<p>Hi, I posted a message like this a few days ago in the Cornell forum, but this is a better place for it.</p>
<p>I am currently a female freshman from New Jersey at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. I would like to transfer to Cornell in Fall of 2006. I'm a Computer Science Major, but I decided to switch to Information Science, Systems and Technology because a). I want to go into business, not just a technical field and b). that's what I honestly WANTED to major in before I decided to go to Rose and thought I could just do CS.</p>
