firly Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hello guys, I'm applying for MS Mechanical Engineering, still waiting for the interview invitation but somewhat feels hopeless (haha) My qualification is just a mediocre, BS on Aerospace Engineering from my local university, 2nd class upper, TOEFL 84, no GRE, plus i'm a hijabi woman. Is there any possibilities where one does not get invited to interview and not receiving any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAUST Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 hey hironahah. you seem a very prospective candidate. Best of Luck. As you are already done with your masters in KAUST, can you please share your interview experiences? Are MS/PhD students and PhD students treated alike by KAUST, I am apllying for MS/PhD in Electro Physics. Also I have recommendation by a KAUST professor, so do I need to take a technical interview again? Actually my sponsor told me that you dont have to, but still I am curious!

I am applying for Master's Degree, Earth Science and Engineering. Hi, Alvsyhrn. I submitted the application on 01/01 for Master's degree. Then, I got an Email indicated that I was transferred to PhD program on 01/07, because I'm going to obtain a master degree in US. The interview is on two part: 1. Introduction to Kaust; 2. My research experience. Professor is nice. Good luck to you. Edited January 12, 2016 by siriux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about your application? nothing so far, but I got a suspicious notification from my researchgate account that a reader from Germany open my profile, it might be the professor... since I havent contact him personally before the application. Anyway, I am anxious XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to keep my expectation too high...I read the previous KAUST thread, too much disappointment there. I was part of Discovery Scholarship from KAUST, waaay in 2008, different system, so I dont think I could provide relevant information for current condition.
