I'm pretty much set on getting an MBA at some point, but want to get work experience first because from what I've been told speaking with others an MBA without work experience is worthless. If I wanted to increase my chances of getting into business school, is the school/GPA you graduated from as important as the work experience you had? My GPA is good, but my school isn't in the US so I'm a bit worried as to how credible they'll find it as I want to do my MBA there. I'm not worried about the GMATs either, I think I can do well on those, and as for recommendations and getting into a good company I can handle that. Basically did I screw myself by not going to the best of schools?

Thanks for those answers, very reassuring. I live in the Middle East so when companies are recruiting from within the country they often don't have MBAs yet, having one would put me in a really good position since they'd rather hire me than find an MBA from the US or England to hire.

Is there a thread for CFA questions or can I ask here? I'm taking Level 1 in June and was wondering about people's experiences, suggestions, etcFiesty Francis posted:I've completed the 3 levels of the CFA. I didn't find the program that difficult, but I studied my rear end off for it. Given the relatively low pass rates, it seems most people underestimate the effort required.

That's reassuring, I definitely will study for it but after hearing loads of (unprepared, mostly) people I know fail it And then hearing how much there was to study I was beginning to panic. Level 2 I would definitely start studying far in advance for - I haven't even completed a year of employment yet so I'm in no rush to take it as soon as possible, I know you can't get the actual certification without enough work experience.
