Without hesitation approach the bank, most

There are few private foundations which provide scholarships like Tata groups, and some other foundations, with minimal interest. But, ultimately how are u going to contribute back to them as well as society needs to be well addressed. So, u can always knock doors, but, if ur lucky enough and the creator is kind upon u, you might something soon. Good luck

Hi, can anyone please elaborate a bit on how much value does CFA certification add for MBA applications?
Say for HBS
A chartholder clearing three levels of CFA will exempt from writing standardized test from Virginia Darden and Rotman Business schools.
That is the kind of weightage CFA holds.

Yet the moment IB and consulting applications open, the same box appears: ‘Standardized test taken? Please submit valid score.’

You simply No. I don't think that standardized test is required to apply to McKinsey, and MBB.They de-emphazize and de-proritize test score.

Yet they still ask it as a required parameter whenever one applies
So, assuming a Darden MBA graduate without GMAT will have no chance to work in Investment Banking?

No one is saying they’ll have no chance. The point is different. GMAT is one of the few common benchmarks applicants share. When some people spend months preparing and others bypass it through waivers it weakens that signal. Encouraging the test isn’t about blocking anyone
it’s about keeping the playing field comparable

I get that as an admissions consultant it’s convenient for u to amplify GMAT anxiety as that’s where many clients come from. But beyond the business side there’s also a responsibility to guide innocent applicants toward better good.
Let us be guiding.
