Is it looked down upon to apply to grad school later (math programs)?

Graduate School
1

<p>Here's my situation: I'm a senior (undergraduate) Math - Actuarial Science major. I've gone through what a typical undergraduate would go through in terms of pure math courses (Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra), and I've passed 3 actuarial exams. </p>

<p>Ideally, I would like to get an actuarial position when I graduate. However, after a few years of working, I would like to go to graduate school (most likely in statistics) to become a professor. </p>

<p>I'm not sure, though, if I should take the general GRE and the math GRE subject test before I graduate or sometime in the future prior to applying to graduate school. I'm also curious as to whether or not it would be a good idea to wait until after I work a few years. (GPA is 3.6; I have prior research experience, grading experience, and tutoring experiences (plus quasi-TA experience; I do all of the grading and create study sessions and challenge questions).)</p>

<p>I appreciate any feedback I get - thank you!</p>
