Hello,
I've a very specific question. I've passed CFA Level 2 and I'm currently working as an equity research analyst but looking to switch to Consulting post-MBA. Do you think mentioning CFA Level 2 on my application can have negative implications? Do you think it would make more sense to the admission committee if I stick to finance career post-MBA since I have done CFA Level 2?
Thanks

Firstly, you should always mention a credential as strong as CFA---that's every bit as difficult as MBA level coursework and will demonstrate aptitude for b-school. Whether or not you seek a finance career after you graduate, you will be able to leverage the CFA. Your question actually also begs an additional question I believe you are also asking, which is, will it look odd to the adcom to have these solid financial career credentials and then seek an alternative path? The key here will be in weaving a narrative around the choices you have made in your career, and what you have learned from finance which indicates you will be better suited for consulting. If you can compellingly woo the committee with a story that sounds intentional and points you towards your future vision, you will certainly get some positive attention.

Thank you so much for your reply Bryant. Its not like I've completely dropped the finance career path, its just that I'm more leaned towards consulting. Both Finance and Consulting provide excellent career opportunities in the long-run. Consulting would be the first choice but I've also worked on a back-up option, which is finance. In fact schools often ask for a back up option. From the expert opinions that I have gathered so far it looks like I'm better off sticking to finance as a post-mba career path as its a more obvious choice and will make my application stronger keeping in mind my CFA credentials.
