Question British Student - Aerospace Engineering
Assalamu Alaykum everyone I need your help,
I am applying to KFUPM from the UK. We have a very different system to apply to university in the UK, and the grades and things that you need to do to apply are super different.
Alhamdulilah I've got the highest grades achieved and predicted in the GCSEs and A-Levels which are our final exams and I've written up my personal statement, which universities look at to see how passionate you are about a subject.
I also have extenuating circumstances which universities here take into account before giving you an offer. They are basically things that happen during your studies that hinder your ability to perform properly (e.g. a medical reason or family member passing away). Does KFUPM take these into account too?
Unfortunately the one thing I kind of messed up on was my SAT, as I got a 1410. I'm also not in a position to resit it as I'm preparing for interviews for engineering courses here. However I am really confident I can get full marks on the KFUPM maths admissions exam, as the maths is way easier than the level I do at school.
Can someone let me know if KFUPM considers my "international statistics" holistically, or do the literally just look at SAT, maths exam results and passport?
Feel free to message me if you want me to clarify.
Jazakallah Khair.
