It doesn’t matter. Just get the certification from wherever works best for you.

I’m currently taking mine through Yale. It convenient since it’s entirely online vs Chicago booth requires some in person. Additionally they’re very extensive in providing testing tips and what may be more heavily tested vs other subjects.

Do it! Yale sounds noble. Depends on you in-terms if cost and all factors inclusive.

Does the CIMA have a good reputation? I am also considering getting it as well.

Do what makes you feel more comfortable.

Trying to get my GRE Quant score from a 160 to a 165. Feel like it’s a harder jump than when starting from a lower base - will appreciate any strategy tips or suggested Quant resources!
