Hi!
In which university do I have real chances?
Male, 24 yo, Austria
Education: Vienna business school (FT-Ranking No. 34 in Europe) in Business studies (BSc) and business law (LLB).
Before university I went to a technical school, maybe also not bad. I had an exchange semester in McCombs.
GPA: 1,5 (BSc); 1,9 (LLB) [1-5, 1 being best, top1% in both studies]
GMAT: 730
Experiences: several internships: some technical, some law, some business - one abroad internship in Bukarest for the biggest Austrian company(oil/petrol) - 20% market share in Europe; 2 years Consulting one of BCG/McKinsey...
Extracurriculars: My biggest weakness... I used to play soccer and volleyball, where i won federal championships - but in a small federal state, I also participate in a volunteer firebrigade.
Would be great to hear something about my chances to getting admitted in a US B-school or maybe London Business school(only b-school in Europe I'm interested in). I don't really know yet which schools fit my profile best. Maybe you could help me out a bit.

As long as the soccer and volleyball activities were during college, then they will still be relevant for you and should help demonstrate your community activism. This plus your consulting experience will put you in the running for the top 20 programs, yes. Also, if you are playing these sports in your spare time with friends or in an adult league, this too shows your active involvement and teamwork abilities.
In your applications, be sure to eliminate this tone of denigrating your experience so that your true knowledge and contributions can be gauged.
