, trying out the GRE, something like that I would do that.

If you're not applying on Jan16th, I would encourage folks to wait for the January intake batch (Jan 2026 intake not Jan deadline) and apply in March when they have a 1000 seats available. It's just a matter of three months. And the great majority of the scholarships are only available in round one or round two, which are particularly close together this year round 1 being March 12th and round 2 April 23rd.

The application is really long - 7 essays and 5 recommendation questions x 2 recommenders - so give yourself at least 2 months, more if you are still working on your test score, have a super busy job or travel plans.

Take the time to draft and iterate. Research your goals, alumni interviews often consist of grilling your plans of starting a business if you intend that.

INSEAD admissions talks about how your admissions odds are the same across rounds but I simply do not believe that is true when it comes to overrepresented applicants. According to Wikipedia they take a maximum of 12% per country, i've also heard 13 1/2 percent so this is around 120-135 Indians. I'm sure they do reserve some of those seats for later rounds but it's hard for me to believe they do so equally across rounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INSEAD

Thanks for the intel! Up until now, how many Indians do you think they would’ve enrolled? Has this crossed the 12-13% per country benchmark you’re talking about?
