LUMS Fall 2019 Admissions (Mega-Thread)

Guys which university will place me in a good masters program abroad? LUMS or IBA assuming I perform well in both

I think LUMS has more foreign linkages than IBA…

@IjazSahab Really? I always hear IBA being the more prestigious business school with very famous alumni and sending students to top business schools like harvard, oxford, wharton etc.

my friend just got her acceptance letter

I’ve kinda given up now tbh. Applied to LSE and FAST.

@nerdforever7 don’t say that…there’s still time honey
And congrats to your friend :slight_smile:

I’ve applied to FAST and LSE too…but have hope
In sha Allah we’ll get good news from LUMS

InshaAllah InshaAllah. Thankyou @Lia101

The reason IBA having more know alumni is cuz it’s a much older institute than lums and gave time to there alumni to climb the corporate ladder…that’s my theory…also I hear a lot of full bright scholars are associated with LUMS…You can check their websites too for more info…

Don’t go to FAST…it’s horrible…

why @IjazSahab ?

does lse accept sat? is lse worth applying to? like it’s out of lahore and no hostels. i have applied to nbs and fast. i’ll be giving iba’s interview soon. still havent heard back from lums. @IjazSahab @neekastic @nerdforever7 ?

@nerdforever7 what are her creds? if u dont mind me asking obviously

Fast is a good university when it comes to Computer Science and related degrees but not that good for business management. Good BBA faculty and students are generally concentrated more in LSE, NBS, IBA, and LUMS. Even in Computer Science they really push students to limits- in fact, only around 50% of the students are able to complete their degree within the normal 4 years. So @IjazSahab is exaggerating by saying FAST is horrible but only by a little bit.

LSE doesn’t accept SAT they have their own entry test…and I might’ve exaggerated…but keep in mind that there is not much campus life aur tumhey danda daingai woh…FAST…GIKI is a good option too…

@kintamayy LSE is good. It has a good faculty I’ve heard. A senior of mine told me LSE is the second option for most of the Econ students who get rejected by LUMS. So yeah. I think LSE comes on second for me too and then NBS. I don’t know much about IBA neither have I applied for it. Also, LSE has a good value in job market.

Asad Umar went to IBA

Got accepted today, Alhamdulillah!

So many acceptances today in SSE and SDSB

@Hi2019 Congratulations! What time did your portal get updated???
