You can technically skip all actuarial subjects in the first year but why would you? There is only 1 actuarial specific course and 2 mathematics courses (science faculty) that are geared towards the actuarial component. Other than that I'm pretty sure you can avoid the commerce bits of actuarial...
Have you considered this course?

WSU tends to accept more mature aged/low ATAR and pathways students. In there you could always externally transfer to UNSW but at least it...
the normal way (just MD) is defs gamsat
there’s 2 versions of med: straight from high school (5-6 ys) or after you graduate your bachelors degree (postgrd MD 4yrs)
it’s very hard to get in after high school + med schools would appreciate the greater maturity of an older applicant pool.
USyd...
you need an undergrad to get into the postgrad MD. this just allows you to bypass the gamsat
it is sequential rather than simultaneous like a traditional double degree
No real difference, except that in advsci, you have to do a special subject (scif1131) and have to do your subjects at the advanced level where possible.
Not 100% sure how the 2 honours years works, since both advsci and engo have embedded honours.
Actuarial doesn't have many combined degree options (at least at MQ and UNSW) since it requires a lot of subjects for external accreditation. This is why you can only really combine it with 'similar' disciplines since there's some overlap that'll give you extra space for such subjects. Not 100%...
This isn't quite right;
There is only one easier math course (MATH1011). You still need to do the normal/advanced first year maths courses in order to do the second year ones. If you don't think you're ready to do MATH1131 (the first standard maths course) in your first term of uni, you can do...
Yep - Last day of teaching is a Friday, then you get Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed off. Exams start on the Thursday and since the timetable is somewhat compressed, you can have exams on a saturday.
If you love society and culture, why not do both? Imo society and culture was really easy and wasn't too hard to balance with MX2. You don't need to make an ultimatum right now.
