Dear Paul/Linda,

could you please evaluate my profile for (HBS, Kellog, Haas, INSEAD). INSEAD is my top choice due to the financial constraints and location. Would prefer to end uo in Europe or Middle East

Profile:
Kazakhstan / M / 29 y.o./ Muslim
Education: Bachelors in International Relations from Institute in Kazakhstan, GPA - don't know how to translate into 4.00 grading scale, graduated with highest honors
Work experience:
1.5 years- Military services, promoted from private to sergeant in 7 months to manage a crew of 10 soldiers
3 years - Small joint venture company, manufacturing industry, promoted 3 times in 2 years. First out of 200+ employees ever promoted to a supply chains director position within 24 months - 26 people under direct supervision.
Intr-l experience: worked in China and Russia for the total of 1 year.
GMAT - 700 (Q50, V35), AWA 4
Not very impressive extra curriculars due to the extremely busy schedule.

Want to try my luck in MC, or manufacturing industry.

I look forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards,
Saken

You have a competitive profile for your target programs with the exception of weak extra-curriculars. I encourage you to apply to all your target programs and see where you get in and if you are offered any financial aid.

If we can help you with your application, please let us know. We have an editor in Paris

Best,
Linda

Thank you so much Linda. Very encouraging.
It is kind of tough to play soccer and serve a mission in Africa when you work 80+ hours a week:-D

Btw, what do you mean by saying you have an "editor" in Paris? Is it someone who is an expert in applications for INSEAD?

Yes. We have an editor (Tanis Kmetyk) located in Paris, and while several of Accepted staff have had clients accepted to INSEAD, she has worked with more successful INSEAD applicants than anyone else on staff.

Best,
Linda
