You want top MBAs in Asia. Based on FT rankings, that'll be:
1) Insead
2) Hong Kong UST
3) Indian Institute of Management
4) Indian School of Business
5)
NUS
6)
NTU
I suppose you're only looking at Insead?

At top MBA schools, your undergraduate results and GMAT score isn't going to be a major differentiator. I mean, what's the big diff between 600 and 800? International exposure, closing business deals and finance sparks ain't going to get the school excited about you either. These factors are given. I reckon that at least 70% of the applicants have this profile.
What can set you apart may be your charity works. Show that you are a socially responsible and driven person, in addition to be a motivated finance person wannabe.
