Fong, who is majoring in mechanised engineering and calculating machine science, express she thinks the essay is a unequivocal asset to Yales efforts to close in the exceed candidates for its engineering program. merely Fong said she knows that some students whitethorn not share her view. \n most peck tactile property like kind of than difficult to recruit more than than heavily, [the University] should do more to break the program and let it say for itself, Fo ng said.
