Umm Al-Qura

I am intending to apply to the Arabic Insititue in Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah inshallah. i have three very good references from known islamic personalities and organizations. they are from my local mosque, Croydon Mosque, Sheikh Qasim and Dr. Ahmed Dubayan.
Sheikh Qasim and Dr Dubayan are close friends Sheikh Sudais. i have excellent islamic background as well as exemplry character. i intend to apply one year earlier to when i finish college so it gives me time to prepare if i get accepted or rejected. i was wondering if any of the brothers or sisters could share their views of the University and give me tips and advice on making my addmission successful and what my chances are of being accepted in this university. i hope to gain addmission inshallah and ask brothers and sisters to make dua for me to gain the addmission.
Jazakallah

MAy Allah make you succesful, I too am going to apply Inshalah in a few years as right now im too young to do so I would like to know this too.

Mashallah - may Allah SWT accept this Jihad of yours.
Ameen

I have two friends they used to work at Umm Al Qura University.
