MAT235 vs MAT237 for actuarial science major/specialist
Hey, a bit early since summer just started, but I was wondering about whether I should do MAT235 vs. 237 for the actsci major or spec, given recent requirement updates
237 is a requirement for STA257 and STA261, which are "strongly recommended" by the artsci calendar, but I do sorta doubt the actual importance of that recommendation and wanted to hear from people who've gone through it all
To note, I did kinda poorly in 137 (67), so I'm scared I'll do terribly if I do 237. Besides, STA238 is now eligible for SOA VEE credit, so perhaps it's simply the better choice? Actuarial science isn't a proof-based subject, but the weight of the high recommendation on the calendar is making me doubt myself a lot
Any help would be appreciated, especially from those who have gone through upper year ACT courses - did you guys find the formal courses useful?
