Face to Face interview in Istanbul, KAUST even arranges hotel and plane tickets.Dream school, very excited.

Cleared the academic interview. Received invitation to personal interview. Really excited! :)

Congratulations to the Mech. PhD candidate below. Could you plz tell when you had your interviews?

Finally!!!! After reminding them about my application via email, they have confirmed my admission. Soo excited!!!

Bummed I have to wait longer... hoping someone will decline admissions offer :-/

Bizzare decision. I know some admitted students who are much worse than I am. I know them in person. Shameful!

Finally got in. Thank you prof. I owe u big time. Competition is growing up. My professor told me that this year there are many competitive students but the space is limited. Only 15 more students can be offered place from the 86 who applied for this particular course. I wish the best of luck to my future fellow classmates.

message sent to spam. urgh!!!

Whooo hooo. Thank you God. Accepted off the wait-list after requesting and begging. Trust me it works!!! :)

Finally! Was starting to think they had thrown my application aside.

"I regret to inform you I will not be accepting your rejection. I will be attending Yale University in Fall 2013 instead."

Applied only one school, unexpected result. A little suprised.

Their loss not mine!! Okay I know :(

MS from Imperial College, London in solid mechanics. Graduated with distinction. 2 months work ex. What standards is this Uni pretending to approach?

email to check my "updated application status"

Sort of surprised...I guess wait list is better than nothing though!

To the Mechanical PhD candidate below, sorry to hear that. Did they send you an official rejection letter? Did you go through the interviews? Best of luck in other schools

Absolutely ridiculous excuse to reject, “you have over represented our diversity quota.” I am better off to States. I am from Pakistan by the. Proud to be one.
