Well yeah, she's a college student. I hope you didn't lie about your educational background, because it's not going to end well if you did.

I think pics 2, 3, or 5 would be better for your main pic. It'll entice more women to look at your profile. It really doesn't matter if it's a little outdated since you've specified which pic is the most recent.
It's probably best if you add a little anonymity to your profile, especially since you're a professor. I'd keep the names of your schools out of it. If she's curious she'll ask, and it will give you something more to talk about. Referencing Princeton and grad school many times makes you come off as bit arrogant. The heavy emphasis on schooling will give women the impression that you have no life outside of your university. You should probably just confine it to the "What I'm doing with my life" section.
Nerd has a negative connotation (very unsexy). Maybe replace it with enthusiast? Women will be able to pick up on your vibe based on what's written.
6 things - commentary is unnecessary. hard to skim when it's bulky
Exclamation points look weird on longer sentences.
lol @ poker chip tricks and "you should message me if" deja vu
Your profile is appealing to asexual nerds, not females. The only way to redeem yourself is to post shirtless pics. Seriously though, condense your profile, generalize more, and add stuff that will make a female want to be in your life. If you can cook, definitely put that in and say you can make the best hotdog or whatever you've ever eaten. Just give the highlights and let ask more about them if she's interested.
Sorry if I come off as too critical. You had a lot written, therefore more to comment on.
