Hi Guys,

I am an engineer with 7yrs of experience in IT. I am ambitious and want to have a growing career which is very limited in IT. I have interest in finance and planning to do an MBA.

Now my question is: Since I do not have any work experience in Finance, I am planning to do MBA with CMA or CFA options. Please suggest me if it will help me and also if I will be eligible for it or not.

Consider that my GMAT score is 680+. I am interested in either
Schulich or Laurier School of Business (Part time). Will I qualify for these?

Thanks

Greetings,

I would think carefully about the CFA. The MBA is already a huge committment and the degree is helpful for many different career tracks. If you are 100% sure of your career objectives and know that you need the CFA, than put yourself in position to obtain both.

In general, I recommend that people recognize that an MBA is a great time to consider all your career options. You may have a very different outlook at the end of the MBA than you do now.

Finally, great work on the GMAT! You should, with a properly positioned application, be able to get into one of your target schools. Please let us know if we can be of assistance. We offer a money back guarantee if you don't get in!

Best,

Jason

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
