Hi everyone!

I recently submitted my VSRP application for this summer, and I have a few questions:

1. The VSRP website directed me to submit my application through the Office of Admissions portal rather than PlutoEdu. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it unusual?
2. I reached out to Prof. Rueping but haven’t received a response yet. On his website, he mentions that prospective interns should contact him directly, so I’m a bit unsure, should I be concerned about the lack of reply?
3. For those who have applied before, when can I realistically expect to hear back from KAUST? I submitted my application on April 15.

I’d really appreciate any guidance or shared experiences.
Thanks in advance!
