Hello Revul, CFA is a good certification to have in your investing career, but it will not add much value in your MBA application .

There has been a lot of discussion here about ranking of b-schools. As an admissions consultant, we have helped hundreds of applicants make a choice about the b-schools where they should apply.

Your past 3 scores have been consistent and I would not place my bet on a higher GMAT score when your next few months are anyways going to be split between work, applications and other commitments, and in all likelihood you will not h...
