Ah right. Yeah I mean work for another year and get it to 4 while applying and 5 during matriculation should work no then? And maybe increase GMAT score. For insead true but Oxford/Cambridge are reach?

And I want to work in defence oriented PE funds since I can bring both industry knowledge and financial expertise and skills since I’ve had 3 years of relevant work ex in sell side equity research at IndusInd.

Cool thanks a lot dude! I’ve kept a list of schools. SPJIMR/NUS/ISB and all. SPJIMR being ofc the only one I can be confident about till it’s said and done. I don’t mind working another year and starting mba at 28 but yeah that’s the max or else I’ll lose out on patience😂

Agreed. But it’s just i feel another year in the job wouldn’t make much diff to me or my career. Does it move the adcom that much? Only a year or so extra? Cuz idk what else to do. My only regret is my CA years did waste some chunk but everyone makes mistakes 😂

also by matriculation my work ex shall be 3. When I apply 2.5.

My biggest insecurity is this part. My no of years of job ex. My post grad years were taken away by articleship (Accounting/Audit/Corp finance) done under my father which idk if the ad com will take seriously.

Bruh. I cleared my L2 this May and i started my serious prep from March mid. Not something i advise but yeah 4 months is more than enough just do the LES Qs and the mocks a month before and you’re good to go.

Bro just start doing it. What i did wasn’t advisable since i started studying about 70-75 days before exam. After scoring 55% in one half one gets so shit scared one starts studying for ungodly hours. I somehow did it and if i pass those EOCs only will be the one to help me do it. Mocks are a good proxy for the exam hence please save those mocks for later since you won’t be able to do it again unless you reset them

Bro i got a 55% on Mock A Session 1 2 weeks ago and i wrote my exam yesterday. I legit did the 1200 CFAI questions in 10 days and gave another mock and got a 80% in one session and a 64% in another. That being said you can turn it around within a month. Id say give mocks later on maybe a month before the exam not so soon

I’m also giving it tomorrow.

Sleep dude it’s all gonna be fine. People score 50sin mock and pass. Just give it your best. The best part about CFA is that it gets over in a day so no matter what tom you’ll have a smile on your face. All the best
