Exactly 10 days from this Minute.

@ Sooraj - CFA making you unsocial? What would the IAS exam make you then? :)
 
@Asdef - I dont know and my family would not like to know either :)

It’s a pretty sweet gig, but PA school is INTENSE. You cover 75% of the material as Med school in about half the time. My girlfriend is going through her first semester. Even I, after going through two levels of the CFA program, do not envy her. It’s kind of the opposite of the CFA program: whereas we have a lot of time to prepare and only one test, they have frequent exams and very little time to prepare for each. Last week my gf was tested on a 900+ page textbook/reference book and only had a week to prepare for it. It’s nuts.
It’s the same kind of “divorce your friends and family” lifestyle that we go through with CFA, and the pass rates aren’t much better, for that matter. If you like medicine though, it’s awesome. Much less of a time/financial commitment than med school, but you still get to have your own patients, write prescriptions, etc.
