Moroccan student interested in Smart & Sustainable Cities at KFUPM, do I have a real chance?
Hello everyone,
I’m a Moroccan student currently in my final year, and soon I will graduate with a diploma in home automation and electricity. My background is mainly related to:
Electrical systems, home/building automation, smart buildings, and energy management interests
Recently, I became very interested in the Smart and Sustainable Cities field at KFUPM because it matches a lot of my interests in smart infrastructure, sustainability, automation, and future technologies.
However, I’m honestly worried about one thing: my high school grades were not very high. My current technical studies and practical skills are much better than my old academic results, but I don’t know how much KFUPM focuses on high school performance versus technical background and motivation.
So I wanted to ask people who know the university or have experience with admissions:
- Do I realistically have a chance of being accepted?
- Does KFUPM value technical profiles and practical experience?
- Is it worth applying, or would it just be a waste of time and money?
- What can I improve to increase my chances?
I would really appreciate honest advice and experiences from students or graduates.
Thank you very much!
