Take a look at
http://www.IllinoisState.edu/actuary
and just compare us to any other place for number of exams passed and cost (other statistics are not really available). You can see our exams successes on our web site. Over the last three years, we have had an average of 96 per year. If you come to Illinois State and graduate without having passed the first two exams and all VEE fully satisfied it will because you do pay attention to instructions, since if you follow our instructions, you really must be able to get those done. Of course it is possible you are not smart enough, and in that case you are likely to get an F in the first or second actuarial class you take, and you should get that message, too. This is the most difficult undergraduate major there is.
Yours,
Krzys' Ostaszewski

Chinese who major in AcSci - September 4th 2007, 07:55 PM

I attend Maryville U in St Louis MO. Two of the top students in my classes are Chinese grad students. Also, two of my professors are Chinese, including the AcSci department head. Good luck with your university selection.
