Hi--I posted this elsewhere, but I wanted to get some opinions.
About me: 26 yr old female, U.S.
Undergrad is from an OK state liberal arts school.
Post MBA goals: strategy consulting w/ focus on emerging markets
most important aspects of MBA=global focus
Stats:
3.4 GPA, International Affairs major, minor in French Language
Former Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine
Still active on volunteer committees at work and outside of work
No GRE score yet
Languages: Russian (advanced), French (intermediate), Spanish (basic)
Work experience: ~4+ years, mostly in public policy
~1+ year consulting for a non-profit at the UN
~2 years in Peace Corps, working on project management and local business dev
~2 years (current) working for federal government ensuring HR depts comply with laws; negotiate settlements if not
Also freelanced and published some articles, planned some events at the UN, etc
I'm interested in INSEAD..but trying to get an idea of what other schools are out there. I'm a terrible test taker and my background in quant could be vastly improved (B- in Macroecon in undergrad, B+ in Intl Trade and Finance due to lack of focus).
Any thoughts or tips are appreciated

You will be an interesting diversity candidate for INSEAD, and the bonus is they are not quite as GMAT centric as US schools are. Still, you will likely want to get a GMAT score that falls at least within the school's 80% range (usually this is posted somewhere and for INSEAD seems to be in the neighborhood of 680-770). I guess the discouraging news is, they seemed to not let anyone in last year who scored less than a 650, so it appears that would be the minimum target for you on the GMAT. Even as a female with a diverse professional perspective to offer, you will still be competing (apparently) against other applicants with similar strengths.
