Generalize project for all MFE applicants
- Replace personal sample profile with generic "Alex Chen" example covering a typical applicant's coursework and experience - Remove UIUC-specific course codes from gap advisor recommendations (STAT 400, CS 225, etc.) — now uses generic descriptions - Update pyproject.toml author to MasterAgentAI, fix repo URLs - Update README example output to match generic profile Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
