INSEAD brief profile review and advice
GRE:335 (V169, Q166, AWA 5.0)
I am a 29M Australian (Chinese background). 5 year working experience as a medical doctor in Australia, graduate of University of Melbourne (rank 14th in QS ranking), currently working as psychiatry resident in a major metropolitan hospital.
Leadership:
- night doctor in charge for an understaffed rural hospital emergency department during the latter stage of COVID
- church youth group leader
Extracurriculars
- started a small education enterprise that gives consultation to medical school application and admission tests preparation
- during uni volunteer English teacher in rural china and medical volunteering in India, 1 month placement at a respiratory unit in a hospital in Finland (although these were 5-6 years ago now)
Any advice and feedback ? Any recommendations for any admissions consultant? Hoping to apply for August 2025 intake (by then I will be 30 hopefully not too late)

Your work experience/stats/ECs are impressive and I believe you would have a good shot especially applying with an Australian passport.
Two things INSEAD continually quizzes you on: 1. Global experiences 2. Leadership. So you will need to incorporate those into your essays/interviews etc.
Additionally, I would be ready to explain why you don't want to be a doctor anymore or how an MBA fits in with being a doctor. I have a few friends who did MD/MBAs, so I think it is more commonplace now but have a solid story.
INSEAD is an intensive program, 1 year+ so I would be ready to demonstrate that you can manage coursework and recruiting especially if you don't have a business degree. I don't imagine you having any issues with the coursework but be prepared to speak about it.

Hey raychan0318,
I am Priyanka, Client Manager at ARINGO. Your profile looks good on the surface. Your GRE score is strong, particularly with that impressive verbal score. Being a 29-year-old Australian doctor with a Chinese background brings a unique and valuable perspective to the applicant pool.
INSEAD highly values leadership and managing an understaffed rural hospital emergency department during COVID is a fantastic example. This showcases your composure, critical thinking, and ability to lead under pressure. The church youth group leader role adds another dimension, highlighting your ability to inspire and guide others.
The extracurricular activities are well-rounded. Starting your own medical education consultancy demonstrates initiative and entrepreneurial spirit. While the volunteer experiences might be a few years back, they still speak to your global perspective and commitment to giving back. Your age is absolutely no disadvantage – INSEAD programs thrive on experienced professionals.
Overall, you've got a strong foundation for an INSEAD application. However, to provide the most specific advice and help you develop a targeted strategy, we'd love to delve a bit deeper into your profile. There might be additional awards, publications, or projects that could further strengthen your application.

Good Luck!
