Hello Hamza,

I was interpreting the GPA similar to the Indian system – where the 72% would actually be very good often (not scaled to US system). If that's wrong and the GPA is simply that low, then it depends on the specifics. Was it upward trending (good) or downward trending (bad)? Did you get decent grades in core quant courses? Etc. the adcoms will view it holistically, not just look at the number. Also, your master’s somewhat mitigates it.

With your target GMAT, Insead would be a reasonable reach. (Keep motivated for that GMAT – it will be behind you soon – and it makes a BIG difference!)
