URGENT help needed in choosing actuarial science grad school

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I am an international student and have been admitted to the actuarial science master's program of the following schools for Fall 2013:</p>

<p>-UConn
-Temple
-Columbia
-Georgia State</p>

<p>I am utterly confused as to which program I should choose. None of the schools have offered me any financial aid right now. I have heard that it is possible for international students to get aid at UConn after the first semester. Does anyone know anything about the funding scenario in these schools specially for international students.</p>

<p>Also, could you please rate theses schools wrt to job placements, exam support, cost and overall location. </p>

<p>any feedback will be really appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Georgia State has an excellent program and is probably the best on that list, IMO. Columbia is the most prestigious, being an Ivy, however their actuarial program is not much to brag about and probably not worth the cost. </p>

<p>P.S. Unless you are joining a PhD program, you will find it extremely difficult to get financial aid at any school.</p>
