I’m currently working full-time in the BO going for my MBA part-time and was contemplating doing the CFA also. My undergrad and grad background is Investments and Corporate Finance so Level 1 wouldn’t be too bad as you say. During the year I usually get stressed out a couple of times each semester with the work/school workload at times so for me the CFA would be an additional burden. Saying that I would say I have a pretty fun social life (go out a couple night a week) so a good work/school/life balance is key for me. When I graduate next year i think i’ll worry more about the CFA if at all. So is it do able? Of Course man. Would the girl seem neglected at times? Probably . In my eyes keeping the life balanced keeps me sain.

Please substitute ‘December’ with June 2009.
Remember, approximately 34% pass Level 1. I wouldn’t assume that Level 1 is in the bag just yet…

Hey Everyone, I know this is a ten year old thread…I wanted to see if anyone actually completed the CFA and their Master’s Degree at the same time. I am planning on doing this soon and was interested to see if anyone was able to follow through. Thank you for your time
I wrote and passed LI just before going back to college. While there, I passed LII, but had a rough time trying to balance course work and LIII. It wasn’t until after I graduated that I finally passed it
I think L1 is manageable as long as you have an accounting background. I did the same and my ex-girl friend did the same.
