Finance Student (Senior Undergrad) - Minnesota

Hello everyone,

Hope all you awesome folks are finding success, riches, and all the good things in life.

I'm finishing up my last semester at a good Business school here in the twin cities, and wanted to introduce myself to this forum.
As always, i would appreciate any advice that you wished someone had given you during college.

I've currently taken all my required finance courses, and will be signing up for the CFA Level 1 for June 2015. Being just a Finance major, my professors advised me to take more accounting classes for the exam, so i'll be taking an additional accounting - Intermediate II accounting this fall. I would like your opinion on what other classes would further benefit me for this beast of an exam. I already had the following classes- Intro to Fin.Mgmt,Investments, Corp Finance, Security Portfolio Mgmt, Strategic Finance, and Derivatives.

Thank guys,
Jay
