<p>Hi everybody, I’m an international student who is applying for NYU.</p>

<p>As my dream job is actuary in a big company, I’m considering to study Math in CAS or Actuarial Science/Finance in Stern.</p>

<p>And I would like to pursue a master degree eventually.</p>

<hr>

<p>Info:
SAT I: M800+W790+CR680 = 2270
SAT II: Math II 800, Physics 800, Chemistry 800
AP’s: 5’s in: Macroecon, Microecon, Calculus BC, Stat, Physics C, Chemistry
GPA: HORRIBLE (3.5-ish?) in Grade 9-10, 4.05 in Grade 11</p>

<h2>ECs not so special…</h2>

<ol>
<li><p>Could you chance me for CAS and Stern?</p></li>
<li><p>Which major (Math or Business in NYU) I pursue as an undergraduate will benefit my future career more? Which will give me more opportunities? Overall, which major do you suggest me applying?</p></li>
<li><p>Any more comments for me?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks a lot! :)</p>

<p>Stern chances, RD 50-70%, ED2 70-90%, Variance due to essays and because you didn’t specify any extracurriculars.</p>

<p> Thanks!
And you think it’s better to study “Mathematics” or “Finance/Actuarial Science” as undergraduate for an actuary career? </p>

<p>I would imagine Actuarial Science is better for a career as an actuary.</p>
