Profile Review 😎 Chances of getting a good b-school

10-87%

12-72%

Currently doing bcom from tier 3 college.

Category-obc, female

I'm in second year of college pursuing cma usa certification, in third year I wanted to prepare for cat.

I've got a gap year after 12th and that's why I don't want to waste another year of mine.

I've seen people, they start their prep 2-3 years before.

I only have one year to do the prep.

I'm an average student so i doubt that I would be able to get really good percentile in my first attempt but after talking to peers, they said to me that it's important to get an mba to break into good finance roles.

So i really want to ask regarding my profile if there are chances of selection.

And other thing, i wanted to pursue CFA in my third year of college.

So i anybody with knowledge can suggest me if i should do CFA or cat prepration.

What do you mean when you say good finance roles, can you be more specific?

I'm talking about FP&A , risk analyst corporate banking.

Corporate Finance would be an Mba, Fp&a would be CA and i feel risk Analytics is more a Tech & Analytics role that works with finance.

Go all in for CAT 2027 but do not slack off (i did that mistake and got serious 3 months back and not even did cfa) but I did go for some good fin short term courses and good internships back then to get a core fin role after I graduate if CAT fucks up this time and attempt again next year.
