bong is right, and it should be hard.

If you are a keen actuarial, your average should at least be 3.00 by the end of first year. (If you are extra keen, anywhere around 3.80 to 4.00.) Your grades should be a concern... however, you should do your best in first year, because who knows - it may be harder to transfer given they do have a quota for first year Law.

if u really want acst/law, another way might be to get into sumthin like applied finance/law, and transfer to acst/law....

not too sure how that would affect your 1st yr subjects though...

 

[Supra]

but i thought all the act std degrees (incl all doubles) have same first yr subjects...

 

[bong]

yea they do.. im just sayin.. if u really want that law component, its an option

not sure as to the 1st yr subs u can do with applied finance/law

 

[flyin']

Don't worry, ACST/LAW people start their Law units in second year... which is why I could've transferred, if I wanted to... but I don't want to spend six years, which is why I didn't.

 

[Supra]

yeh 6 yrs is daunting, i jus wanna finish it up in 4yrs and chase after FIAA accreditation

 

[flyin']

By the time they finish their Law doubles, we could've potentially finished Part III (and immediately after that Part IV) and become FIAAs.

No one ever tells you about Part IV do they?

 

[bong]

unless its the professionalism course and work experience requirement...

part 4???

 

[flyin']

Ah, someone who knows... it's the Professionalism Course. Work requirement is for Part III.

 

[bong]

yay

from what i remember.. its a series of talks and what not over a couple of days?

 

[flyin']

I heard it was only one day. But even if it's a month, it's all good, if we make it at all.

 

[bong]

optimism

just dont overdo it

 

[flyin']

Well, I'm under no illusions as I finished my walk in the park, and things start to get serious.

 

[bong]

since i havent started... no comment

 

[flyin']

You're in the "Walk in the Park" stage, with possibly wild animals lurkin' behind trees and swings.

 

[bong]

and i suppose you're on your way into the congo?

 

[flyin']

No, I'm on my way to a dark dark place...

 

[bong]

oh come now, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, its just very far away and difficult to reach......

 

[flyin']

I'll rephrase that - There's a light at the end of the tunnel, it's just very far away and where few will reach.

 

[bong]

lol, i was trying to imply just that
