The Role of CFA Level 2 in MBA Admission

Hi, ladies and gentlemen,

My post-MBA goal is to break into IB. Note that I live outside the U.S. and have never had IB experience. I currently work in the internal M&A team of a regional corporation in the energy sector. I want to pass CFA Level 2 to strengthen my application. However, the downside is that it requires a significant time commitment and would delay my MBA application by around 1–2 years.

What do you think? Is the additional boost from CFA Level 2 worth the 1–2 years of delay? I am aiming for T15 schools (target and semi-target). I know that the GMAT score, academic background, essays, work experience, and recommendations are more important, but I would like to hear your thoughts on this matter.

Thank you in advance.

Should I pass CFA Level 2 pre-MBA?
