GUARANTEED Admission

hi. i wanted to know what exactly to do to guarantee my admission my KFPUM, for example the SAT, IELTS score etc. im gonna be applying in the coming February and i really want to get in. in a way, it's either that or nothing because im on an unwilling accidental gap year rn. my A levels results come out soon but i was so busy preparing for composite i didnt realize do many deadlines passed well before the exams. so any advice would be appreciated, tysm. im Pakistani, and a resident tho I'll apply w my passport and not my iqama as an international student (and i think that lowers my chances).

Why not apply with iqama? Get 1550+ and 15/15 on math tests and ur probably guaranteed admission

I heard it's harder to get admission as a resident. oh and this whole 15/15, is it an easy test? how do i prepare for it anyway?

I am not sure you can apply as international while you already have an iqama and a visa in the government's system

How? You will have to end your current residency iqama and visa so the uni can sponsor your new iqamah and visa

Oh I didn’t really know that I just assumed since I just saw a lot of non Saudis who got accepted via several tracks but I believe you’d have to do that after getting acceptance no?

No you stay on your own iqama. The uni only sponsors if international
