<p>I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in but I'll do it anyways.</p>
<p>I was wondering what the acceptance rate for UCLA's Financial Actuarial Mathematics major is? Is it highly competitive major to get into? I know the university in general is a competitive school to get into but I was wondering if Financial Actuarial Mathematics is even harder. My understanding is some majors are nearly impossible to get into like bio or engineering. Is Financial Actuarial Mathematics like that? Also, if anyone is in the major that has any advice and comments that would be great!</p>
<p>Are you a freshman applicant or a transfer? </p>
<p>It falls under the math department under L & S, so the admission as freshman would be like normally applying to any other major and then you will have to take the prerequisites. So it won’t be impacted like anything under the engineering school.</p>
<p>Financial Actuarial Math is a new major and replaced the actuarial plan. It is essentially a math major with some actuarial classes, accounting classes, and a few econ classes (both lower division and upper division). Plus you have room to take some stats classes as well.UCLA has a lot of organizations that are actuarial based. I’ve heard mixed things about the actual actuarial classes but it should prepare to pass the initial tests. </p>
