DespoForAdmit

Hi! I have been conferred with an admit for the CS MS/PhD program and they have given me 14 days to respond. I am waiting for offers from another two universities in Europe and have been given an unfunded offer at a reputed US university. I just wanted to know if accepting the offer at KAUST is the right decision in the form of reputation and future prospects. Thank you

Thanks, hope so I get an admit we will surely meet there.

Thanks. Hoping to get an admit, fingers crossed. How did your interview go and were you accepted?

I was interviewed today by the Kaust graduate admissions committee. The interview went well and thanks for the suggestions @ARJS and others. When should I expect to hear back from the program?

Thanks and good luck to you as well. I have contacted prof. Wonka as I share my research interest with him.

Thank you very much for the guidance. I'll try to prepare for the most trivial questions as mentioned by you.

Sure I would definitely do that. The professor on the later half of the interview spoke about life at KAUST and things I need to do, things to avoid and fun places there. He was very positive about having me there for the PhD position, noting the fact that I have applied to KAUST just yesterday based on the prof.'s recommendation. I mean what will the 2nd interview be based upon and what will the interviewer be interested in? Thanks

Thanks for the information. I was interviewed by the professor today and he says he will recommend me for admission and said it will be followed by another interview. When should I expect to hear back for the interview and on what terms will the second interview be based on?

I have applied for a PhD in computer science. Which interview (one by the professor and the other by the university) is the deciding yardstick for admit.

I guess the acceptance emails have been sent long back. We just have to wait for the inevitable rejection emails.

Waiting for any info on this, I have currently applied to Graphics department. Don't know when will they respond.
