Considering law school?

Actually, an analytical background is something that interests many law school. The person above me is correct; it doesn't matter what you major in so long as your GPA and LSAT are high. (Anyway, many schools vie for a diverse student population so your math background will definitely stand out.)

If you are a strong writer, that will help you in law school, too. As for a specific field of law, that will depend on you and your interests. There are various fields to choose from -- litigation, criminal, corporate, intellectual property, etc.

If you're serious about law school, do as much research about it beforehand. (Likewise, research your employment options.) Law school (and studying for the bar) are serious investments so shouldn't be entered into without tremendous forethought. Good luck!

It's not difficult to get into law school; it's difficult to get into a good law school. Whether you ultimately want to take a bar exam or simply have the J.D. can help with this decision. If you want to pass a bar exam, your chances are better with the better law school. Each law school admissions office likely posts the characteristics of their classes on the website (GPA, LSAT, age, geography, et cetera) and this will help you understand where you stand. You "get into" the whole school, not programs. Once in law school and after your first year, you choose classes or even tracks, but you needn't apply further for them.

You don't pass or fail LSATs, you get a score that is judged by law schools as being somewhere between unacceptable and excellent. Compare this to SATs or GREs

All that being said, Actuarial Science is great and you may want to consider whether you need to accrue law school debt for what you will ultimately do. I think law school is worth it, but the debt is ever-present and can influence your career choices.

I suggest you talk to the pre-law advisor at your school. That person could be really, really helpful.

You don't typically have "majors" in law school like you do in undergrad. You just go and take whatever you want. In fact your first year almost every law student across the country is taking the same or similar first year schedule of your basics--torts, property, contracts, criminal law, civil procedure, etc. Law schools really don't care about your undergrad major. They just want to know did you do well at it, are you a leader, are you excelling in everything you do. Though law schools tend to attract a lot of BAs like English, Political Science, humanities majors, when I was in law school I knew some chemistry majors, math majors, pre-med majors and other B.S. majors. Many of them did very well in law school.

In fact, these kind of majors can be very desirable for Patent Law laywers if you get into that someday.

I went to Penn State and they have some great resources there to talk about whether you want to go to law school. I can't remember the name of the professor I spoke with (middle aged woman), but contact the Political Science department and ask them for who you can talk to about applying to law school. I'm sure they have a go-to person since so many people end up applying. You can even take your LSATs right at Penn State as I did. It's never too early to get the ball rolling.

you don't have to be a pre-law student to get into to law school. I know chemistry majors in law school.
