CFA Level One In College

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if it is beneficial to take the CFA level one in college. I want to go into PE and will be interning for a BB next summer 2021. I was thinking about taking the CFA level one to add to my overall resume. Would this help me when it comes to PE recruitment or just help in general?
