hey,
firstly, it is important to have very very very strong academic background.
secondly, good performance in your LCAT.
thridly, make sure you fill in the admission form properly and diligently.
fourthly, and most important is that you DO WRITE YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT.

the better you do in the latter themore bright are your chances of getting in..

what score should be good in LCAT. and 5 A's in olevel and straight A's in Alevel will be a strong academic background? will it meet the criteria for admission...i want to be a sports journalist so which coarse will be most suitable for me to study in Lums?
and which career paths will be open for me ,if i opt for politics and economics undergraduate coarse. kindly help

Okay, thats surprising that you want to be a jounalist and you want to go for studies which are designed for the commerce related jobs. My very sincere advice would be that you should take up some journalism course. There are many universities like SZABIST (KHI), IQRA (KHI and Lahore) which give degrees in Mass Communication, Journalism,etc. You should rather focus on these kind of courses rather than just going for the fancy names and end up in crossroads..

Yes, LUMS is amongst the leading academic institutions in South Asia. Not only Lums but also Iqra University providing undergraduate, graduate, PhD and executive programmes. Many students have written essay about iqra university and LUMS.

5A's is a knive's edge, but ahhh, worry not, get a minimum of 3Bs and pour ur heart in Lcat, for that do Sat1 maths and objective english. Do as many Sat's question as u can, for further assistance u can pm me.

 

[Ghazna12]

But i suggest u to get a hand on extra subjects, sounds not-okay at this stage? But worry not this will guarantee ur admission

thanks a lot..will try pouring my heart in LCAT for sure :lol:
but i told u my question is dat can u apply on the basis of AS result private candidate. ok so u say i shud be doing alevel in at least 4 subjects.

 

[Ghazna12]

Lol ,No!
I meant get a hand on a few extra Olevels. Well yeah do give 4 Alevels, the forth one can be Urdu.

 

[Ghazna12]

Solid boy : you can apply on Sat1 basis, get a v good score in it ; 2100/+ that's a score which guarantees ur admissiom.

LUMS is not an ivy. 2000 in SAT 1 is gud too. Just break 2000. Taking 2100 isn't easy.

With a gud score in the maths section.

 

[solidboy123]

i get around 700-720 (and 780 once) in math section but the problem is in english sections espicially, so i am worried, and just 3 weeks left for my final try

 

[ZohaibAsad]

650 and above in English is more than fine

 

[solidboy123]

there are 2 sections in one section it is possible but not in the other for me to get

 

[solidboy123]

suppose i have less then 2000 but above 1940 then what are my chances

 

[ZohaibAsad]

Gud enough. As long as ur other grades are good. Maths is important. Keep it above 700

 

[solidboy123]

I have 4 a stars and 3 b's in o level ; 2 a's and 1 B in AS
