If you said yes less than 25 times…
You haven’t succumbed to the ways of the UW douchebags
Those of us at UW-Madison are truly grateful that you’re out there. You clearly have your priorities straight and likely get annoyed with the students who fall into the other two categories. While you’re probably making big things happen, don’t be afraid to let loose every now and again.
If you said yes between 25 and 40 times…
You’re on thin ice
You’ve just barely dodged the full on WOAT reputation, but you’re not far off. You have managed to retain some of the ethical lessons your parents have taught you over the years, but that’s not to say you don’t have the (very) occasional slip up. You’ve probably had your fair share of irresponsible behavior, but you’re willing to forego some Tuesday and Sunday nights out to focus on your studies.
If you said yes to more than 40 of these…
You’re the WOAT
You’re the worst type of person, but if there’s a time to pull it off, it’s now or never. Your motivations for attending UW likely fell in your desires to “work hard” and “play hard”, with a heavy emphasis on the latter. Considering that well over half of these questions are alcohol related, you should probably do some self-reflection and potentially seek help.
