CFA in MBA school application

Do MBA schools care at all if you passed Level I/II/III? Or do they just look at your GPA & GMAT? Anyone know?

Your first mistake was talking to people at UCLA.

Yeah. a LOT. The class profile is totally different, thus what they (admissions) are looking for is different as well!

Does it really matter if it is an EMBA or MBA?

Thanks mansoor. IMO though, that's very specific for EMBA AND LBS... Most american schools for a full time normal MBA do care about the whole thing: GPA, GMAT, CFA, Work Exp, Essays, Recommendations, every piece of the puzzle...

Rasec, is there a way to contact GW? Can't seem to find him in the forum though.

Wonder if there's anyone here who got into one of the better biz schools with a low GPA?

I hear your GPA matters less and less the further out you are. I'm hoping this is true, but not counting on it.

CFA > Hotties> MBA > CPA> CFP

I had a conversation with UCLA about MBA admissions and the two most important factors they look at to weed out candidates are: GMAT + GPA!

I asked about the CFA, hoping that an admissions officer would consider passing all 3 levels and boost my chances of being admitted with a very low GPA! He replied saying "You must have a 3.0 GPA to even be considered, it doesn't matter that you are a Chartered Financial Analyst.

CFA = a small boost if you GPA is >=3.0
