Hazzy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, the wait is horrible. I actually dreamt that I met someone who got accepted while I was still waiting for my second interview lol. anjumrauf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARJS Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hey fellows c'mon... don't be so overwhelmed... This planet supported life for 4.5 billion years and it would continue to do so even if none of us gets selected in KAUST. This is not end of the world. Why waiting is killing and c'mon you have started dreaming about it. We have to convince ourselves that our life matter more than getting admission somewhere and that KAUST and for that matter any other university's decision would not affect our ability to strive for the best. While it will give me immense pleasure if I am selected but at the same time it is totally OK for me if I do not get selected because I know it is not KAUST or Stanford or MIT or Harvard who defines what I am and what I am capable of. They just facilitate my transformation. Komugi and anjumrauf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really terrible at this waiting business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really terrible at this waiting business. Fellows, where else are you all applying or have applied? Edulix doesn't have any members who are considering/have considered KAUST, etc. Well, KAUST is my top choice so I do care about whether I am accepted or not. ^^; But yes, at this point I just want to know their decision. I applied to another uni and was accepted. I'm not sure to accept it because a) I'm still waiting for KAUST I was advised not to go for it because future opportunities might be lesser so I am considering if I should apply to other places instead. And if I decide to go to that uni, I would need to make preparations in advance. It starts in July and I need to start preparing at least 3 months earlier, and I can't make a decision till I know KAUST's decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One isn't left with many choices. The uncertainty is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malsawwaf Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 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 ..

ARJS Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) The baseline for EE program is 3.70/4.00 (undergraduate). If yours is below that then yes you might be in trouble... Edited February 27, 2015 by ARJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anjumrauf Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Does anyone have any idea about how KAUST treats GPA's that are on a scale of 10 instead of 4? Do they use some conversion formula or simply consider the applications on a case-by-case basis? My CGPA is 8.8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
