Sorry, I couldn't resist:

I'm the 10th generation in a row to attend this university (on my father's side, 3rd on my mother's)

Now if UIUC would ever put out their application.

Applications will be accepted starting the 15th, so two more days. Get in before the preferential date of November 15th if possible. One of my buddies is doing your dream. He got a good fellowship with Stanford to do his graduate work. So he got his BS here and the lil traitor is going to get his MS and PhD out at Stanford.

I'm a sophomore at Georgia Tech majoring in civil engineering. Our campus is definitely urban, but it's been a nice change considering I grew up in the middle of nowhere. There's always WAY too much construction going on, though.

I know SunByrne in RL, and he really is that smart.

I made my own run at over-educated:
A.B., Brown University, Art History, Urban Studies
M.Arch., Harvard University Graduate School of Design

I also spent a year at Columbia, and a year at the University of Helsinki as Fulbright scholar. Didn't meet Linus Torvald, though -- that sure would helped out my geek cred.

I'm now doomed to fifty years of Continuing Education to maintain my architecture licenses. E.g., I took a course last spring on drywall. It was (wait for it) kinda dry.

Here at UC, Irvine, we are Anteaters. (Go 'eaters!). But the best I've heard is the UCSC Banana Slugs (no joke!).

Not hardly--I'm just too pigheaded to know when to quit.

That's a good one! My favorite for college football is the Western Illinois University Leathernecks! It doesn't work so well with their women's softball team, but nothing is perfect. The mascot looks a little like a pug, but yellow and purple.

Essex County College -- Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts 2002 3.67 GPA
Montclair State University -- Bachelor's of Arts in English Creative Writing 2004 3.15 GPA
GRE: 570/800 Verbal, 470/800 Math, ?/? Analytical Writing

I've decided to just let God pick the right graduate program for me in the next several months. Why go crazy when I already know that the high competition is fierce and ferocious? I got to compile a list of requirements that all of these hard ass schools want from me today: gre scores, manuscript requirements, letters of recommendation, undergraduate transcripts, etc. Maybe I'll get into at least one school for fall 2006. Who knows?

For some reason I always thought you were more of a science person. Guess I was completely off the mark.

I almost went into Creative Writing also. I love writing fiction, been doing it since I could put sentences together. But for me it just seemed impractical in the long run, so I went to law school instead. Anyway, hope things work out for you.
