The majors are decided in 2nd year.

The majors are decided in 2nd year.

Yeah.
Do we get to choose the major then or do they divide the students merit wise? :/

Not sure. But this is what most of the Lumnites tell me.

Oh well, the important thing right now is getting in

A friend of mine who applied for financial aid has GOT THE DECISION!!....he has been offered admission but denied financial aid on the basis that his documents for FA are incomplete...

:O n for which program he is offered??

 

[chirpy]

But don't they make the call at your home to submit the missing documents, many students have missing documents!
How can they reject like this. Weird!

 

[chirpy]

Oh btw anybody, wanted to know, those who get aid, is it like one time waiver , or semester wise, like this 25% waived each semster, then does it extend to the subsequent years or is it only for the first year. What lums's rules are with the aid.

They do, but it says in the mail that if you dont submit the documents before the deadline, your financial aid request will be canceled.
Maybe the guy missed their calls and the mail

 

[chirpy]

uh oh could you please tell what was the deadline for all the aid documents this time around, oh btw just asking, because if you go back in this thread somewhere, a girl who got in around in june , said she had a call to submit her some documents regarding fa in may.
so i think it's like when they consider you they call you and then give you a short period deadline to send all the missing docs, but the normal deadline for it is just the same as that of application

SBASSE.......and he is not going cz he needed aid n lums denied it:-(

 

[chirpy]

But ask him why he didnt submit all docs or didnt he get a call from lums, cause i know someone who did get the call, as in like someone needing it so bad , that dropping out for having it denied, must have been serious enough with aid application n stuff

 

[Adeel Ahmed]

Yeah.

Your major depends upon your GPA of first 2 semesters...if you meet the criteria set for a particular major,u get the desired major..

I haven't yet asked him ALL the details but i suggested him to call lums and clarify....

[chirpy]

Yea , incase they never informed him, cause it's normal for lums to call the students if one goes back in this thread it just tells that. but even otherwise lums is so cash-strapped it would still not give the aid to many i guess

I got the call on 7th April I think. Deadline was 9th. I scanned and emailed the documents. Then they called again on 10th and said that the scanned documents werent visible enough when they printed them, so we TCS'd them the photocopies on 10th or 11th. :/

yes,with the facilities they provide,they need the money to function.....also there is NOP programme....LUMS must be under financial constraints..

 

[chirpy]

@47247 ,Ya you were given a renewed deadline and so are others who miss some docs, thats why i asked, and just could be the reason for the delay in sending out the offers to fa applicants.

 

[chirpy]

lums actually gets the aid money from orgs, including usaid, i saw its name on hec site somewhere regarding usaid. But iwonder despite charging whooping amounts there are still running short.
