u/nuvilla

that really sucks i was hoping to apply for the spring semester, but apparently, it's only for Phd applicants.

i really planned my whole upcoming year around applying in Aug ☹️

what sucks even more is that we (ppl seeking Ms) have to wait about 4.5 months to get a decision, and then anothor 5.5 months to start [IF] accepted

thats alot of valuable time

can i enrol in the vsrp program while waiting?

(assuming im applying this September)

im fine when it comes to writing topics that i already know *just enough* about, but sometimes i face a topic that I can't generate any good points/ideas about, which gets me stuck for a while, stressing and wasting lots of time

any tips?

i dont have time to read about different topics and form ideas/opinions on them as i believe this won't be effective, it wont help me gain much info in a few days.

for example, i faced a topic about supermarkets importing goods from all over the world, is that a good or bad thing? if someone asked me this irl i would just say idk idrc its good for them ig, thats it

I've always been like this which isn't ideal iknow and its causing me lots of trouble rn, i wish to fix it in the future but it doesn't seem like this future will be soon ykwim?

does this affect my application? cuz im genuinely tired of paraphrasing sentences that ((( I ))) WROTE, i think its because im writing purely academic sentences in active voice? i dont know what the problem is, really

also, we're not supposed to use "my" or "I" which makes it even harder

any tips?

I'll make it short for yall:

4.86/5 GPA - Bsc in Biochemistry

applying for bioscience MSc program

● Participated in kaust academy once and reached stage 3 (bioinformatics)

● No publications - just have my graduation thesis (unpublished)

what do i need to work on if there's any?
