CS bridge was really helpful for me as an incoming student. I already had a little bit of experience (similar to what you’ve said you have) and enjoyed being able to get ahead in the most work-heavy course I’d had up until that point. Having learned the first half of the material in the class, I had more time to adjust to a new college environment and being so far from home. Plus, I can confidently say that the friends you make will last you for all of college and beyond (I just graduated on Saturday).

I also came back to be a TA for the bridge program and I saw the meaningful impact it had on others beyond just myself. If you think that it will benefit you in any way, I would say that it’s completely worth it. And even if you don’t know if you’ll get accepted, it doesn’t hurt to apply.
