Kings College London Graduate School Admission Results

Had my faculty interview on 26th feb 2012, encouraged alot during interview. The interviewer showed much intereset in my research, but still waiting for admission offer

Just got the invitation letter this morning via e-mail. KAUST gives a full scholarship covering tuition fee, housing, relocation and traveling, insurance and base stipend.

Screwed.....................................what shall i do ,i dont know......Its been 3 years and 6 months after my graduation......Got several admissions but with no fundings....KAUST was my last hope this year...it is been rejected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....really become mad...............No satisfaction .... i have become almost mad......hopefully leaving studying..pray for me.

Finally got a response to one of my emails. "The interview committee is still reviewing your application, but you should receive a decision within the next few weeks." I have a feeling I'm going to graduate before they let me know

To KAUST posters below: it's weird, it seems like I'm the only person hearing back from KAUST within a business day. If you guys ever got communication from a specific admissions person and not from the generic admissions@kaust.edu.sa email, you should try to use that. I contacted them around April 1st and they replied the next day that they're planning to release all decisions by end of April. Given their track record, I'm not trusting it though. To the person asking if KAUST is worth it - from all the sources I've read on it, students there are very happy and a good 50% of masters students stay on for PhD. On top of that they give you a lot of money (did you last year's $75K a year awards?). But yes, it's a new university and their admissions process is notoriously frustrating.

I am becoming ver annoyed at KAUST's communications. I have sent them emails with no responses, their phone number for administration office just rings. I have tried calling their number multiple times with no luck. I tried calling other numbers and the only time someone picked up they immediately hung up the phone. I am beginning to wonder if this school is really worth waiting to hear back from. If they cannot even answer the phones in the admin office how can I blindly trust their educational program. Has anyone been able to get ahold of these people??

I was interviewed March 6th, interview was just an informal discussion to get to know me better, not an academic interview and was told to expect a response by March 15th. I emailed them and was told that admissions are still reviewing applications and faculty recommendations. I am also aware that interviews have been ongoing since end of February and are still ongoing. Congrats to the students that have received final offers but, MOST students are still waiting for admissions to decide. To all my fellow posters below who are still waiting, No news might be good news, i.e. as long as you haven't received a rejection, then there is always hope of a YES! so don't lose hope yet.

In response to the Bioscience applicant below, no they have not informed me of any time frame. I have emailed them a week and a half ago without any response. I have tried calling them as well but their admissions never seems to pick up the phone or I am calling to early in their time.

To poster below concerning notification of admission. For those recently interviewed, I was told that we will know by mid to late March. However, they do have rolling admissions.

Had an awesome interview. Does anyone know when we are gonna be notified of our admission decision? This is my first choice school by the way. Really hope I get in

Skype interview. Interviewer was very nice and answered all of my questions about KAUST.

Asked to register for Skype "personal interview"

Had a personal interview on 10th feb, 2016 (after the academic one). Till then, haven't heard anything. Mentally prepared for yet another rejection :(

Interview with POI on skype, appeared for it yesterday. Kind of indirectly told me that I am selected, but they will give me a 3 month internship initially to check where my strength lies, after that full PhD. Even though research is brilliant but I can't leave it on chance of them not liking me.

Had two interviews first was with the clean combustion center prof. And he recommended me to change my application type from Ms to Ms/PhD, then he recommended me to the admission faculty, had an interview with two of its members on 8th of March, tell now didn't get any notification, I hope to join KAUST :'( I'm not ready for a rejection. Good luck everyone
