I figured I couldn't go wrong with firstname.lastname@**********, unless they somehow found my name offensive, in which case... well, we've got bigger problems than admissions decisions, really.

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.

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.

Yes, I have a couple with my first and last names. Can't see how you could get more professional and formal than that.

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

...spammers don't need to know your password. They send you e-mails, they don't read your e-mails.

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:
hotloins@something.com. He wasn't impressed.
