You just answered your own question
yuck. i just heard "legends" about some kids finish their level 1 in the freshman year. sound like bs.
Total BS. You can take the CFA Level 1 in your senior year but not as a freshman. Plus, once you've had all those finance & stat classes it'll be a lot easier.
go hang out with your friends or something man, have a beer (or two if your feeling froggy) , get some strange ass, who knows
^what he said
In my opinion you should not be thinking about the CFA now. You should spend your time getting A's, going out etc. Enjoy college!!
Check over the material once and a while, so come summer after 3rd year you can kill the June exam and have the level 1 heading into FT recruiting.
dude you're a freshman put the textbook down, go be social and enjoy college
if u r 18 u should be able to register. but u need a bachelors for lvl 2
A freshman wanting to become a qualified CFA? all I can say is "lol."
Jesus do you even have a drivers license
Kids these days, honestly. Actually your balls have to drop before you are allowed to register for L1.
Intercourse.
With a woman.
CFA ≡ not a legend
Love it.
I don't see anything wrong with this. You should in fact be promoting excellence and diligence instead of immaturity, tardiness, and mediocrity. It's his personal choice, instead of criticizing him hows about being constructive and giving him a legit answer. Students who achieve more earlier on create a higher bar for competition to reach and hence higher standards overall, are you intimidated?
MacMaster business majors REALLY intimidate me.
Your spelling skills make me shiver.
do you want to do banking? if so, your time would be better spent calling banks, networking, learning about valuation and modeling in excel, etc.
This is even more ridiculous than the kid who wanted to take GMAT in the last year of high school.
Honestly OP. This is something to consider once you're a junior in college at the earliest. You may end up hating finance, econ, etc... and switch career paths.
wow, what a dork how are you going to study? notes? Schweser i hear sucks.. someone suggested CFALevel1Videos.com
somehow videos are supposed to be better? maybe for tutoring purposes
peterexam,
Based on the 2 posts you've made so far about 'CFALevel1Videos.com', I'm compelled to think that you're one of those twats who are using forums to advertise your products. If i am right, you should screw off and stop spamming. If i'm wrong, my apologies.
Cheers
