You've got lesser work experience that a lot of people who apply, but there's a general trend for all business schools to accept younger people (right after school even). Stanford GSB & HBS are pushing for this trend.

That said, IT experience varies quite a bit. And in the end this is a marketing exercise... If you've got the great writing skills and the ability to make a strong case you should have a good chance.

I have a similar profile as your's and I got an interview call in R2 Sept 2008

Work ex : 3.7 yrs - 3.2 yrs in pure software development in a global MNC. But have interacted with people from US,UK and a lot from Australia .
6 months as a Lead Functional Consultant ( only international work ex is 6 mths in UAE )
Have interacted with people from Pakistan, UAE, Oman and Sri Lanka
Have taken responsibilities apart from my workplace like working on new business models

Acads: top 10% in my class
Extra curr: have been involved in a lot of clubs in college, associated with an NGO , have been part of a volunteer group in my org, have formed a new Employee club in my current org.

Kindly post ur views on my profile. Since Insead doesn't encourage re-applicants, I request all of you to suggest whether I should be applying now or in the next batch. Though I am confident that this is the right time for me to move ahead for my MBA.

Regards
Kunal

To whatever I have read in the blogs;forums;threads about Insead... The experience seems to be low; Otherwise stellar profile and experience. If you can come up with good essay about your accomplishement and career journey. In my view you have a great chance.

Having another year of experience will just add icing to the cake.

Let me attempt one more time.

Hopefully INSEAD hopefuls will invest the time to share the information.

Anyone who has applied for INSEAD R4 sept 2008 intake?
