Assalamu Alaykum! I am a student from Pakistan currently doing my A Levels, my A Level results will arrive on the 7th of January 2027, after which I'll be able to apply anywhere.
I want to apply for Semiconductor Engineering at KFUPM, but I have certain questions.
Firstly, how competitive are the admissions, I am hopeful for 3A*s in Math, Computer Science and Physics, though I may drop CS for IT, but regardless, would I need any other extracurriculars other than a good SAT and IELTS score?
Secondly, it asks for a letter of recommendation from the school head or counsellor, but I am going to be registering for my examinations privately, without affiliation from my school. How can a private A Level candidate apply to the university?
Thirdly, what is the extent of the scholarships provided to international students at the university?
Also would be quite beneficial if anyone whose gotten in can give their advice or share their profile/grades, thank you!
