Thanks AppleXY for the link :) So how difficult is this course, considering the extremely high drop-out rate? Anyone know?

Oh, dear god. That's the only thing holding me back really, knowing so many people drop out.

Well...21 is my birthdate and favourite number, so I'm taking that as a sign of sorts lol.

Just wanted to confirm that you can do it with CalcII/Linear Algebra instead of Accel 1/2, you just need to get scores of 75+ instead of 60+ if you took accel maths.

Does anybody know about this course? It's taken as a major in BCo at Melbourne and is only one of four uni's hat offer it in Aus. Is it hard work?

My mate is doing actuarial studies as his major!

All that I know about it is that you need a study score of 38 in specialist maths, people say it is VERY hard work (probably one reason why my mate is majoring in it) and that it apparently pays a very good salary!
