General Interest to the demographics here.
To all people here giving advice, where do you fit in with actual experience in your Academic career.

4th year for me, but I'll be staying a 5th year (not by choice, but because the classes I needed weren't available in my Community College).
 
B.S. in Math in 4 weeks :smile:
 
First year.
 
Ya, I'm not really sure what I am. Done 4th year in a week, and starting grad school in the fall.
