<p>Hey everyone, </p>
<p>I would like to explore the possibilities of majoring in Actuarial Science and see that UPenn is a plausible candidate as they offer it at their school. </p>
<p>If/When I apply to the university, would be be wise/possible to select an exact major before I enroll if accepted. </p>
<p>And, if I did declare that I wanted to major in this field (since I assume it's in demand for students) would that increase my chances of getting in? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>sorry, there is no actuarial science major; there is a minor, but no specific major.</p>
<p>the closest major is wharton’s insurance and risk management concentration.</p>
<p>no, there is actually an actuarial science concentration in Wharton. actuarial mathematics is what you’re thinking about, tenebrous</p>
<p>i don’t know much else about this though, sorry.</p>
<p>Wharton has an actuarial concentration. If you aren’t in Wharton you can minor in actuarial sciences. Check out the website: [Undergraduate</a> Program](<a href=“http://irm.wharton.upenn.edu/undergrad.html]Undergraduate”>http://irm.wharton.upenn.edu/undergrad.html)</p>
<p>One of my friends is minoring in actuarial sciences and has had great internship offers so far, too early for job offers. I talked to one girl who concentrated in actuarial sciences and finance and she has a pretty good job in finance. Penn has a very strong program and they reimburse you for your tests. You have to decide if you want to study business in Wharton or if you want a more traditional liberal arts undergrad and major in math or econ in SAS.</p>
<p>ooh, my mistake</p>
<p>well, in any case, the original poster has to apply specifically to wharton in order to do the concentration, but can be in any school to do the minor</p>
