I am an Indian male, aged 30 years. My GMAT score is 670 (Q48 V34).
I am a Chartered Accountant (CPA equivalent ) and a CFA.
I have 7 years of professional work experience, 3 years in Finance (International Operations) and 4 years in Management Consulting. I am currently working with Accenture. I have delivered large scale transformation projects and have been consistently rated high in my organisation.
As part of my extra co-curriculars I do long distance running - Marathons and play a musical instrument - Sitar. I am comfortable with 2 foreign languages, which I have learnt as a hobby.
I plan to pursue my MBA at INSEAD in their Jan'24 intake and would like to evaluate my chances considering my profile and score. My critical question is whether strong letters of recommendation with my additional professional qualification can help improve my chances with 670 score.

Hi Karan0912 hope this finds you well.
While I understand that my response may not be what you were hoping for, it's important to note that your GMAT score, particularly your Quant score, is slightly lower for your demographic. If it all comes down to stats at the end (for example if there are other CAs, CFAs and consultants in competition), your GMAT could impact the decision. But there is still hope as I have seen instances of Indians being accepted into INSEAD with sub-700 scores, those who have standout profiles, such as graduating from prestigious institutions like IIT and having full-time international exposure.
I would strongly advise you to set up a one-on-one meeting with the admissions office rep. This will allow you to present yourself impressively and get a read into any concerns you may have. Your CA and CFA certifications are definite strengths that you should highlight, as they contribute to your overall academic background and can help you navigate the competitive landscape.
Regardless of your GMAT score, exceptional Letters of Recommendation (LORs) will be crucial in your application.
Best wishes
