I request your advice.I am applying for MS Quant Finance courses - specifically,- Oxford M Sc Mathematical and Computational Finance- LBS Master of Financial Analysis- LSE MSc Finance- Warwick Math Financeetc.My profile: - Passed CFA L1, - GMAT 700, - engineering background, - no experience in Finance industry, - Undergrad: First Class, - Graduate school (MS in Engineering = 3.65 GPA). I realize that the top schools would be a long shot for me, but I am applying to easier ones as well such as Edinburgh and Manchester.Most applications start in Oct, 2021 for Sep 2022 intake. My CFA Level 2 exam falls on Nov 28th, and results would be out by end of January 2022 only!MY QUESTION: Should I wait until end of January before submitting my applications, hoping that CFA L2 would add weight to my application? If I fail the exam, I would have lost the early application advantage. If I pass the exam, would my chances of admission improve?Please share your thoughts!</blockquote>
