<p>I have a dilemma.</p>

<p>Im not sure if i want to be an actuary or do finance at queens business school! I would go to waterloo for actuarial science or queens for B.Comm but im not sure what to do</p>

<p>I dont know if my math is strong enough for actuarial science but i wont know until i try and i obviously got into the school so i cant be that bad (33 ACT) and i'd almost guaranteed have a job in Bermuda (where im from) if i was an actuary and past my exams </p>

<p>Finance on the other hand is something i also like but i dont think the job security is as good or the pay. So im not sure what to do and i have to decide soon, most people say go with what you enjoy but i dont know im not an actuary or someone with a CFA</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>If this affects you decision at all-</p>

<p>I heard that Queen’s commerce is one of the most selective+prestigious programs in Canada, and its acceptance rate is close to some of the ivies</p>

<p>To be honest, I don’t think that Queen’s Commerce’s acceptance rate is close to Ivies… its probably around 20% if I were to hazard a guess. But yea, Queen’s commerce is amazing… I visited the building… very rich tradition. I’d go with commerce… also, the Queens campus is approximately 260096839 times better looking than Waterloo’s campus… although neither are gorgeous.</p>

<p>The new mathematics building at waterloo is pretty nice. Or maybe they just edited their photos to make it nicer.</p>
