II. Basic Courses

1. Differential Equations: Math 216, 256, 286 or 316
**2. Probability: Math 425

2. Finance: Math 423

3. Statistics: Stat 426**
III. Finance Concent.
Math 525, Math 526, Econ 435, and Math 472 or 471

IV. 2 additional intermediate/advance courses related to Financial/Actuarial Mathematics

**Bold denotes course overlap
Currently taking Calc BC in high school, estimating a 4/5 on AP and will place into Math 215.
Will UMich seriously let me overlap this many courses?
