How does one get roped into taking an exam

Roped is a nice spin on “it was postponed a year and a half and I missed the week long deadline to get a refund”

Which round are you aiming for?

Aiming for round 1 to increase my chances (is that unrealistic?)

GMAT already done? If so, then it’s not too late at all. I started pulling mine together for 4 schools in august and felt like I had more than enough time.

If you want an MBA, I would in your position focus on gmat/apps. No MBA job would be locked out for you without the CFA.

Just bought a new primary residence that needs work. Current home has ~$100k equity after buying in 2019 with <$20k down (appreciated around 20% in the last 3 years, in a major metro area). Would you:

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.

3) other approach?
