How important is the language test for INEAD - non-native speaker planning to apply with a language I learned and tested on in college

Apart from English, entry language and exit language are critical parts of their application!

Second Deloitte. I know their entry language requirement is pretty strict.

I looked into the insead language requirement a few months ago. You need to have a B1 or B2 (decent intermediate knowledge) of one language and A2 (advanced beginner knowledge) of another, plus English. They seem to be strict on it and suggest that you place out of the B1/B2 requirement early. I studied French for 8+ years and according to a test I took online I was basically at the strong A1 level, so i jettisoned the idea of applying to insead after that.
