Notes
Hi, please refrain from applying to this program. The director is extremely arrogant and capricious. My degree was taught in English and from their department statement about English requirements, I thought I can be waived from a test. After submitting my application, I was told that students who meet other four reqreuiments can be considered for funding while my case is ineligible. Why don't you state it clearly??? After I requested for an alternative solution, the director (Murat Munkin) replied that they will consider my application as is and ask me to take a formal test if I have been funded. Then this week he told me that I'm admitted but I should provide them with a satisfied test score before funding can be considered. I am confused why things happening disconform to what he said one month ago. I guessed he forgot it, so I simply reminded him of his words. Then he told me in five minutes that my application was decided to be not funded. Ahahahah, extremely interesting to learn. Person who went back on his words made a decision in five minutes to punish an applicant who mentionted his promise. Wow, so arrogant so capricious! Do they still want to run this program??? Seem have no humanity and mercy. And the program dictor can decide everything about admission based on his mind and moods. Do they indeed have a committee???
