If you're very determined to do Actuarial Sciences, my advice, just keep in mind that you will complete it in 10-12 years and not less than that.

The first 4-5 course examinations of Society of Actuaries are held twice a year and the rest only once a year... Which makes it minimum of 7-8 years IF you clear all the examinations in the first attempt provided that you appear for the exams in EVERY examination session, which quite frankly speaking is virually impossible.
If you fail to clear the courses in the end, you have to wait a whole year to give their examination.
Again, I don't mean to discourage you or anyone, but only a few students become fully qualified Actuaries in 10-12 years, majority of them are never able to do that...
So consider it a virtual career suicide... TAKE ALL THE FACTORS INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE YOU TAKE ANY STEP... Because a lot of people are drawn towards the fact that Actuaries are highly paid, and don't consider how big a career risk the study of RISK MANAGEMENT (Actuarial Sciences) itself is.
