Just to provide you with some general background about myself here is my information:
GPA-- 3.2 (BS in Finance & Operations Management) top 20 UG Biz School, also completed in 2 years.
GMAT-- 750
Professional-- 4.5 years of consulting experience with a major technology services firm
So in order to help address my slightly weak GPA, I since graduation from UG I have pursued and successfully completed the CFA exams( charter is pending work experience). While working i actively attempted to find a position in Financial Services but given the economic conditions the right opportunity did not present itself. So using an MBA as a platform I would like to move towards the IB, Research, PE, Asset Management Arena.
Target Schools: Booth, Kellog,NYU, UMich, UCLA, UT-Austin, Tuck
My question is how much will the CFA help build my profile up in the minds of admissions consultants, specially since i have not completed the charter due to the lack of applicable work experience.
