2010 Stat Applicant Profiles

[rooster34]

I was going to share my profile and instead I thought it would be nice to have a thread for profiles of applicants (GRE and GPA just don't cut it!) So, with a nod to the engineering profile thread, here's the stat applicant thread for 2010. Please use this thread for profiles only. Below, you will find the template. The best way to post your response is to quote this one and then remove the quote tags. That way, you won't have to do all of the formatting by hand.

Below is the good portion of my profile. What's not reflected there are the two failed attempts I had a big state schools over 13 years ago (we're talking GPA's south of 2.0 in both cases.) I'll be interested to see how things turn out and to what extent schools consider the bad performances I had earlier. I know that UIUC only looks at the last 60 undergrad and all grad work, so that's encouraging!
