Hey @bong2 ! Could you share with us whether you asked for funding when applying to TPP? If no, it may support my theory that the first accepted roll out includes admitted students with no funding requirement. For the other selected ones that do require funding, TPP's admission officers still have to match research interests, professors and available funding. That may explain why the second roll out is taking longer.
Also, its not as disappointing as the previous theory.
Thanks!
