Get into Berkley first. After that, you'll get by without SATs.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

I disagree.

SAT is really easy. I would commit 5-8 weeks to study it, and get at least a 2100 - 2300 score. In this economy, even a minute detail like that to stand out even a little would make a difference to help you get a first round interview.

You should also work on CFA Level 1, if you get it before your recruitment season for SA class, you will have a huge advantage + Berkeley.
