Hi All,
I received my undergrad in Accounting and Finance 4 years ago and then dived immediately into an MSc in Finance from Imperial College in London. After graduating i started working as a risk analyst for an asset manager and moved to one of the biggest US asset managers in London 6 months ago, still as a risk analyst. I have been also pursuing the CFA which i thought would help me in my career and i am almost done with it.
My question is this: I want to move to the US and work in Investment Banking. The only way to do that is through an MBA in the top US MBA Business schools. Do you think my profile would be disadvantaged by my credentials, neutral or actually these could benefit me?
Thank you very much.

Hi, CFA would give a boost to your profile. Additional qualification is always an added advantage in the MBA application pool. All the best.

Hey onedaypm,
Well considering the fact that all your academic and professional endeavors have till date been directed towards the field of Finance, it is safe to say that this aspect in your profile will surely play in your favor and actually benefit you. Assuming that you have 4 years of relevant work experience under your belt, which is the average work experience for pursuing an MBA, I clearly see no hassles in getting admitted into a reputed MBA program. In fact, having CFA, you made the right choice as it will definitely give a boost to your profile and increase your chance of admittance as this very certificate coupled with your goal-oriented efforts would set you apart from the crowd.
However, since you’ve mentioned that you wish to target top B-school, I must say that they consider much more than just good grades and professional experiences, as these days schools are on the lookout for holistically groomed profiles. That said, the extent of your extracurricular activities would also help you get an upper hand at admission. Apart from this, your school brand, GPA, and GMAT score also play an active role in weighing down the scale of admittance.
Since you haven’t provided me any details related to the above-mentioned aspects, I cannot really comment on the true colors of succeeding in this scenario.
It would be great if you could get back with the details of your profile so I could provide you with genuine feedback.
Apart from this, you can get an idea of the schools you can target according to your profile by simply leveraging a free profile evaluation tool, the link to which I’m attaching below -

This will provide you insights into your profile strengths and weaknesses, giving you a clear idea of where you stand against your competition at the moment.
Hope this helped!
