Werent u going to do medicine? Anyways the test is all they care about, trust me when I gave the SSE test it went bad for me too but still I got in. Hopefully you will get in too. Also as a side note always write proper English in the essay cause thats what they prefer rather than writing English with vocabulary yet lacking sense.

SSE, thanks btw.

Yeah it happens the same with everyone.
Another thing is that now the competition at SSE is too harsh. Just 25-270 seats for a pool of 30-40k!
I had 8As in O level and my test went normal. Applied for full aid though.

I was pretty optimistic about LUMS.... Until I read this thread :p

Abhi tak tou I was thinking I'd get in. Now, I'm not so sure. :confused:

Anyway, I'm not really interested in LUMS so I guess whatever happens, it's fine ;)

tip to students: if anyone of u have to choose between lums or any other university (even nust, uet).. always always choose lums (of course if u can afford to study there)..

I didn't get in. Repeated, still didn't get in. :hah:

Anyways, my english portion went great, the MCQ's as well as the essay part. It was chemistry and math that scared me.

Haha why is that so?
No one should have high expectation from LUMS. My friends with 8-10A*s got rejected from LUMS. God knows how they decide their merit.

Well I can safely say they decide only on the basis of the test since some of my friends with 6As in O levels are still here whereas a guy with 14A*s isnt. And asking for aid is suicide if you really can afford it since they immediately put you on a separate pile when you ask for aid, and yes if u can afford it LUMS is a good option though I am here and I feel disappointed by the same rote learning GPA oriented parhai. :p

nice insights...I have a query,Do they consider the FA application after the main application,like a student gets selected and then they consider FA matters??

Once you get in and show a good GPA they may offer you a merit scholarship but it is very rare since people are usually getting 4.0s very easily. Also as far as need based scholarships are concerned u have to apply for them when u apply to the university, that means financial aid applicants need to send their forms with the same application form that u send when u apply as a regular admission. Well they dont have a separate form for Financial Aid. They just have an additional side to the form. Also it doesnt decrease ur chances to get in, I just said that when u apply for Financial Aid they have a separate pile for all those students and then they compete with themselves since all universities have a certain number for scholarship applicants and the rest are those who pay.

Please note, there is a scholarship dedicated to people who are living in remote areas which is called N.O.P. Try finding out about it since it pretty much has alot of seats and the criteria is largely based on whether ur financially not that stable. And above all else if u can afford LUMS then dont ask for aid, many cheaters often potray themselves as beggars(yes I know people in their freshman batch who have done this) and try to scam the uni into thinking they deserve it. You might as well be taking someones else's future down the drain. :D

Thanku :) ni bhai actually i got a few calls from them regarding "FA" documents and decisions...they called me to send some additional docs...so i was wondering as i think they consider FA separately i.e i may get admission but without FA,i can apply for external scholarship then or plan to sell part our capital..so what do u reckon?

Well the department that considers Financial Aid decisions are separate so they often ask for stuff like utility bills and other docs even after u send in ur applications but suppose they reject u on ur financial aid application then they still offer you a position at LUMS provided u are a good enough student. Since their FA department is separate they dont interfere in ur general application. But like I said FA is very competitive and so alot of people fail to meet the grade. That being said you are right in saying that they consider FA separate but if u are an NOP scholar "that is a type of financial aid scholar" then ur position financially also comes into play when u apply to LUMS (they consider people from remote areas to have less proficiency in English so they mark the essay you wrote very leniently, however maths and science skills are considered the same). :D

Ahan thankyou...i thought pehly admission decision ajata hai phr FA application dekhi jati hai but hmein pehly inform ni keea jata balkeh total decision baad mein send krte hain ...guess it was a khaam khayaaali of mine:(((((((( xDDD

Like adm department accepts the student then the App is forwarded to FA committee...common sense and khyali pulao tell me why would they bother going over FA requests of each and every student... :DDD

The process is simultaneous. Both run together and not all people apply for FA. And not all FA requests are forwarded and the FA only needs a short background check of ur credentials, nothing deep. Only requests that are accepted are later worked on.

Well no one can tell you if u have a chance since LUMS admission process is very varied, like I gave the example of 14A*s boy. But then again as far as FA is concerned it depends on ur financial situation. They take into account how many cars u have and whats ur electricity bill etc and then decide. Well I dont know if Iskanderabad is a remote area or not but whatever the chance may be it is best to pray for success cause u never know even with shitty grades LUMS might accept anyone with whatever qualifications or in any situation. :D

Iskanderabad actually is a remote area...an industrial colony basically...

Yaar anything can happen. Its just best to remain positive and pray alot, atleast thats what I did. And inshallah you will get an admission in LUMS. Even if u dont always remember Allah always has something better planned for us. You never know what could happen. ;)
