I've been hearing talk about kids securing higher level certifications for college acceptance, if you're exclusively seeking the Finance route with the first leg in IBD, what would be priority and do-able certifications to show Wharton you're completely serious about it?
CFA, PRM, FRM, CFP, CFS, CIC, ChFC, CIMA, CMT, CPA, PFS, CLU?
Which? Obviously doing the official 2013 certifications to the current microsoft office suite is easy (Excel, Outlook, Word, Presentation)
OP you honestly need CFA level 3 minimum to get into Wharton or at least Actuary lvl 6.
kids these days...at the end of the tunnel it still is "all for naught"
Dude, what is up with all of these scenario posts you keep making? Since you say "college" and not "business school", I assume that you are talking about undergraduate. How on Earth would a high school student posses any of those certifications?
dude. just for some perspective, i work in PE and i dont even have any of those or have even attempted to get one of those certifications.
go enjoy the swing set...
I see, so it's prob not a good idea at a undergrad/grad level to do these. Thank you.
to be honest, it wont obviously hurt you. but im saying when your at the stage of getting "that" job, being personable is more important. any monkey can learn to model.
Wow guys, I'm not asking to tackle the Actuary or anything crazy; I'm simply asking about if it's do-able and possible to complete one of those, no need to light up the torches.
You need to be in your last year of study to register for the CFA I and need to have graduate to register for the CFA II. I took the CFP my Junior year undergraduate and it was hell with studying, school work, and a part time job.
Chill - you don't need certifications for undergraduate
