<p>Just a little advice. When applying to prestigious schools liek Cornell Or Brown
Make sure your e-mail is extremely appropriate and professional because they take into account what e-mail address you chose. </p>
<p>I figured I couldn't go wrong with <a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@gmail.com">firstname.lastname@gmail.com</a>, unless they somehow found my name offensive, in which case... well, we've got bigger problems than admissions decisions, really.</p>
<p>Um... I think regardless of wherever you apply to (college, job, etc), you should always have a professional email account. I think this is common sense by now. But thanks, kid. :)</p>
<p>Hey guys... I would really not recommend posting your email address as text on the internet. Spammers have software that combs the internet for such hyperlinks, and potentially soon, you will begin to receive mucho spam.</p>
<p>I've recently read an article about a study of CVs sent online. The ones whose email address derives from their names have a better chance than all the others, even if the employers don't do it in purpose. I think it's the same when it comes to college admissions I have made a different address :)</p>
<p>ummm kind of....using first or last name is also kind of boring && dull..but oh well if da fate of ur admission lies in little details like that then what da heck..LOL</p>

<p>...spammers don't need to know your password. They send you e-mails, they don't read your e-mails.</p>
<p>So Authentic you are so right! A friend of ours is the head of a college department. He was giving scholarship interviews and one young lady who was interviewing for a large scholarship left him with her e-mail address:
<a href="mailto:hotloins@something.com">hotloins@something.com</a>. He wasn't impressed.</p>
<p>Buy a domain name w/ email. Then pick any name you want. It will cost less than $20/year - a drop in the bucket compared to all the application fees.</p>
