Hi, guys!
I woud like to hear from you guys it is possible for me with such background and professional experience to get into one of the top MBA school.
A couple of words about myself: I 'm 25 years old, live in Russia, Moscow; have BS in Economics. I finished my professional soccer career 3 years ago because of some hronic injuries. After that I decided to stay in such a profeessional area and was accepted into some MS Sports Management Programs (UK and Spain; IELTS result was 6.5), but I didn't go to study because I didn't receive scholarship. After that I changed my priorities and started working as a Project Manager (health and recreational management; training center (invite international business speakers to Russia); planning and organization of large business events). Today I work in a World Trade Center, Moscow. Besides that I have little experience in entrepreneurship (small catering company that provides food and service on sports events).
Today, I feel that I would like to move forward and apply at MBA Program in USA (concentration in Finance). However, I'm not confident that my profile is good for MBA schools and have any chances to be accepted at top MBA school (I don't know my GPA but finished one of the top Russian universities with grades - good and perfect; my previous TOEFL result was 93) because I see most successful applicants are from IT, consulting, or banking (investment banking sphere) and work in top 5-10 companies of their countries.
I hope you can give me great advice!
P.S. In summer I started my preparation for GMAT and registered for E-gmat.com but I gave up (I think the course is well-constucted but my fluency of reading is not good, and I don't clearly understand the accent of some E-gmat instructors). As a result, today I lost my inspiration (I know it's not good) and only read The Economist and make some TOEFL exercises in order to suport my current English level.
Kind regards,
Nikolay

Don't give up! Sounds like you've made great use of your time and resources. Definitely don't feel like your candidacy is any weaker just because you've had a non-traditional background. If you know what your career goals are, that should hopefully drive you and motivate you to keep working on it.
Good luck!

Nikolay,
Well you have a really interesting profile. So my advice: just keep hacking away at the GMAT and TOEFL. Find out what works best for you.. I mean there's no real secret sauce here - everybody's got their own method, but what really works is perseverance and hard work.
Since you are young, you have pleeeenty of time to ace those tests, so take your time, and only take them when you are at the top of your game,
Best,
JF
