haha sumfin similar to that happened to me and in the latter interviews the interviewers were like "wow u have all these brilliant achievements but u dont seem to be very excited when you talk about them."

and then in some interviews u 4get whether u already told them sumfin or was it in another interview u did 15minutes ago.

damn i wish i went for the eas i cant believe i was sooo stupid...is flexible entry into maq acst even possible, like if i fall just short (e.g .05 or sosomething like that)

im really worried rite now i have no idea wots gonna happen...and i dont really wanna go to unsw...the reason my uai was lower than i had initially expected was that i dropped business for french at end of year 11 and i didnt do well in french, compromising my uai in the end...if all else fails im gonna have to do com/law at maq and attempt to transfer...unless the cut off doesnt rise too much

flyin:

I didnt do any economics or humanities type subjects in school. Im basically into math and the sciences but ive been thinking about Actuariall studies for the last few weeks. Do you think i have a chance at getting the once off 2.5K with my UAI? Or do heaps of high UAI ppl do this course from your experience?

Also, i imagfine this degree has been going for quite sometime, yet to be an actual practicing actuary you have to go get the FIAA accrediation, which as of last year only like 1200 people have? Do heaps of people drop out? Because couple of uni;'s offer it and 1200 isnt a big number for a degree thats been running for at least...20 years???

OK I presented my product to the EVP today. It went really really well, to my relief. The only problem is that with updated assumptions, the new product struggles to undercut the premiums of our current selling permanent life product, which has assumptions circa 1992. I lowered commissions rates (pissing off the underwriters in the process) and ended up raising the premiums slightly (pissing them off even more)...

But I had to.... since 1992, expenses per policy have doubled and our assumed rate of return on investment has fallen. Plus some dick back in 1992 discounted with the inflation rate and not the interest rate, making it even harder to match their prices. But it seems like the new product will push through.....the agents really want to kill us though. the new product should be on the shelves late february if marketing gets its act together.

aditya: i'm working at a life insurance co. i'm still in uni.
Whoa Isaac.. you sound so tech. You're doing more tech stuff than us at the moment. So pro with all them calcs.
