[Supra]

the cut offs for Macquarie Actuarial Studies is as follows:

BCom-Actuarial Studies 96.35 (used to be 97.25)
BCom-Actuarial Studies/B App Fin 97.7 (used to be 98.5)

[flyin']

the uais are very similar to the those of the class of 2001

 

[hasterz]

do u think this year's decline was a freak show or do u think this trend will continue?

 

[flyin']

Actuarial shouldn't be as high (UAI) as it was last year. It's around the right place now. I don't think it'll fall below 95, and I don't think it will rise above 98 (single degree, that is) anytime in the near future.

 

[RIZAL]

I think it's hard to speculate on which way the cutoffs will go because there are too many variables.

Their could be a TV show about Actuaries a la 'The Practice' and the cut offs could all jump over 99.

Or there could be a movie that portrays the profession as boring and the cut off could fall below 95....or did they make a movie like that already?

About Smicht?

It's usually Demand and Supply, and with limited places, it doesn't change that much. Anyway, doesn't matter / concern us because we're actually studying it.

It won't jump much, thanks to the introduction of actuarial at UNSW. If UNSW get a really bad rap about their actuarial program, the UAI at Macq might rise. Otherwise, it'll be so and so.

 

[RIZAL]

yeah About Schmidt. Good movie.

There is also a Ben Stiller movie where he plays an Actuary but I forget the name.
