HELLO,
I SCORED 680 IN GMAT. I AM A PRO TABLE TENNIS PLAYER. HAVE REPRESENTED INDIAN TEAM AT VARIOUS LEVELS AND HAVE WORK EXP OF 7 YEARS.
CAN ANYONE SUGGEST WHICH SCHOOLS I SHOULD APPLY TO ?

More about my profile:-
1)To Sum up in Sports field:-

Represented India in Table Tennis.
world Railways champion 2010 ( Singles event)
Led Indian Railways team to its first ever Team Gold in the world Railways championships , Russia 2010.
won gold medal in south Asian Junior Team Championships-05.
Trained under Chinese coach from the age of 10.
Indian Table Tennis Team Probables for the commonwealth games 2010 and trained under then Indian Coach Massimo Constantitni from Italy for the same.
Played Super League in Table tennis in Serbia for club named Red Star Belgrade and secured second position in the league.
Have won many medals at national level in various categories.
National Child Award from Vice president of India -2002 for Exceptional achievement in field of sports.

2) Professional exp:
*worked as Senior Ticket Examiner in Indian Railways. Had a lot of experience in field of Public management while working in Railways.
*Currently working as an Auditor under Comptroller and Auditor General of India. As we are prohibited from explaining our work profile on internet, so i can just say that we scrutinize the Government's management of Funds used for development.

3)Other experience :-
*i am guiding youngsters for last few years in a Table tennis club, where the players are trained free of cost and are not require to pay any sort of fees. The club has been such for last 50 years or so. and it is producing many good level players.

4)Preference of Geographical Location :-
* i am ok with any Location. i have travelled across many countries and have lived out of my home since i was 10.But if i am asked for a an option, i would prefer Europe . But still, i am quiet alright with the location , as long as i get admission in a Good university.

5)Goals:
I have worked in and have gained bit of experience in multiple fields.
Personally Table Tennis, and sports as a whole is my passion. Also General management is what interests me, as i manage young athletes from my club.
In a country like India , where a sportsman gets money only after he/she wins a medal at a recognised level but no one cares how the same athlete has struggled to achieve such heights, without sponsors, money , equipment etc. Many of such aspiring and talented sportsmen abandon the game due the lack of necessary support. So my goal has a mix of Sports and Management, but not to confuse it with sports management. In India , only Sports management does not work. One has to deal with many-many fields simultaneously. In sum , i want to make sports cheaper and more available for young aspirants of India.
So, can u please give me some advice regarding how and which schools to target and how to go about it ?
Thanks and Regards

Well, I think what you have going for you is uniqueness. You have a unique profile and a unique story. And what you wrote about your goal: "In sum , i want to make sports cheaper and more available for young aspirants of India. " sounds great. The question is HOW will you do this? By founding a firm? which does what? By joining a firm? in what position? By getting some government job? By founding a non-profit?

Anyhow, whatever you do, there are schools who do have Sport MBAs out there: https://www.business.gwu.edu/sportmba/ (among many), but you may find that you are more interested in doing a non-profit MBA, which is a different category.

Now this type of MBA, even if you prefer to live in Europe, is much more prevalent in the US, and frankly the US is much stronger both in Sports Management and Non-profit.

With a 680 and a passionate story, you should certainly have chances at schools in the top 50.

Hope this helps!
