UCLA to increase international enrollment
No one asked Yucong Wang to deliver a presentation to his high school about applying to American universities.
He just did it.
“Not that many people know the way to the universities here,” said Wang, a second-year electrical engineering student.
He focused less on UCLA and more on broad topics like the SAT in his 2009 talk, while fellow students in his small city in eastern China listened closely.
