Hello everyone,
I believe my case is somewhat special, so I need a bit of guidance.
I am 31-year-old professional athlete (Serbian, male) with more than 13 years of experience in various teams in Serbia, United States, Spain and France. Additionally, I graduated with a Diploma in Sports and Physical Education after which I did Master in Nutrition and Dietetics. I do have plentz of playing, coaching and in general sport-related experience, yet almost none related to the specific field of business. In order to successfully transition my career after sport, I am looking to enroll into business school, hoping to focus on strategic management/ consulting afterwards.
My idea was to do a Master in Management in one of top European business schools, like HEC Paris, IE or ESADE. However, some of the admission staff that I talked to in these schools suggested that I skip this and do the MBA. I see pros and cons of both options. So, my key dillema is what would you advise me in this occasion, and only after can I start searching the right program.
I scored 110 on TOEFL and 740 on GMAT (51Q, 38V).
I am native in Serbian, fluent in English and Spanish and I have reading and basic speaking competence in French.
I thank you all in advence.
Marko
