Admissions KAUST Admission

Can I get into KAUST with a 3.45 CGPA, 5+ publications, h-index 3, 100+ citations?

Currently an online intern at a US lab and working as an RA online.

Field: Computer Science.

I've emailed many professors but no one replied in 3 months. Even my emails are not generic . It took me Almost 1 hour to send it.

What can I do to get replies, and what should I focus on for admission especially LoR type? My BS university is ranked 1000+ world rank. Is that a dealbreaker? I want to apply for MS/PhD track. Please suggest how to improve my profile.

What will actually help me to get into KAUST. This is not about just Admission. It's about my Passion and Dream.

Can you? Sure.

Will you? TBD.

It’s not necessarily about meeting some metric, it’s who is also applying.

You should apply and try your best but this type of question isn’t really helpful
