<p>Depending on the track you take, there will be either 9 or 10 exams total. And yes I finished 4 as an undergrad. And just as an FYI, a class in probability is no where near enough to pass the P exam. It takes a considerable amount of studying outside of class (usually 200-300 hours). OminousRun is correct when he says you are likely underestimating how hard these are to pass. As for the minor, it depends how much room you have. If you can fit it, then sure, a minor in chemistry or bio wouldn’t hurt.</p>
<p>Well i guess once i actually start these classes it’ll probably be an eye opener lol. Some people are still telling me to take a science major because the med school will question me. Either their talking from their times or i’m missing out on some important info…</p>
<p>Actually like you, I was super interested in Medical School. Med schools don’t necessarily require you to have a science major. You just need to complete the general requirements 1 year bio, chem, ochem, math and one or 2 upper division bio. You can just major in math or stats and still do the pre med requirements. I do think you should just choose one track and completely concentrate on that one as opposed to splitting up your attention on both.</p>
<p>Alright so i’ll focus with the premed classes and think about having a stats major… and i’ll keep actuary as my back up plan…but should i still prepare for the P and FM exams? Because if i wait till i get results for med school…and i dont get good results and think to go back to actuary at that time…i probably would have wasted time which i dont want to do at any cost. Thats why i’m trying to focus on both…</p>
<p>I guess i was more driven towards going for the big stuff but didn’t realize one big step was enough for a lifetime. Hopefully, i will get a better outlook on what path to take as i take college level classes required for premed or actuary. I am just looking to go into something that is guaranteed. In the business area, i want to work for corporations and perhaps a job that is on a high level of critical thinking so i was exploring management/analyst jobs and i came across the actuarial/financial analysts and it interested me when being a surgeon was my original plan. Because i have seen other successful physicians and surgeons who are also involved in the business department. And when i say combining these two, i dont want to do MD/MBA and get a job that pertains to just sitting at the table and doing management stuff. </p>
<p>So that’s why i wanted to see how you guys felt about taking this route and it obviously seems very complicated because if i worry about premed courses and mcats then i’l fall behind on actuarial courses… because you need internship/volunteering or some kind of experience for both meanwhile studying for the current courses i’m in… are there any other ideas for finance/math/business related professions i can look into along with premed besides actuarial science?</p>
