whos applying? and for wat?
wat do u think are ur chances of making an interview?

 

[JustWin]

the stagnation...someone post

 

[milton]

i'm applying for actuarial studies and computer science
i dont have any impressive extracurricular activiteis to boast about, so i'm not expecting to get in

 

[JustWin]

but damn...ur academic achievements...
im so jealous

 

[schnookims]

hey i was wondering i know that the recommended knowledge is Maths ext 2 for actuarial but do you think there's still a chance if you only do maths ext 1 but are coming first even beating all the 4 unit students??

its cause i dropped 4 unit but i could do it but i had too many units and no time and im coming top 2 in all my subjects so i didnt think i needed 4 unit...do u think there's still a chance?

 

[JustWin]

i think u still can
omg im jealous everyones so smart
my chances of getting in are small compared to both of u

 

[schnookims]

yeah but they dont just look at academic profile that's only like one aspect out of 5 or something...so if you hav good leadership qualitites and a passion etc.. than you have a great shot at it =)

 

[JustWin]

do u know wat other qualities they look for? besides academics/leadership/passion

actuarial co-op will need 4unit. u can still do actuarial normally but i dont think theyd give you co-op for it, though if you really have your heart set on it, give a ring to the school of actuarial studies and ask them.. or whoever their co-op coordinator is

oh and anyone looking to pick on typos la-de-da, bugger off!

 

[JustWin]

i want to get into actuarial co-op, any advice?
expecting uai of 95-98...is that enuf?
and yea i do 4u maths

 

[phrred]

95 is pushin it. you wouldnt have made it into BCommerce about 3 yrs ago with 95 let alone a co-op but 98 ud prob have a chance

 

[JustWin]

bummer i shouldve studied for trials...
wat can i do now to make ammends?
and since we hand in application form b4 HSC, do they just look at estimated mark?

 

[§eraphim]

Nearly all Actuarial Co-op students have UAIs of 99.5+.

 

[velox]

I remember nithin saying that one guy got in from SGS with only 'reasonable' maths marks.

 

[lanyon]

Yeh i was thinkin about applying for actuarial studies too. I emailed Bindya, apparently the average is usually 98.5+. Ill probably get around that but my english marks are gonna let me down.

It seems like u know alot about it Seraphim, is the course as good as its made out to be?

Yeah, I suppose so if you make get co-op as you will definitely get an actuarial job. Otherwise, you should consider that atm there is an oversupply of actuarial grads.

 

[JustWin]

but would they only look at trial marks?
cus isnt the application before the external exam?

 

[velox]

It's good if you want to go to asia.
