It is indeed strange: The latest online information session said that they received about eighty applications before the priority deadline. I don’t know why they spend almost two months.
Just hearsay from other forum: the MSCS application in Columbia is delayed as well because they are first dealing with Phd application this year. I think the bridge program may be affected given that the program is a part of MSCS. The review may be reviewed by both bridge program office and MSCS office.
The program faculty mentioned on the online information session that the first summer semester should start on May 3.
Anyway, should we email the program office at least to check the progress?
