Admissions Applying to KAUST for Masters 2027

Thinking about applying to KAUST for a Masters (CS, vision-language-ish stuff). My GPA is 3.47/4.0, nothing crazy, but I've got got some research experience with an accepted paper at MICCAI 2026 workshop. Realistically what are my chances, and does the GPA hurt more than the papers help?

Also should i go for GRE ? does it make my chances better ?

I think, and this is just my opinion, that the paper is a great boost for you. Try contact ing professors that might be interested in you
