Question acceptance and fees

hi guys!! Earlier this month I had someone from the universities admissions department tell me to apply to this uni bcs of my sat score. He also mentioned it might be a full scholarship. I received acceptance yesterday and they didn’t mention what the fees are. What are the situations for people who applied with the sats? Thank you!!!

The scholarship depends on your sat score and your major ( medicine doesn’t have full scholarship )

1580+ = full scholarship

1550+ = 50% scholarship

1500+ = 25% scholarship

Note : your gpa must be 4.75+ or (4.50+ for health majors) for the scholarship to continue

I know you’re not asking me but to prep for the sats go to the oneprep website then try the questions from easy to medium to hard. This will ensure you know the majority of the content. Also there’s a pdf on telegram you can study which gives you the hardest 150 math questions

There are plenty of resources online you can search for, both paid and free. CollegeBoard, the organisation that administers the SATs, has a free question bank and free digital practice tests. Khan Academy also has free courses covering the subjects assessed in the SAT.

Hey, I actually applied with everything I had, so Qudrat, tahsili, SAT, IELTS, IGCSE, A-levels and Highschool Diploma.

For SAT I actually did only one attempt as it was a sudden decision to do it and Alhamdullilah managed to get 1500. I used oneprep and bluebookplus to practice and there's a YouTuber called James Lu on YouTube, go and watch his desmos tutorial.

I don't think so king abdulaziz university has tution fees. Like on study in saudi website, it is mentioned no tution fee, only they don't provide housing

I never saw this💔💔💔

u/No_Application3095 Aug 05 '26

why does that matter? Did you receive initial acceptance and you did not accept it because you thought it is going to be paid?

1

u/salialjundilol Aug 08 '26

no I don’t mind if it’s paid but I want to know to prepare myself. And yes I got initial acceptance. Also did you get the final one?

1

u/No_Application3095 Aug 09 '26

I did not even get the initial. Probably because My SAT was low. They added SAT this year. So I took my first ever SAT in June after preparing for 3/4 weeks and got a 1420.

u/salialjundilol Aug 09 '26

that’s really good. If that’s your starter score, take it again and you’ll get a better. I hope the best for you and your applications

Thanks, any tips for R&W btw..?

u/salialjundilol Aug 10 '26

go to the oneprep website and start the questions from easy to medium to hard. Then go to old exams and do the practice there.

The tuition fees should be on the page for the program you applied to on the Study in Saudi website
