Does clearing CFA Level 1 or FRM Part 1 still add value to a master's application for someone with a bachelor's in Computer Science (targeting 2026)? Given the effort required, is it worth pursuing either certification, or should I focus on other profile-building activities?
 
Given the time and effort, this does not have a good ROI.
Many successful applicants do not have CFA or FRM.
I would suggest spending the time to get certified on C++ or Python, build project, get good GRE, TOEFL and many other tasks.
