hello Eleonora, Tatiana Castillo, Hadieh, and Abdul Waris,
Actually, I am applying for a PhD and have several interview until now, last one was in May and until now I did not hear anything back from them.
In fact I start to receive acceptance from other universities, however, I would really love to work with certain professors in KAUST, that's why I am so patient.
It will be great if once you hear from them to let us know, and I am gonna do the same as well.
I really hope we gonna hear +ve news from KAUST soon.
