<p>Maheen, congratz on the distinctions. </p>

<p>I would second others that a Pak university just can’t rival an American one. There is tremendous diversity, chances for research with professors who excel in their fields, and an opportunity to flourish as a person. I would say that the money you spend on college education in the U.S. would perhaps pay you the highest dividends. And I would personally prefer a U.S. college to one in U.K. or Canada.</p>

<p>Most graduate students in the U.S. actually get a stipend along with tuition waiver if they opt for teaching or research assistantships so your family won’t have to foot the bill for graduate studies as well. Just give undergrad your best shot and maintain your impressive academic record. Remain focused on your goals. Really sky is the limit and, provided you maintain your good study ethics, there is no reason why you cannot go on to enroll in the best PhD or masters program in economics!</p>

<p>Doing undergrad in UK and then Masters in USA is very much a practical option. Many people do undergrads in their own country and then go abroad for their masters.</p>

<p>Duke, why would you say that UK is better than USA? Many go to the Uk due to shorter distance, the course gets finished in 3 years only unlike in the States. UK has some very good academic programs and diversity as well.</p>

1303

<p>I meant USA is better than UK**</p>

1313

<p>@mohammadeht: Many of my friends did. </p>

<p>Instead of waiting why don’t you call and ask them?</p>

1314

<p>@Panda7 I am not sure they may like it. Anyways, they told me to wait until the first week of May. So, there is no point emailing them before that. Waise, main international student hun. Mujhe via post mile ga ya email? Please do me a favour and ask someone who got admitted.</p>

1315

<p>so no confirmed enrollments@trinity? and what about bard college?</p>

1316

<p>@Umair: None that I know of</p>

<p>@mohammadeht: They don’t know. None of them applied as international applicants. All of the local applicants got it by courier. LUMS has only sent it first wave of acceptances. It has to send at least one more.</p>

1317

<p>Trinity in texas or connecticut?</p>

1318

<p>@desi: Connecticut</p>

1319

<p>Should I put in my going to McMaster University in the list, provided that I’m still not sure whether I’ll get the visa or not?</p>

<p>LUMS walon acceptance letter bhejdo, don’t leave me hanging!</p>

1320

<p>Maheen, if I were you, I’d go for LUMS over Bryn Mawr simply because I’ve never heard of it and I’m sure my dad and uncle (who both went to really good colleges in the US) never heard of it, in which case they wouldn’t let me go there even if i wanted to. Going to grad school in the US after LUMS would be a really smart move.</p>
