<p>I am going to be a senior next year and i am definitely applying to wharton early</p>
<p>At wharton, what does it take to be successful if u wish to major in actuarial sci.</p>
<p>I am a very good math student but is that good enough....as i have heard, the tests for actuarial are very difficult - (i have 800 Math SAT and Math 2 SAT2; I also have 36 on Math ACT)</p>
<p>However, I am a poor reading and english student...</p>
<p>"At wharton what does it take to be successful if u wish to major in actuarial sci."</p>
<p>Nothing - simply signing up will get you quite far, since I think they have about one person in the concentration each year</p>
<p>but since there r so little people concentrating on actuarial science...is the guidance and teaching good?....because i know the tests are very difficult</p>
<p>I have nothing to add except a joke - I once heard that actuaries are people who really wanted to become accountants but they didn't have the personality.</p>
<p>Seriously, it's an extremely small department. You're not going to get any advice about it. Wharton may not be the place for you if you're into insurance.</p>
