Thanks for that. Just purchased for supporting member. Do you know why so few people apply for UCLA TFT Undergrad this year? Only two people appear in 2021's application. Because of the pandemic?

 

[Chris W]

I think it's more that not as many Undergraduate applicants find the site compared to graduate Applicants. I'm trying to change that and get it more visible.

 

[Sky Zhuang]

Yep. Thanks for your contribution... My college counselor told us the reason why UC extended their submission ddl is they have no enough number of people to apply for them... I hope this is true for TFT...
