Yeah - the career break could be of concern, when coupled with the fact that you have fewer years of work experience than the class average. Feel free to reach out to chat more: https://bit.ly/GM_AugAcd_Profile_Evaluation

HI, Your work experience would be less for a full time MBA program, which the class average experience is 4-5 years. In addition, taking a career break for completing CFA will not bode too well. I say this because mostly people study for GMAT and do the CFA alongside their jobs. Try getting back to work as soon as you can.
