Hello,
I have just passed the exam today and scored 700 (Q47, V39, IR8). This is my second attempt, I got 670 at my first attempt a month ago (Q44, V39, IR5). However I cancelled my first score of 670, so the adcom will only see 700 as a first attempt. My question is: is this score enough for INSEAD?
INSEAD is my first choice and I really want to show my profile as strong as possible. 700 is in their target range, but Q47 is only 67 percentile. While INSEAD mentions they want to see a balance score of 70 percentile in both quant and verbal, should I retake the GMAT? (considering that this 8 in IR is a miracle, as I always had 5 in mocks, approximately between Q47 and Q49 in quant, and between V37/39 in verbal). I am targeting to apply for first round in september so I do have some time ahead, but I still have the toefl, essays etc to do.
My profile is:
French, female, 29 years, 5.5 years of work experience (4 years in London in finance in a big US company and 1.5 year in consulting in Paris, big US company as well, and various internships between France, London, US and Germany).
Education: Master in Management from a French b-school and 2 year preparatory classes to present the national exam to enter b-school in France.
GPA: good but nothing exceptional, I don't have a transcript of my notes in GPA format yet, as b-school in France don't use GPA (at least mine).
Extra: fund-raising activities for humanitarian project in Ecuador, music player in orchestra, Vice-president of international student Council, while at b-school and many backpacking travels.
I would like to have your opinion if my GMAT score of 700 (all the most the Q47) is good enough or if I should retake?
Many thanks for your advice !

Thanks for sharing your profile.
700 is right around the INSEAD but Quant is slightly below the desired score. Also, the French are one of the most well-represented groups, thus making it one of the most competitive pools.
The decision to retake the GMAT would depend on the amount of time you can put in and the likelihood that you can score better. If you can improve your score by 30 points in the next month, you would still have 3 months to polish up your essays, which is still enough time based on the experience of our clients.
Should you decide not to retake, it would be a good idea to play up quantitative and analytical work to help show your strength in these areas and ability to keep up with the pace of the program.
Wish you all the best and look forward to your updates.

Hello !
Thank you for your advice. Having taken the GMAT a third time (however I cancelled my first score), I now scored 680 at my third attempt (Q48-73%; V34-71%; IR6-67%). It's great that I managed to go beyond 70% in quant but my verbal has suffered quite a bit.. Is it wiser to simply cancel that 680 score and only show my previous second score of 700 (Q47-67%; V39-89%; IR8)? I'm targeting INSEAD and I'm afraid that V34 is looking quite bad and will only disqualify my previous V39..
Thank you so much for your advice !
