Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess.

Hedgie loves to read.

Yep.  Some also love to discuss and will happily listen to any mentor who is willing to spend a bit of time with a student.  I love those students and put time into them.  The ones who wanted a unicorn sticker and a lolly for figuring out how to submit an application are allowed to weed themselves out.
