Aight so I'm a senior trying to get into the University of Washington, and my dad set me up with a meeting with the head math prof. this weekend (fuckin morning after homecoming), trying to get me a connect inside the school who can hopefully network, whatever to improve my chances of getting accepted. The problem is i'm shitty at math, i dislike math, and i really don't know what to talk about with a 50-something accomplished (woman) professor. Anyone have any ideas of topics i can bring up?

fuck math! I've been spending the past 2 hours trying to figure out how to prove shit that is obvious.

But anyways, ask her why 10 is afraid of 7.

im a Freshman at Bryant University. Talk about things other than math. Talk about the differences between high school and college. ask what the final grade is made up of (quizzes, how many exams do you give etc.) studying and college work in general is different from high school. just ask things that can better prepare you for the transition.

While you're at it, you might wanna consider moving out of state... That's the best in you could ever get.

Lol UW.

my plans involve moving out of state. i'm really just trying to appease my dad, he wants me to go there, and i'd consider it an accomplishment to get accepted into the only school in the world that discriminates against the in-state white male.

what do succesful students do differently?


what do you think the biggest challenge is in transitioning from HS to college?

Whats the best dorm?

why did she choose to be a prof at the worst school ever?

does she enjoy the fact that UW went 0-12 in 2008, and just plain sucks?

Why is WSU a much better institution?


if she could go back to college, what would she do differently?

if she wasnt a math proff, what subject would she love to do research on/teach?


this is helping thing is easy, every question i get i murder!
