Short Answer for Fu Foundation

For the supplement question,

Quote:
For applicants to The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, please tell us what attracts you specifically to the study of engineering:
am I allowed to discuss a specific focus of engineering (for example, BME) or should I broaden it?

I believe that the more specific you are the better. It shows that you know what you are talking about.

Oh, fantastic!

I already had something typed up for JHU so I was just wondering if I could copy and paste.

it makes me sad that there are some RD people who are so much less passionate about the school than us ED'ers, yet they will get in over those of us who are rejected.

no offense to anyone, just the way the system works i guess...

Well the question isn't asking for why I'm interested in the Fu Foundation of Engineering, it just asks why I'm interested in engineering, a question I answered a long time ago.

But I understand how you feel.
