CFA as an addon to an MBA application

by nilanjan.123 » Thu Dec 23, 2010 4:40 am

Hi,

I am Nilanjan ..I have an Engineering degree with a major in Eletrical Engineering..I have a GMAT score of 750 with 4 yrs of work ex(at the time of matriculation) in a fortune 15 company..I work in the field of media marketing research and analytics for an IT company and want to pursue an MBA in MArketing from a top 20 US school..i wanted to give the CFA level 1 exam in order to strengthen my MBA application..i understand that the CFA program is mostly directed towards a career in finance but i felt it would be important for me as i want to understand the technical aspects of finance in addition to the bigger picture gained through an MBA so that i can fulfill my long term goal of setting up a marketing firm of my own.

I would like to know your views on whether the CFA level 1 exam would help in strengthening my application profile..

Thanks a lot
Nilanjan

Hello, Nilanjan,

If you present insightful points about how and why the CFA would benefit you in your goals, then it would certainly be a plus.

"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."
