I am currently in the process of e-mailing school's Office of Admissions, asking advice on how to better prepare myself for applying for a (yes) third time. When doing so, how much information should I give? Should I simply have a short paragraph, expressing my interest in their school and quickly summing up my situation, or should I give them a shortened version of my application, similar to how many students do here, listing my GPA, DAT scores, coursework, etc etc, to save them the time of looking up my personal file?

It's a lot to discuss over e-mail, and it's hard to accurately get/give the appropriate advice. You should call, explain your situation, and ask to set up an appointment with an admissions advisor, either by phone or meeting.
