I seem to recall last year having the option to apply for the Charter early as an L3 candidate before exam results were released. I believe I even received an email from CFAI encouraging me to do so. Well, it wasn’t a ‘tell’ as to performance because I failed band 10.
However, I do not believe I’ve received such and email this year. And also, when visiting the CFAI website, I can’t seem to find the option to apply early for the Charter. Does anyone else have this option? If so, where do you go on the site to do so. Thx.
 
I thought the Institute requires a period of post-exam work experience before granting the charter…
 
Is there a disadvantage of applying later for the charter?
My understanding is once one receives the charter you have to start paying for membership and continuing education.

Got it on June 21st. The email subject is: Want to know more about the grading process?

Not sure if serious.
