<p>My son was also considering actuarial science, and that was one reasons why UDel was not that attractive to him. Look at UConn and Penn State. They are both Actuarial Centers of Excellence in the Northeast. I don’t know much about Penn State but UConn offers both IS and OOS scholarships for 1/2 off tuition for 4 years if the student has good academic scores (1350 CR+M SAT and good GPA). Hope that helps.</p>
