same here.
@Lar123 what about you?
Is there anybody whose processing status still shows waitlisted?
@Nammee mine still shows.
I got an acceptance from sahsol
Even I got into sahsol. Can’t decide between ACF from IBA or LLB from Lums. A friend of mine told me that we can transfer our programme after freshman year, but it would require good GPA.
@tednot what does your processing status shows?
Hello everyone. The next comment is for anyone who wishes to come to lums keeping in mind that they will get a school transfer. Copied from last years batch facebook group by a senior.
INTER-SCHOOL TRANSFERS
Hello Dear Members and Fresh Luminites, hope you are doing great. As it was observed in the group that a few Seniors have been saying that “Transfers from ANY school to the other have been closed”, I considered it important to be commented on and explained in a single long post so that the current environment of uncertainty ends.
LUMS School transfers worked on two grounds: -
- Availability of seats.
- GPA/Grades Cut offs.
Last year, due to non-availability of seats transfers to SDSB were totally banned. This decision came so late that it affected Career of a lot of Freshmen from my batch and they couldn’t transfer to SDSB at all. And as LUMS Batch size has been increasing every year, Transfer capacity of all schools has been decreasing simultaneously. Previously, a lot of students came to LUMS with an intention of transferring but couldn’t transfer due to low GPA or less seats, turned out very problematic for them.
As a result, Seniors participating in NOP 2018 report that LUMS administration has decided to lower the number of transfer seats in every school to almost none so that no one faces consequences afterwards. The Admin has also told them not to suggest anyone to take admission with a Hope of Transfer.
However, Transfer seats are not FINISHED, there will be a few let’s say 3-5 as compared to 20s or 30s but this amount is not reliable at all. Only those with high GPA close to 4.0 will probably get a chance and it cannot be considered an option. Aiming such high GPA is not easy at all and never considered a recommended option.
So, DO NOT GET ADMISSION WITH AN INTENTION TO TRANSFER TO ANOTHER SCHOOL. Explore all options other than LUMS and then make a wise decision. Interest matters the most in life. Choose a field based on your interest and leave the rest to Almighty. May you all get the profession of your choice. Thanks!
@Nammee saw your comment so thought I’d post this here. Wish you and everyone else the best of luck!
