That last hint was a giveaway. This must be Stephanie Kwolek. A quick look at the alumni of MMC College suffices.
The other hints fit with her.

I thought DuPont would have been a giveaway, so I chose her school instead. Well done!

Did she die before 1900?

I have a number of questions here, but you only have to answer the last one (and I already know the answer): A writer who was considered so ugly (and intelligent) that her father decided to give her a proper education? She wrote under a male pseudonym, right? She was the third child of a man named Robert and a woman named Christiana? Her real name was Mary Anne? Last question now: Her pen name was George Eliot?

Clap Well done again! You've found the other George, who has some more striking resemblances with her fellow contemporary east of the Channel.

Very striking resemblances indeed . Your third hint was actually a total giveaway but I decided not to google it at the time.

The next one is male and fictional (though to a certain extent modeled on a real person).

I feared it was a giveaway indeed. Btw, the first hint referred to Middlemarch, her most appreciated novel. March is the third month of the year, having 31 days. When the numbers 1 to 31 stand in ascending or descending order, 16 is in the middle. (I have a certain preoccupation with calendars and dates).
 
Does this man appear in a novel?

That was the only hint I couldn’t figure out! LOL

Not a novel.
