CFA Institue Membership

[Mojo]

Anyone here who has applied for CFA affiliated or regular membership recently?
Would you care to share your experience?
The sponsor requirements for membership are now very strict. They ask for two sponsors with one of them must be a regular member and the other preferable is candidate's current supervisor. And the work experience requirement is narrowed down to investment-decision making type of work experience. Actuarial experience is no longer on the list.
