LUMS fall 2014 decisions!

[arsiss]

Hey guys... I really need ur advice. ... I applied for f.a but didn't get it so I'm confused now... I mean I don't want to put a burden on my parents but lums has been like my dream for idk how long...and now when I got selected..instead of being happy I was so damn deprrssed...anyways so should I try to go for nust or try my luck in medicine instead of joining sse or what? I really need an honest advice... because I'm confused..and I know it's damn hard to get into nust...I don't know what to do.

You can check out the USaid scholarships, a girl told me last year that they were willing to give her financial aid if she got into lums, I dont know the criteria and all but still you can check it out, and you can also think of taking a student loan if lums really is your dream, otherwise don't worry, nust is a good university too and if you study a little fsc you can definetly get in, IA

i know its a huge burden but if your parents can afford it somehow than i would say its not more imp than your future coz evryone knows that admission in nust or medicine is on chance and if (God forbid) you couldnt make up to it you will regret that you miss a golden chance.. on the other hand if its not possible to afford lums or you have a strong believe that you can get in nust than you may drop lums

Well yeah u r right.. thankyou

Haha well I dont think so I'll clear the NUST test because I've seen my extremely nerdy friends score hardly a hundred and ten... and tbh I don't even know how I cleared the sse test... but I'm still thankful to Allah for it.... so well idk my mom is there but still I don't want toput a burden on her but yet again I'll rrgret it if I don't join lums

cheer up, the fact that you got in means a lot as well, it was a tough test
and for NUST, A-levels students have difficulty because they have never done the fsc syllabus, if you can study it just once then you will definitely get in, Ive seen their test and it is pretty easy

lums' judgement criteria is different from that of nust.. lums not only consider your previous academic record and entry test performance but also your personal statement while nust only consider the first two with high % of 2nd option.. if your etest go wrong than you should forget the admission.. (I hardly got 105 )

I'm not completely sure about it but that's what she told me, if I find out anything else I will definitely let you know

I got 11A* and 2 A' but C in English
And 6 A's in my AS

They rejected me too :'(

They 're just ******* bastards >_<
Indeed I got acceptance from many other International universities.
I can show you the acceptance mail from University of Toronto, yet I got 20% scholarship only.

How do u know you're rejected? Was your portal updated? Or did you receive a letter by post? And how was your lcat/sse?

 

[Bilal.]

yes they asked me about some missing documents and also about what i was doing in my gap year

Hi.
What did you do in your gap year, by the way?

I got an admission in SSE last week, but I got just 20% Financial Aid, with which I can't afford LUMS.
If anyone knows about some scholarship programs or student loans that I could apply for please let me know?

Hey, congrats on getting in, there are some student loans offered by the government in collaboration with a few banks like habib and mcb, you can check that out, i don't know much about it though sorry

 

[mary121]

what were your grades?

Well,I worked as an intern and on two studies on health awareness, gave my SATs, completed my arts portfolio, and worked in a couple of voluntary activities like fund raising and health camps and free tuitions and some other stuff with red crescent and I'm learning to play the guitar, tha'ts about it I guess, and of course the entry tests and forms and all

Oh, nice! They emailed me asking about mine, like, 4 days after lcat, but all I did was refer them to the personal statement I wrote for the application. They never replied.
You mentioned missing documents, did you apply for Financial Aid? Because I didn't, and they didn't call me or anything.

Yes I did apply for FA, and maybe you should email them once, I sent my essay with the application

No, I sent it with my application, too. I'm just saying that they asked specifically about my gap year through email. I'd written all about it in that essay I sent with my application, so I replied asking them to read my essay. It shouldn't matter I think, right?
