Why Research This?

I researched this university because I was interested in a school where I could get a major in CS. I am interested in software and programming, and I think this college would be a great fit for me because it has a school dedicated to Information Systems. My research has affected my thoughts because now I know what scores I need to get on the SAT/ACT to apply.
