Can you add in the STAT vs SCM 200 problem with Smeal scheduling?

They are treated equally as long as you email the STAT department about it.

Does AP credit for Econ 102/104 count towards VEE?

Yes Justin, it does! If you got a certain score, that is. they should have info on the soa website.

Do I have to get VEE for Math/Stat 415 to graduate?

or just passing will be fine too?

What if I don’t know which one I want to choose? SOA or CAS

Are the RM classes the classes that are specific to preparing us for the exams?

You don't need the VEE to graduate, but if you want to continue with the exam process, you may have to take an exam after you graduate to get the credit. Therefore we recommend getting the VEE credit while in college rather than taking an additional exam after graduation

For vee questions in terms of credit

Thanks!

is there any open spot in our club, so I can apply to enrich my resume?

The SOA and CAS both have the same first three exams, so you have plenty of time! You can pass all three exams before you make a decision. At that point, your decision will likely be based on what industry you want to be in based on an internship

William, most of the RM classes prepare directly for the actuarial exams. But some like RM320w develop your knowledge of the industry

Understood, thank you

Bingxin, no need to apply for the club, simply pay dues and attend any of our events that interest you. We are happy to have you!

I’m still not set on my major, but I’m interested in Actuarial Science. Should I join the club or wait?

Join the club, Derek! Being involved in our events is one of the best ways to find out if Actuarial Science is the major for you!

Marceli, seems like you get promoted in our club after grading my RM 214 homework last fall! Great job!

I would also recommend attending company information sessions in the next few weeks, Derek. Company events will give you a good idea of what the career is like. We have nearly 20 info sessions lined up, so I encourage all freshmen to attend!

For the Virtual career fare, is that cam on or cam off?

oh nvm XD

Recruiters will be able to “invite” you to a video chat. Everyone will start off in text chat but we think the majority of recruiters will immediately switch to video.

If I payed club dues last year do I have to again this year?

Yes, we require dues each year for inclusion in the resume books.

Yes Jake, club dues are $20/year.

Ok thank you

I don't have venmo, how can I pay club dues

?

Do freshmen need to submit a resume?

Was there a sign in at last night’s event?

^

I have Venmo, but I do not know how to pay dues..

Hi Cormac, you can email me (I’m the club treasurer). nmd5348@psu.edu

Thank you

Kristin, we did not have a chat function for last night’s meeting but we manually recorded attendance so you will get a point

Derek, not all freshmen are "required" to submit a resume, but we highly recommend it!! We have had recruiters reach out to freshmen in the past and give them externship and internship interviews from the resume book alone

Hi Bingxin, you can pay dues by sending me $20 in Venmo (@Noah-Donten) since I am club treasurer. There will be a slide at the end of this presentation showing my profile picture so you know you have the right person!

Bingxin, we will have the Venmo name at the conclusion of the slides. It is also on our website

thanks!

Is it required for freshman to sign up for the boot camp

Not required Cormac, but recommended if it interests you!

Cormac - not required, but a good way to establish yourself as a top student in the club and develop professionally.

Thank you

This is the contact page for all of our club leaders: https://www.psuactsci.com/contact.html. If you are an international or commonwealth student, be sure to introduce yourself to Ayo!
