Just passing CFA Level 1 isn’t usually enough by itself to get a GMAT waiver, but it can still add weight to your overall case.
• CFA Level II or III is preferred, but Level 1 can help if supported by relevant experience like preparing monthly budget forecasts, building cash flow models, or working in credit or risk analysis.
• Academic support helps, mention if you scored 75% or above in subjects like corporate finance, econometrics, or business statistics.
• For verbal reasoning, include examples like delivering client presentations, writing investment briefs, or leading meetings with cross-functional teams.
• Schools want to see that you can both analyze data and communicate insights clearly.
If you combine CFA Level 1 with real, documented strengths in both quant and verbal areas, you have a stronger shot at a waiver.
