LUMS Fall 2020 Admissions (Mega-Thread)

I believe in one of their previous livestreams they said it should start around 15th or 16th April

Did anyone get a call or an email from Lums asking about their gap year???

@neonhoudinii yup. I did too.

I did take a gap year but I haven’t received any emails or calls so far.

@neonhoudinii @theuman67 did either of you get a chance to ask about when the decision will be out?

Nope, I only received a mail a fortnight ago saying that they’ll complete/finalize my FA by 5th if the lockdown is opened by then. But it wasn’t, so lets see.

@Shah500 i did ask em (particularly for the 2nd round). They, however, said that they’d inform me about that “after the commencement of the university”.

@Shah500 i saw this livestream on FB where they said that they’ll try to send out decisions for the 1st round from the 15th of April.

I really hope they end up coming out on the 15th, it is way too much anxiety for me to handle.

I read somewhere that applying to competitive field in lums you need above average grades . Above average SAT scores would be around 1350 but what are above average o level/matric and As level/fsc grades ?

@Shah500 heyyy! Bro which school are you from? Hope u don’t mind my asking :slight_smile:

Hey im from Lacas, what about you? Havent seen you on this thread before. So would you mind introducing yourself abit? Like which school are you from, your credentials and what schools did you apply to in lums?

I think above 90% in matric and above 85% in fsc part 1 would be enough to get into a competitive school. Moreover, if you have good marks in matric and fsc then your SAT score doesn’t even matter much. Like, last year, a student with SAT score of 1240, 91% matric, and 90% fsc part 1 got into SDSB.

I know someone who had 1170 got into sdsb but his matric and 1st years marks were extraordinary.

Hey, so how are your schools doing the whole expected grades thing.Mine hasn’t said anything yet

The exact specifics of deciding the grade are confidential so the only info we have on it is what cambridge released that students will be allocated grades and then ranked within thise specific grades.

hello, ive applied to SDSB 1st preference and Econ 2nd preference. I had 4A*s and 5As in my O’evels, 1390 in SAT and a 41/45 predicted IB. I think I have decent enough ecs and ps.
What do uall think of my chances?

With decent ecs and ps i think you should easily get in. So hope for the best!

Decision will start coming out from tomorrow as they mentioned in their live video??? Anyone have any idea regarding this?

All we can do is hope tbh we got no other info besides that
