Sorry.

How about in general...? You graduated from there, correct?

I did.

In 1980, and again in 1983.

If I ever knew what the entrance requirements were, that knowledge is long gone.

Sorry.

(I do need to talk to some people in the Finance department there; maybe I'll pop in next week.)

Magician, long time no see. Hope all's well.

Cramming thru the videos on L2 right now. Really didn't put enough time into the exam this round, but I'm hoping I will fill in the gaps when I work thru all the problems starting tomorrow afternoon. Still got Deriv 2 and PM videos to go through.

See you in L3 next year...hopefully.

Were you able to get a hold of the professors/deans at the Finance department at Fullerton, magician? Or have any advice as to whom I could contact?

Also,

I've been profiling small investment banks around the country. It seems most of the CFO's or top.. how do you call it? traders? either have a CFA or an MBA AND CFA (some are sitting for L2 or L3 though).

So maybe I should still go the CFA route, along with an MBA?
