One step at a time, young man.

If you want to get into a top MBA program, you are better off spending all those hundreds of hours you would have been studying over the next two years for the CFA broadening your resume by volunteering, getting involved in your community, and soaking up the learning and networking from your current position. You can easily pick up the CFA again in a few years if it matters to you and your career post-MBA.

In my opinion, if you want to enter the consulting industry, you should NOT take the CFA exam. CFA is mostly irrelevant with the consultant. For all the consultants I have met (more than a dozen), NONE of them has CFA.

My advice is try to get into the top 10 Business School (in US or in Europe). To my knowledge, studying in a prestigious business school and working for some consulting firm in summer is the fastest shortcut to enter the consulting industry. Or, you have to be very lucky to be hired after the university (cases are very rare). Believe it or not, most consultants I've known want to switch to other industries.
