It's usually a good idea to get as broad a background as possible. In particular, successful students in the past have often had more than one major and frequently have co-oped. Summer internships can also be quite useful in getting a permanent job. Students interested in doing actuarial work will find it helpful to pass some of the actuarial exams before graduation.
