The Big Red, Cornell, an Ivy League school founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell, and Andrew Dickson White, has always been ranked among the Top 5 schools for Computer Science and Engineering programs; I am very excited to have the opportunity to graduate and earn my Masters from one of the top institutions in the world. I will be attending Cornell starting in Fall 2004 for my
