Hi,
I am new to the forum.
Let me indulge in a quick bio. before I get to my question.
- Hey, my name is Ron H. I have completed one year of university though I am not enrolled in any university at the moment. I entered college at the age of 17 planning on majoring in pure math and completed my freshman year before an unfortunate incident that mainly consisted of very bad lower body injuries and resulted in long spans of time in the hospital. I've never enjoyed spending hours in front of the TV or have had an affinity for oversleeping, so I decided that I would read as much as I could, including several math books in which I would also complete the practice problems. As my interest in math grew more intense I devoted almost all of my time to reading and practicing math. At first, I was just looking at my math self study as a way to stay sharp so when I returned to university the next year, I wouldn't be mentally rusty. But it turned into an obsession, as I have mastered all the topics in the undergraduate curricula. I took the GRE math subject test last April and nearly got a perfect score. I am going to take it again in October, hoping to get a perfect score. I bet you see where the question is going...
I don't want to spent 3 whole years doing math that I already know. I want to apply to graduate school. Do you think that I have a remote chance of getting in? Also, If I am to apply, I will need recommendations. In my one year of university (It's a well respected one) I made A's in all my classes, so I am thinking of making this request to a few of the professors. Do you think they will reject this request? Will they laugh?
I really appreciate your input. Getting in to Grad School is the most important thing for me right now. It is my dream. And I don't want to endure the horrors of wasting precious time as an undergraduate.
