Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I understand that passing all three levels of the CFA is a significant accomplishment, but it really isn't going to make a huge impact on your MBA application if it doesn't fit into the puzzle. Getting your story right is more important, in my opinion. Perhaps the best approach, rather than exclude it or leave it in without speaking to it, would be to explain how it fits into your long-term career goals. luangm did that very well in his most recent response to me and I think he should build it into his future applications.

luangm, if you can get into Rotman, I'd say go for it.
Both of the big guys in T.O. are very selective for Canadian admissions and if you can get into either one, it's an incredible feat. Both have great international reputations and I think Rotman would be a good fit for you to figure out if you want to be in Marketing or Finance since their Marketing component is heavily finance based. I got into Rotman and chose Schulich instead just because Rotman's brand management courses were too finance-heavy, which I think would be right up your alley, and they have a ton of international opportunities (study tours, exchanges etc.). I wouldn't consider it "settling" at all.
I'm not sure if I'll be put on the burner for this comment, but I think us Canucks are really suffering this year as applicants because of what's going on in the economy. I think there is a huge bias to accepting Americans at USA schools over Canadians to try and rebuild - almost a buy American stance for applicants.
I think this age crap is BS. If you can sell yourself as a brand, you're in. Look at some of the best business leaders in the world today - age isn't a factor for them.
If you're desperate for an MBA, go for Rotman. It's a world-renowned school. And it doesn't hurt anything to apply.
If you're more interested in getting into a USA school (and I don't know why if you're looking to go to China), wait. One year is no skin off your ass.

I worked with an admissions consultant, and frankly, they're going to help you maybe 10%. I think of them like a coach. If you get a good one, they'll help develop your story. A coach won't ever make me a 6'6 basketball player. But they might help me define myself as the short but tenacious player. Or help me highlight other strengths.
For me, I needed that 10% boost. A few of the consultants offer a post-mortem -- so I'd highly recommend considering it if you're serious about putting together the best app you possibly can for next year. Good luck everybody.
