What do you mean by that? So networking is an important aspect of being able to get the job?

Why is Actuarial Science an option? I'd say Accounting and Finance (just because it has Finance in it).

you need the grades and a respected degree to get in, but, knowing the right people will definitely help you get a job in such a competitive industry. Especially in regards to getting work experience and internships (which obviously help you get a job). The same counts for most city jobs now (law, marketing etc).

Because Actuarial Science is a very Mathsy degree.

I didn't know there was actually a degree in Investment Banking. How come those prestigious universities don't offer it?

Maths and Economics
