I’m in the same boat of having to pick between these two schools. I got in as a Financial Actuarial for UCLA and as an Applied Math for Cal.
These schools aren’t making it any easier by having all the transfer events on the same weekend. All the UCLA transfer networking events are on May 8th and then Transfer Bruin day is on the 9th. Cal transfer weekend is from May 8th to the 10th.
As a SoCal person I’ll probably head over to SF for that weekend, anyone know any other events lined up to help me gauge UCLA?
A graduating senior from the UCLA math department did say that, on average, they graduate about 60 Actuary track students a year and that there is way less than 60 open jobs for that track in all of LA county so competition is very cutthroat for relevant internships and work experience.
