As far as I know, if you're Indian you should satisfy the language requirement for admissions so long as you speak Hindi or Urdu in addition to English. While at INSEAD, you are then required to learn a third language of your choice (and since it's in France, learning French may be a practical thing since you'll have to learn some French anyhow when interacting with people outside the school).

I wouldn't worry too much about the age - INSEAD skews older but that doesn't mean they prefer older. It's just a function of their applicant pool.

Hi Alex,

I'm an Indian and have been working with UK/German clients from India for the last 3yrs. During this time I've traveled to London and Desseldorf for client visits, once to each place for a week both times. Besides, I've personal travel history to the US and south-east Asia.

I'd also like to mention that my job is as good as a front-office guy but I'm still in the outsourced industry (high-end job though).

My questions: does my experience qualify as "international" and do my travels make a worthy difference to application?

Something about my background:
Indian/M/28/GMAT 750 (Q-51,V-40)
Work-ex 5yrs (sell/buy-side analyst)
current qualifications: CPA, CFA (both from US)

thanks in advance
