Any updates, anyone?

Hey there, @Kaust_applicant

I am a current BS senior student, CGPA: 3.5/4.0

TOEFL IBT 92

Math interview was about 40-50 minutes, about 15-20 questions regarding calculus, statistics and probability and a lot on linear algebra. Some of them were to solve the problems, some on definitions, some tricky questions as well. I hope it helps you and everyone.

I am really sure that they consider things beyond grades and scores, and I think that the hugest part of the admission is the personal interview which I haven't passed yet.

@HamFaizi, Thanks for sharing!

I applied for MS in Computer Engineering and Science back on 1st of January and totally forgot about my application. So, on 2nd of March (after two whole month) I received an email from a KAUST professor saying that they reviewed my application and want to have an academic interview to check my basic math knowledge. Two days later I received another email from another professor saying that they want to check my programming skills. So on 7th of March I had both of these interviews via skype which went kind of smoothly. And from then on I am waiting for any updates.

For how long have you been waiting between your academic and personal interviews? And can you share what were the questions on both of them and which program you are applying to? Thank you in advance!

Hey, @HamFaizi

Can you please tell us when was your academic interview and when will you have this personal interview in Istanbul?

I had two academic interviews last week via skype and since then I haven't recieved any updates.

Thank you
