I got the email on 28/03 (today) 3:45 pm last year. So idk we shall see. Tbh it's not that special, it just looks good on your transcript. It's not the same as being a merit scholar. Btw uni is very peaceful at 6am. Don't enjoy it from 10am-2pm. Too many people.
Apart from your first year maths units, you wont encounter complex numbers in actuarial subjects or if you do you've probably made a dangerous error :)
Made a lot of progress with kpmg because of foundations program. Haven't been rejected from the others. I'm applying for about 8 firms but there's only a couple I'm interested in.
Good. Kinda slow to begin with but will pick up. Mixed feelings about coming back. Felt normal just working and not studying xD. Having success with internship applications so far, so we'll see what happens.
If you're looking to get internships etc, you'll need to demonstrate you're a rounded person even if you have a HD avg etc. Having a job is a great way to do this. Also money is a bonus but more importantly, my opinion, gets you out of the books and in another scenario which personally refreshes...
My experience of people planet was a let down. There were lots of errors and the content was oversimplified. Albeit, I shouldve taken stat175 in 1st year not 2nd

I think mq has great class sizes, really get to know everyone. Also youll find non actuarial units are significantly easier. In saying there definately isnt the same quality in stuff that would be present at unsw. It sounds like you want to go to unsw. So...
Some uni's offer part 2's. I know the procedure for mq but not for unsw. To become a fellow now prolly 8 years from start to finish. Depends on the cohort. A lot of it is extremely challening and it takes a certain kind of person who is intelligent enough to learn/understand the material...
Another thing to note when you meet the academic requirements in an exemption unit, you are not "exempt". You are eligible to apply to the Institute for an exemption but will be required to pay a fee for each subject you are applying for an exemption.
Hi, to become an actuary you need to "pass" examination from part 1,2,3 and a professionalism course. If you were able to "pass" everything first go it would take you about 7 years. However due to the education changes, you are now able to study the part 1 and 2 exams through the institute. So...
