[QUOTE="jacobmathewin, post: 292739, member: 46600"] Hello dear members! 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 Finance etc. 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: [B]Should I wait until end of January before submitting my applications, hoping that CFA L2 would add weight to my application? [/B] 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! [/QUOTE]
