I get a lot of questions about MBA: its value, how to get into a top program, whether it beats a CFA. Too many people forget however to round out their entire profile. This includes demonstration of a ability to manage one's own finances.

Think about it. You're reading this forum because you want a job in finance: you want people to pay you to manage their money. But they won't do that if your own financial house isn't in order.

So while you're hanging out at gmatclub, don't forget the occasional time out from studying to pay attention to maintaining your payment schedules, reducing credit card balances, and frequently checking your credit report for errors.

Remember: FICO > GMAT.
