Hi! This is a compilation of questions from people interested in GU-Q.
How hard is it to get in? I’ve heard that the acceptance rate is around 20%, but could anyone perhaps share their accepted profiles? And if it were to compare with other colleges (I know its not a good idea), but would it be t20, t30, t40 or t50 level in terms of difficulty?
Also, how’s the experience? I’ve heard that the professors are great and so are the living conditions, but what about culture/politics/freedoms etc? (no offence intended, just curious) Also, what’s the makup of the student body, e.g. locals vs international students, gender etc.
Lastly, any advice for the application process? I read on the website that theres little difference between ea and rd. Is this true? Also, what are some of the parts you would say are especially important for the apps apart from gpa and ecs, e.g. standardized testing/written work/interviews. Also about financial aid! Is aid from GU-Q need blind? It isn’t explictly stated on the website. And how does the aid work with Qatar Foundation?
I know it’s a lot and we’d all be very grateful if the CC community could gradually answer them! Feel free to add questions as well! Thank you in advance!
