I'd like to know how realistic it is to apply for Oxbridge MATHS and any US ivies or US prestigious unis as I am afraid my B and C will hinder my application and it may waste a lot of my time preparing for oxbridge . How heavy will the art grade be considered even by other unis such as UCL LSE Imperial Cambridge and potentially Yale.
My A levels are Maths, F Maths, Chemistry, Physics.
Regarding US unis, my weakest point BY FAR is my extracurriculars and Im wondering if there is anything I can do in the next year which will increase my chances at getting an offer. I currently do some activities but none involve rewards such as maths club, volunteering(tutoring) , sports team etc.
I only have a few rewards such as UKMT gold (once) and not many other awards, which extracurriculars have rewards to show for my achievements?
Thanks
Further question:
I plan to be an actuary but I haven't been able to find many people knowledgable in this field. I wasn't to work in a job with heavy problem solving and preferably finance but I hear that accounting and investment banking is very saturated right now and probably even more so in next few years.
What is being an actuary like?
What is the course itself like (actuarial sciences)?
What degree would be best for going into actuary ?
How hard is it to become an actuary (steps and exams) ?
Is the pay good and if so, why is it in such high demand?
