My advice is to stay away from professional programs. It is called professional for reason, i.e. waste of time.
If you really want to study CS, the best thing to do is to take fundamental courses in your school and then apply a full time MS program. Also you can find out whether you really like it or not during the process.
Hi, spc92, When did you get that email?
I got the same email from UTCS on Jan 21. But my status page is still showing "forwarded to department and in review" as of today. It`s almost a week now.
What does your status page say?
