I work full-time, I am in a part-time MBA program, passed level I in June, and signed up for Level II. My wife is probably about ready to kill me.
I’m doing an MBA full-time. Its actually a specific CFA/MBA program combination, where the first two years you do classes for each CFA topic, with some MBA classes, and the third year, mostly MBA classes. It’s a niche thing, and more focused on Finance, so its an MBA in Investment Management…its also a CFA Partner, so I guess its not bad. I find it actually excellent, as you really get drilled on the CFA curriculum, and have 9 months preparation with midterms and finals, etc
i will do an mba and CFA because i am too dumb to become a surgeon

the worst ghetto on earth is no match for a stadium full of rabid cornhusker fans. speaking of rabies. i’m thinking of starting an annual 5k race to support the cause. what do you say?
Back on the forum after 2 months! I too am applying to MBA this year. 2006: GMAT is the hardest test I ever studied! 2007 (Jan): CFA is 10x harder than the GMAT! 2007 (Sept): I’d rather take the CFA than writing essays Life just ain’t easy, is it.
well what did u get on the GMAT, i studied for L1 and i thought it was hard, now i am aiming for 750 on GMAT and CR is hard for me.
I aimed for 800 and barely broke 700. They’re 2 really different tests though- the GMAT tests aptitude and the CFA tests discipline.
The GMAT stuff can be learned if you have discipline. I only have discipline for the CFA though.

Think about me and you will feel better. In 2003, I had to write GRE which is much tougher than GMAT as it has a complicated word list in vocab section. I also had to take TOEFL coz i was from a ‘foreign’ land, even though English is the medium of instruction from where I am and is also the 1st language… during my MS i had to write 6 sections of ELPE (English language proficiency examination) which is required by any candidate who wishes to become a Teaching Instructor/ Assistant. in 2006 i wrote GMAT, in 2007 i wrote CFA level I and now i am writing these essays…next yr il write level II also…i fine though…i just bite people who stand too close to me 
all this with a full time gf…! but luckily i cleared all exams with percentiles of 97 or higher…GMAT was 98…so thats a consolation atleast…

full time gf? is that what its called these days?
gz2nyc, how long had you been studying for GMAT? I am taking GMAT in 2 month or so. I took GRE several years ago. I am from asia and as i remember I worked my butts off at that time. GRE is the toughest exam I’ve had in my life so far.
Hey AFJunkie, You doing your MBA at University of Calgary?
Rong19: I started in January, took a Princeton Review course that ended in April, then self-studied for 1.5 month. I used OG7 for practice and gmatclub forum for support.
“full time gf? is that what its called these days?” full-time gf’s are becoming a rarity, clarification is necessary.
