LUMS Fall 2019 Admissions (Mega-Thread)

@neekastic there was just one other girl on here with me who was giving her exams this year and idk if she got a decision yet.

@neekastic Really? Didn’t hear about any in May tho. I guess maybe fewer people left out seats.

@ha1999 I relate to that messed up mental health thingy on a realll bad level. But again LUMS is so damn unpredictable I keep asking people but I’m never sure.

@neekastic my personal statement was so much about chem the major I opted for so I don’t think hss wanted to have me ?

@neekastic plus I don’t know how much it weighs in on your app

@ha1999 what are your backup plans?

@ha1999 yr a girl Ik from FSc got in with a gap year and okayish credentials yr. she applied last year as well and got rejected.

@neekastic I’m in the same boat here dude. No idea what they want. Things would’ve felt a little clearer if we weren’t gap students. Then at least we’d know. Here people with less credentials are being accepted and we still don’t know.

@ha1999 mid May or like the 3rd week quite a few acceptances came.

@neekastic I’m a first round applicant tho, and like do the rejections come for both rounds in June?

@ha1999 yr honestly if LUMS is really about the ‘hashtag meri matters’ then you’ll get in definitely you’ve got good credentials

@ha1999 there’s no date for rejections. I know people who’ve already got their rejection not much but there were a few. Kher idk if the Mid June thing is true.

Merit*

@neekastic Probably fast because I’m from Lahore and I don’t want to go out of city. I spent a month at NUST last year because they didn’t ask for A level grades I didn’t have any uss time, but just a trial to see. I got in materials there and it sucks big time if you’re a girl. Idk but a lahori can’t just easily settle there. They have communal bathrooms I was on the 4th floor no AC’s and it just sucked

@neekastic Then maybe they have yet to stumble upon our applications.

@neekastic I don’t think it’s all about merit matters at all. I think there’s something else which we clearly don’t know. Maybe to an extent the merit thing is true, maybe not.

@neekastic ugh same! Many people here said they’ve heard about rejections including @StudyBuddy0 and @Universeeeeee.
Guys did they meet the minimum requirements tho?

@ha1999 really? How is NUST with the program like other than hostel and settling in, everything was good?

@ha1999 yr agr it’s about only merit then merit doesn’t need to be hidden. But there definitely other things they consider. Otherwise it would’ve been simpler

@ha1999 the two guys I know had really good grades and got rejected. Idk about others
