<p>Hey there members of CC, I am a junior at a recognized international private school in the middle east, which is known for its high standards of academics. I was wondering if you could provide me with a list of probable schools for a major in mathematics and economics (dual) and a minor in actuarial mathematics, or even a school that offers just actuarial mathematics as a major itself.</p>

<p>I am currently a junior here and here are my stats/qualities:</p>

<p>GPA:3.822 after 10th grade, bound to go up because of 2 APs this year and 3/4 the next year
Class Rank: 10 of 116
Very rigorous course load</p>

<p>SAT1: taking it in December, expecting a 2000 first time, possible a 2100/2150 second time
SAT2’s: taking math2 at the end of this year, expecting a 750+, will probably take physics in October of senior year(next year), and chemistry end of next year… expecting a 730+ on them
APs: Stats and Econ this year (expecting a 5 on both), Cal A/B (5), Physics B (4/5), Chemistry (5)
I might also take AP Literature but that will depend on your recommendations on whether or not I will really need it.</p>

<p>ECs and others:
MUN: 9, 10, 11 (will also take it next year and will probably be vice president/secretary general)
National cricket team captain (travelled to a few places, and hosted a tournament ourselves)
Basketball: 9, 10, 11(Captain) (will also do it next year)
Softball (school doesn’t offer real baseball for some reason):10 (MIP and vice captain), 11, next year as well
NHS: 11 (will do it next year as well)
Helped out at a Pakistani orphanage
Community clean-up in Toronto
Tutoring: 9, 11 (next year as well)
INJAZ (business organizations competition with other schools):10, 11 (next year as well)
Forensics and Debate: 11 and (next year as well)</p>

<p>Financial aid: yes</p>

<p>More stuff:
I am a Pakistani/Canadian living in the Middle East, and I am young for my grade (don’t know if that will affect the decision in any way, since the class of '10 is mostly born in 1992, while i was born in 1993).</p>

<p>anyone? :)</p>

<p>princeton, harvard, UC-Berkeley, MIT… research it on google lol
Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Yale</p>

<p>I kinda doubt that any of these has a program in actuarial sciences…</p>

<p>Here are the actuary schools:

<p>Case Western might be good for you. A nice size college.</p>

<p>Wharton School at Penn is the highest ranked on the list, if you are shooting for a top school.</p>

<p>My daughter goes to the University of Texas and says a lot of people play cricket there, that the games last late late late into the night. You could definitely study math, economics, and actuarial science at Texas, and there would be people to play cricket with there.<br>

<p>Michigan has a actuarial/financial mathematics major (and a Student Actuaries society), along with a pretty good math and economics program.</p>

<p>University of Illinois- Urbana-Champaign has an actuarial science major.
I’m looking at going into actuarial science too, but I’ve gotten the impression that you really just need a bachelor’s degree in math or statistics and your internships and exam scores will carry you from there.</p>

<p>The Univ. of Iowa.</p>
