Sounds like the profs were jealous. And with some writing experience I can say, fiction writers at least, aren’t writing homework assignments. They do all sorts of things that one would never do in a homework project.

The real problem with Subjective grading is: It's subjective. Said as the spouse of an English Prof. who indulges in writing for hire.
 
"You do realize that Storrs, CT is about an hour drive from Molly’s hometown of Centerville, MA?"

Centerville is on Cape Cod about 2.5 hours from Storrs

My favorite Molly story is from a game we attended in Hartford and they did the challenge between a spectator and a player.. The question was to name as many towns in Ct as you can in say 20 seconds... a 12 year old from MA was picked and she did ok, maybe naming 8... then Molly can on the Video screen and started with Eagleville... I knew she was in trouble. the 12 year old won, I don't think Molly said Harford or New Haven...

I have no idea but undergrads that smart often do.............she's certainly qualified..............
 
I would like to congratulate Molly. I have known only one other D1 NCAAW basketball player doing BS in math. She was from one of the historically black colleges and I have forgotten the details.
I would like to mention that Virginia Wade, a three time grand slam winner from the UK, studied physics and mathematics at U of Sussex. I have been told of her post graduate degrees. I was unable to confirm it.
BS math among basketball players is very rare.

Another impressive mathematician-athlete is retired NFL-er John Urschel. Urschel graduated from Penn State with a 4.0 in Mathematics in 3 years. He's currently doing a PhD at MIT. John Urschel - Wikipedia

I hope she does (considers and goes) and doesn't become a teacher. I do hope she gets into some arena of coaching or helping with a team. She will have one of the greatest attributes a college grad can have: a recommendation from GA.

Unless she goes the private school teaching route, she’ll have to go to grad school (or at least some kind of licensure program) to get her teaching credentials.

As noted in the thread title, Molly is savvy. I’d be shocked if she enrolled in a graduate program and WASN’T a graduate assistant to, at the very least, get her master’s paid for.
