<p>Hi,
Does anyone know the average GPA for a Statistics major at the University of Virginia?</p>
<p>Is this kind of information even published? There are only 10-20 statistics majors every year… Average UVA GPAs can be found at [UVa</a> - Undergraduate Grade Point Averages](<a href=“http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/acad_gpa.htm]UVa”>http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/acad_gpa.htm)</p>
<p>I’m also interested in average gpa for a economics major at uva…</p>
<p>Just curious…why do you want to know this info?</p>
<p>I was originally planning on studying commerce at UVA, but I have heard that they are potentially starting an Actuarial Finance concentration in Statistics. I was considering pursuing this Actuarial Finance degree, so I was just trying to check out the department.</p>
<p>You might want to consider math w/ a concentration in finance, financial economics, or both.</p>
<p>Do you know how many of the Actuarial exams this or these tracks will directly prepare you for?</p>
<p>I don’t really know much about actuarial exams. Browsing through this site might help:[Associate</a> of the Society of Actuaries (ASA) - Requirements](<a href=“http://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/edu-asa-req.aspx]Associate”>Associate of the Society of Actuaries (ASA) | SOA), it looks like you’ll need mathematical statistics, probability, more statistics…some economics…</p>
<p>A major in financial math (or math w/ a concentration in stat) with a minor in econ might be a good idea.</p>
<p>If I were to pursue that track, I suppose the next thing I would have to investigate is how to achieve the validation by educational experience (VEE) requirement for corporate finance. Since Commerce classes at UVA, except for a few lower level accounting and general business courses, are reserved for Commerce students, I might have to look at taking some corporate finance courses at another school.</p>
<p>The econ department offers a course in corporate finance.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks for the info. I’ll definitely take this into consideration</p>
