@KAUST MS/PhD : Thank you for the wishes, good luck to you too.

Update - Scheduled on 17th to DC, they booked a 4 star hotel, flight tickets with almost no layovers, food taken care of in the hotel itself, interview schedule flexible for you to pick anytime in that day because of your flight arrivals.

I could sense they treat us like their guests rather than just an applicant.

I might not be able to join KAUST this fall.

I just met with a KAUST alumni yesterday. She just recently graduated from KAUST. She said that the professor that I listed in my application isnt working in KAUST anymore. Oh my... XD the professor name is still ON the list when I applied last December. 
I dont really interested on joining other group, so. 
Anyway, I might apply for spring 2017 if there is another interesting professor.

congratulations for your selection.

Hey do you have any idea when Kaust is going to evaluate MS/PhD applications???

Hmmm i don't know. As you can see in my history that it took about 1 month from submit online application to 1st interview. So be patient and good luck panchi.

Hi firly,

Bachelor GPA: 3.54

Master GPA: 3.89

They are considering our rank compare to our friends at undergrad beside GPA score. So, be prepared to remember how many student in your undergrad (in similar major) and estimate your rangking.

Toefl: 81

Publications: 3 poster, 4 oral presentation, 1 jurnal

Good luck

 

Andika

  Hi guys

  I applied for the earth engineering and science program at Kaust. I am Nigerian studying in Russia, I already had the academic and personal interview, the academic interview went smoothly, I got a good vibe from the professor. I was invited for an interview in  Istanbul for  24th February but later received an email that the interview has been cancelled and that I'll be contacted when there is an update. Any one with same experience? By the way congrats @andikaperbawa.

Same case Mj2991

We Just have to pray and hope for the best. Does invitation for the face to face interview almost guarantee a likelihood of getting in?

Hello fellow colleagues,

I just received an invitation for an academic interview. In the email it mentioned that the purpose of the interview is to asses my knowledge in calculus, probability, and algebra. I don't really know what to expect. Has anyone done an interview of this sort? If so, can you please let me know what to expect or what is the structure of the interview. Thank you an d looking forward to your reply.
