Hey guys! I’m currently in my A2 and really want to do Accounting and Finance from Lums. The problem is I’m not sure if my sat score is good enough to get admission in ACF since I’ve heard that’s their most competitive school. If anyone could let me know what my prospects for getting into Lums acf look like, I’d be really really grateful!
Olevel grades: 4A*s 5As
Sat score: 2060
Haven’t given As but my A1 transcripts are pretty decent. As and Bs mainly.
You have very decent grades and you have a pretty good SAT score for LUMS. If you’re still worried and want to increase your chances more you can always give the SAT again. What do you mean you havent given As? It kind of goes against your favor if you havent given As levels yet, I dont suppose you’re applying this year, right?
Yes I am applying this year but i haven’t given AS level. I’ll be giving Alevels together this year.
Thanks for the advice tho!
Well, that’s okay to do! Im applying to LUMS as well, I’m currently giving my As and A levels together right now for the october/november exams and Im self studying for all my subjects. It is very difficult, yes. I made some mistakes with choosing my As level school and made the decision to not attend that school anymore as they screwed up my grades. but im making up for them and im happy with myself and im sure lums will say yes to me. So dont worry dude, they’ll give you a conditional offer however it is a downer for you as they wont have legitimate as level grades to predict you on. You should give you sat again and increase your score and give a sat subject if you can, but if you get a higher sat score alone, like 2250+ you wont have any issues, even if you do not give a sat sub.
Not giving AS isn’t a problem actually since lots of schools in Pakistan don’t offer AS levels. Our internal grades for A1 are sent to the universities that we are applying to so thats fine actually. Also i did give sat 2 in chemistry but i didn’t really study for it at all so got a 730.
Also if you just screwed up your alevel grades, don’t worry too much about that! Lums only requires a BBC so i’m sure you can get that.
