Hey Hassan,

I think there is a mistake in your GRE scores, perhaps a typo.

Go to KAUST website, look for a professor that you would like to join his research team and then write him an email. I am sure you have done this; however, if you have not, then please quickly do it.

The people are not Nigerians. One is a Ghanaian and the other is a Cameroonian. What I would say about the SOP thingy is that you should try and flatter KAUST and its professors, but don't overdo it. Show enthusiasm and the desire to continue to a PhD at KAUST and eventually become a world class researcher. Even if this is not your plan, just bobo them well.

I helped revise the SOP of someone who successfully got into KAUST and the above hints were what I incorporated into the SOP. In addition, make sure that your letters of recommendation are shiny and that the writers compare you to students they taught while abroad. KAUST is an international environment and because of this, it would be very nice for your professors to present you as an internationally capable person.

There is this school in Dubia. It is very similar to KAUST. Don't forget to also try it.


Truly yours,
T22.
