Anyone attempting/attempted a PT MBA + CFA?

I'm currently studying for level II and find it way more demanding than Level I. I'm considering doing Part-time MBA and studying for Level III at the same time and that seems scary at this point.

Sounds pretty painful.

3underscore,

I know there's gotta be at least a handful of FT Stern students sitting for CFA. Do you know of any, and if so, how they've handled it?

I'm thinking as a part-timer, there would be significantly less overlap since part-timers are only taking 2 classes at a time.

The MBA1s I knew trying to do this all blew off the exam in the fall. I think they might try next set of exams. I would really think it might be more possible in the second year, when the pressure is off a little more. From what I have read of people trying to combine, they would most likely get to having level II on completing and work on the final exam when in a job (the dirty canuck at Chicago found this the solution).

A lot of it is best intents and whatnot. I would also add that if you are not going into buy side or analyst roles, no-one seems to care about it. If I could see a good reason to do it I would, but I honestly feel like I am hunting reasons to do the exams.

As for my Treasurers exams, they are a UK designation anyway. I might just finish it off (I have a Corp Finance and Liquidity exam, which by the fall I should pass without even studying!).

I should add that I really think doing an MBA part time is a big enough eat of your life as it is. Anyone I know who has done them found they didn't have any time as it stood.

Im goin for it. I want to get CFA II by the time I get into Langone (if I get in). I can't imagine starting the CFA and doing PT and going to work. Thatd be very tough.

Do you already have level I? Or will you sit for it in June and go for level II in Dec?

Nah no CFA I yet. I dont want to go to langone til fall 09 or even spring 2010.

Thank you for interesting information.
