Oh, that's not about whether people who get through or not. Because you'd expect about 1/3 to survive to possibly the end.
I just mean, whether you survive first year or not, you'd probably get about 20% who just wouldn't chose this path if given the chance. I'm one of them. But having said that, I've gotten through all the boring subjects, so I might as well get to the end. It's just too much work, for too little (present) reward.

your complaints over accounting? 
1/3 possibly to survive.. man, my frenz wave that figure in front of me a lot
i spose its reputation for a exhaustive killer course is well earned...
would that be the same for most courses though (the 20%)? pplz find that the course they're doing just aint suited to them?

I'm not sure, but in Actuarial Studies, most will struggle to get through second year. Many people will find what they've enrolled in isn't for them, and it usually taken like 5 weeks for them to find out. A really good friend of mine did just that, about 5 weeks, then quit. So in a way, he's lost a year because he only studied part time last sem. and then really starting this coming year.
I have no complaints about Accounting. I've got my exemption for that, and I'm never going near the dull, dull subject again.

Any Commerce course would be fine; App Fin? Because you can do all the non-Actuarial units in first year, so you can get some units out of the way.
Yes, you can transfer. I'd say after 1 year of full time study plus a Credit average.
However, if you didn't achieve a UAI which will let you in via UAC, I'd not recommend you attempt to do Actuarial, purely on the basis that most of your competitors will have a UAI of 98+; and considering only 1/3 survive to the end (of third year? or fourth?); I wouldn't fancy your chances to be honest.

yes choco. they will most likely go up.
My advice is same as flyn's. ie. don't pursue actuarial studies if you can't get the uai.

The cutting of places only affects those in the year after you. (Lucky bastards!
There should be about 150-190 places, depending on how much they over-enrol.
is that for the single degree?
Not that many people drop our of Acst by the end of first year. As a rough estimate it would be about 10-15%.
As for second year, people often repeat subjects (for a couple of year before dropping out) or they make it. I could only guess and say 20-30% will drop in second year. However, if they try again and fail to make progress, they'll leave in their third year (when they were studying second year material).
I'll be able to give you more statistics by the end of next year. And hopefully, I won't be part of the casualities.
----------
Anyway, I'll keep telling myself, next year, that second year is the make or break year... so it's all or nothing; no holding back!
And then, in third year, I'll keep telling myself, it's the home straight, etc.
And fourth year, I'll tell myself, it's Control Cycle; go for broke.
Essentially, no letting down from now on.
