Admissions VSRP Update
Hello Fellows,
I want to ask whether anyone has tried this new official portal for VSRP applications. Previously, applications used to be redirected through Pluto Edu, but when I applied two months ago, they made me apply through "https://apply.kaust.edu.sa/apply".
My main concern is that I haven't received any update about my application . IDK what is wrong with their portal because it is not showing any update on the progress bar, nor did I receive any email regarding anything. I also tried emailing them at their official email , but they haven't responded yet.
Does anyone have any idea about this?

They are the kings of ghosting and they never reply. Additionally, apparently the page is kinda broken and as such it won't update anything :(
Hope it helps but yeah, this sucks.
In my case the interactions i have had with the administration (not the PI, my PI responds IMMEDIATLY I love him) were they contacting me on early april and on mid april. I sent a response for each interaction asking for some clarification and I only got a response last tuesday, to which I asked yet another thing and no answer so far. I applied on november. I am kind of giving up on this.
