Hi, sorry if I've missed this out, but for SOA and CAS, are there any exemptions from the papers through the degree course? I'm also currently having massive headache on choosing a university. So far have roughly looked into Drake, Nebraska-Lincoln, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin-Madison and Waterloo; whereby the latter 2 are listed as impossible for me right now blush.gif I can't really decide. The cost and selectivity for the 4 universities are roughly the same, popularity for their act sci course I believe is about the same too. I can't seem to have the grasp on making the final decision.

Also, would it be fit for a 3.37 CGPA-er (pulled down badly from 3.67 by American history laugh.gif ) to continue pursuing in act sci? I've also gotten B- in my calculus 2 subject (a lot of integrations). It's making me quite rocky regarding my choice of majoring in act sci. Not to mention I've also re-discovered that I still have the passion for accounting and computer science other than maths. Gah, decisions decisions sad.gif

IF i am not wrong, the degree doesn't exempt u from the P paper if u're doing it in the states. u need to take it externally. either the school arranges for it or you take it urself

not really that sure though.

seriously, just ask urself, others cant judge if u are "fit" or not for the prog.... as for your passion for accounting and comptuer science, you can always take 'em as electives =)) afterall, accounting and comptering are also compulsory courses in the actuarial prog isnt it?

all the best!
