    Which four classes to take?

    Which four out of these classes would be the best for an actuarial career (not only passing exams)? If industry matters, then focus on P&C. Thanks for any input!

    1. Intermediate Accounting I
    2. Intro to Business Law
    3. Corporate Finance
    4. Law and Economics
    5. Industrial Organization
    6. Managerial Economics
    7. Mathematical Economics
    8. Academic Writing
    9. Introduction to Differential Equations
    10. Advanced Differential Equations
    11. Numerical Analysis
    12. Introduction to Sociology
    13. Applied Statistics II
    14. Bayesian Statistical Models
    15. Problem Solving for Business (macros, Solver, Scenario Manager all in Excel)
    16. Data Management for Business (data modeling, database structure, relational databases all in Access)

    If you have any questions on the classes, I will post descriptions. I know the list is long but I don't know what I should take. Thanks!

    I vote for Corporate Finance, Bayesian Statistical Models, Problem Solving for Business, and Data Management for Business. However, I also considered Applied Stats II and any of the economics as decent runners up.
