SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the eligibility of super-senior students to participate in the Putnam and University Physics Competitions. The original poster, who is on a six-year academic plan, seeks clarification on whether their status as a fifth-year undergraduate disqualifies them from entering these competitions. It is confirmed that the rules do not explicitly prohibit students who have been in college for more than four years, as long as they remain undergraduates. The poster is advised to contact the competition committee for definitive confirmation.
