No giving up guys .. Remember that you didn't get rejected yet .. Also, note that on the website is said "Applications for Fall 205 are currently being reviewed and will be accepted through April 9" this means that up to April 9th, applicant were able to submit applications .. but it doesn't mean that reviews have ended .. If you have other options, you can decide to go with them, otherwise, don't give up hope yet .. until you get that decision, there is hope. I am in the same train as you .. I haven't even gotten an interview yet .. and I have applied way back in December before the first deadline .. "If it was meant to be for you .. then no one else will get it" Keep this in mind I know how nerve wracking this waiting is .... and believe me I have went through all the stages of depression .. but there is still this part of me which thinks "what if?" What if they like my resume but they are waiting for someone to decline so they can accept me? what if they are actually not finished reviewing and I am next? Remember that some people got waitlisted, and so If they reviewed our resumes and liked us but the program was full, they would have either waitlisted us or rejected us .. but neither happened so in my case, the CS PhD is not full yet Keep your hopes up .. but still balance your feelings so you are not shocked if the decision was not in your favor .. Soon everything will be revealed and everyone will have the closure they deserve .. I hope I am helping at least a little bit .. I am going through everything you guys are going through and I am a citizen of Saudi Arabia currently finishing my M.S .. so this is seriously an amazing opportunity for me and I absolutely wish I will be accepted Best of luck to everyone

It is nerve wracking .. Why would it take this long for a response?! If I am not on a waitlist, didn't get interviews, All POI's replied with positive things about my resume but that their groups are full .. So why isn't there a single update on my application? Why isn't their a decision yet? .... I hate this absolute silence ...

Congratulations Jamidst. I hope everyone who hasn't heard back yet is next on the list

Good luck Despo .. U r one step closer

Congratulations seismoguy, best of luck on your studies. did you get an academic interview? did you exchange emails with a professor and got recommended? or was it only the personal interview?

Good luck Despo .. Good luck everyone else .. who was your professor Despot .. I am applying to the same program (CS Ph.D) but didn't get an interview yet. I contacted Zhang and Kalnis

I love the spirit guys .. wish myself and everyone else the blessings of Allah and the success in all matters .. And to hear back from KAUST soon for those who didn't yet

Congratulations Rudychin .. Happy for you .. Hope we are all next

Hi all .. I am a PhD applicant to the Computer Science Program. I submitted my application by the end of December and completed all paperwork and until now I haven't heard anything and didn't even get an interview .. I am an applicant from Saudi Arabia with a BS and a MS (currently in last semester of MS) both from the U.S. so even being a citizen of the country didn't entitle me to a quicker response .. Waiting is horrible .. I just want an update from them .. My application still only says submitted .. Nothing else to report .. I wish everybody and myself the best of luck ..
