CFA & MBA Admission

Chicago PMA, Booth or Kellog? Booth would be my dream PT program. From your post it sounds like they value the charterholder. Care to share with your your stats?

I’m going to Booth. I’m part of the Business Fellows program so have less work experience than most (check out their website for additional info on that, basically it’s a subset of the PT program for students with less than 3 years work exp, they take 25-30 a year). I went to a state school and majored in finance, 3.5 GPA, 690 GMAT, 27 months of work experience at matriculation, and at the time of application I was a level 2 candidate.

I am applying for the fellow program as well. Do you feel the program is more competitive compared to the regular PT program? How have your experience been so far? Thanks!

I would say the fellows program is slightly more competitive than the general program. There’s probably 90 applicants a year and the take less than 30. Overall I’ve really enjoyed my total experience. The fellows group is pretty close, there’s mostly cool people in the program, and the classes are top notch.
