Taking the CFA Level 2 Exam right after college graduation? college, possible, across, thread

Is it possible? I think I ran across a thread on here that stated that you could petition to take the CFA Level 2 right after graduation? Is this true? Would in make sense to take Level 1 in June before senior year, or during December of your senior year, if it's true? Thanks for the help.

Hi dude. You need to graduate from college before signing up for CFA L2. The deadline for CFA L2 registration is in March, so if you have a spring/summer graduation date, you will likely miss the L2 registration cutoff for the year of your graduation. Otherwise, if you can make the schedule work, then why not.

I considered taking L1 in college, but decided that advanced college classes were of much higher quality, and therefore more worthy of a graduating student's time - particularly since this might be the last opportunity for you to take any college classes. However, if you really believe that passing L1 before graduating will be beneficial to you, then go for it.

I don't buy the "enjoy senior year" philosophy. How many washed up AF people post here that they wish they studied harder in college?
