I thought the rule was that you had to take 2 of each level (1, 2 and 3) in breadth. You have 3 level-1 and 1 level-3.

you need to take a minimum of 6 breadth (max of 8), and one of the breadth needs to be level 300

Looks good, although I think Tax Law is probably a better option than Banking and Finance Law as it's a prerequisite for accounting accreditation (if you ever wanted to change careers...).

Also, by 3rd year it's most likely that students have already made their decision to stick to actuarial. Banking and Finance pwns anywho (hedge funds are orgasmic :P)
