LUMS admission decisions!!

[Ali250]

This is just the first round of results. From what I've heard there are 2 more rounds of results due for May.

Via Email? I received my rejection letter via TCS.
btw, the people who get letter the first are the geniuses, who ace their LCATs and score Straight As in O/A levels. but don't worry if your LCAT did not go well. You might get your reply in June/July. cos i received my rejection in the first week of July. Which means i passed the test but my result in Olevels wasn't good enough!

@khizarr1

How was your LCAT?? Matric/O level Percentage?? FSc/A Level Percentage??

[Fir3d3mon]

wait what!??! they send rejection letters too? so those who have experience in this before tell me what are my chances of admission...had 9As in O lvls...didnt appear for AS and the transcript sent from school wasnt much good infact it was crap..SSE test went okayish...made some blunders especially in trying to answer those questions jinka i wasnt sure of the correct choice even though i knew about negative marking

well i haven't gotten anything yet

on your online account go to application status

They dont sent rejection letters, atleast not for SSE, of that i am sure.
And there is no PASS or FAIL for test.
And does not matter how good you did in O levels, if you screwed entry test, there is no way you are getting in. If they were admitting on bases of O levels/ extra curriculars then there wouldnt be an entry test.
So if you Aced entry test, then grades don't matter, extra curricular dont matter.

About 200 students are send acceptance letters in first round. Many of these are medical students, they reject the offer.
To fill these seats there is a second round of admissions in June-July.

ITS THAT SIMPLE.

[Fir3d3mon]

my account says admission status is In Process...if i had been rejected would it say rejected?or is this their way of sugar coating it and it does actually mean rejection?

[YamHEad]

May be it means that the first batch of decisions have not been sent yet or perhaps that you are waitlisted.

I received a rejection letter. no idea about SSE, i applied SHSSL.
and i never said they take in students solely on the basis of their previous academics. what i meant was, if you did not do well in LCAT, not good enough to get an acceptance right away then they do consider your application but if there's a student who had a score somewhat similar to yours then the student with better grades in O/A levels will be preferred.
And yes, if you aced LCAT, then no body's stopping you from getting in.
@Xero i got 4As in Olevels and 3Bs in AS.
@Fir3d3mon my test didn't go very well too. i did not know what i was doing in English. and i did the same thing, marked answer to those questions i had no clue of and didn't even think for a second about negative marking, regretted it alot. but Maths went extremely good, except for a few questions, i was dead sure i got the rest right and maybe that took them so long to reject my application. So i believe, if i had scored 6 or more As in Olevels and did better in AS, i would've got an acceptance letter.
