Totally agree.
In 2009, the pass rate for CA exams was 7.86% across all of India. Makes the CFA look like a cake-walk in comparison.

I think you guys will find that CFAs are a lot more realistic and humble about what the charter means and what it doesn't mean than this thread lets on. The people who probably respect the CFA the most are those who failed level 1 and quit the program. Anyone who hasn't taken the test or isn't in finance couldn’t probably care less about it. Anyone who has the charter respects those with it, but doesn't worship them by any stretch. The fact of the matter is that the CFA is a very rigorous serious of exams that pretty much proves an individual with one knows the first thing about finance. It should be enough to at least get your foot in the door of a lot of places, but doesn’t mean you’re suddenly a money-making machine just because you could pass a few tests. It just means you’re generally aware of the myriad concepts and tools present in the narrow finance field of investment management.
I think to the extent that a CFA will help you in MBA admissions is the extent to which it will help you in post-MBA recruiting, or rather more accurately how much the adcoms perceive it to help you. If the adcoms think that you’ll be better positioned to get a job and therefore help their career statistics over someone else without a CFA, it may help. If they think that the particular field or post-MBA goal you have is such that it won’t really help, then the adcoms probably won’t care. So basically a CFA’s worth is how much the adcoms think that your potential employers will value the charter in the industry you say you’re going to attend (which may be different in actuality once you get to b-school) – clearly a lot of variables to consider and why the CFA is not an automatic ticket-puncher to anywhere.
