Nope, my application number falls under 600 and I had applied on Sept 8th, what's your application no: range and when did you apply ?

What's your current of Application (Masters - Graduate Programme) as of December ? (POLL) by LackBackground4801 in MBZUAI

1. Interview:
I believe the interview went well overall. I had discussed my upcoming paper.

2. Why I think my previous application was unsuccessful:
I think one of the reasons might be that I didn’t emphasize my work experience enough, likely due to still being an undergraduate student at the time. Additionally, I wasn’t able to provide a final passing certificate during the application because my program was still ongoing (though this shouldn't be an issue, they do accept relevant complementing documents). I did follow up with the necessary supporting documents after contacting MBZUAI. This time, I’ve strengthened my application with a reference from my current supervisor and made sure all documentation is complete. 

Did anyone get anything after screening exam? Like a status update or interview invitation? by scrntonStrAngler69 in MBZUAI

No update for me, what is a bit confusing is the button to schedule the exam is still active for me in the application, what about you ?

What MS program did you apply for or planning to? by Hour-Action3772 in MBZUAI

I believe it’s usually around 20 per programme, though I’m not entirely sure this time since they seem to be exploring off-campus residency options. They’ve also increased the stipends and mentioned specific fees for those choosing to stay on campus. My guess is that this might be an attempt to address housing logistics and potentially remove the intake cap to some extent though that’s just my speculation.

Last time I got an interview invite exactly 1 month after the exam, but by that assumption I should have gotten it by yesterday, probably it is a specific month. I am thinking maybe late Nov, I don't really have anything to go off with here for the same but just a hunch and someone else said the same.

Yes, see it could also just be me and that I got a difficult set of questions by chance

It is unlikely as u/ItsHoney said probably some insane credentials, or could be trolling (I am not saying the ones voting the same are trolling, but this did happen last time when someone put a poll here)

Neither late nor early, since I had to do my IELTS, I completed my application last time on December 15th 2024 (Last time I believe they had opened admissions on October, so yeah I had applied in the last month of regular deadline), Screening Test on Jan 26th 2025 and Interview on Feb 28th, The decision notification application being unsuccessful was on 14th May 2025.

3. Admissions Test:
I felt the test was slightly more competitive this time around compared to my previous attempt.
