The official Pakistani Thread for the class of 2020

Well I just contacted MIT and told them about NUST :stuck_out_tongue: 
 They said it wouldn’t deter my prospects
 so yea no biggy

@millalexander19 Yes, I have applied to Duke. Have you, too?

@Extinguisher yep:)

Hi,
Im an American student in the US hoping to got to Aga Khan University in Karachi rather than stay here in the US. For someone who really wants to experience Pakistani culture, what would you guys (as Pakistanis) suggest? I know I would be much comfortable in the environment at AKU rather than a college here, but people say its tough for an American to adjust.

hey I’m applying to CS department of lums this year but i have noooo idea how to prepare for its SSE test :confused: somebody please help me cause I’m planning on applying to lums only. I have 7A*s and A in o levels, 2As 1B in as levels and 2000 SAT score. I do not want to waste my chances of getting into lums by failing a stupid subject test. somebody help me pleaaase

@sherlly1997 If you want to ditch SSE test, you can just apply to Business school for the first year and then transfer it to CS.
I heard that SSE test score doesn’t that much matter if you have a good SAT score, in that case you do.

Transfer from one school to another is a difficult task. It requires you to maintain a certain GPA. Transfer from Business to Engineering school can happen with a stroke of luck only if seats are available. Otherwise you’ll be stuck in the business school for the next 4 years. Give the SSE test but take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Anyone applying to US here?

@ZainSD Yes!
Does anybody know ED results from Pakistan?
LGS P5 - NYUSH and Upenn
LGS JT - Yale and NYUAD
Aitchison - Grinnell and Lafayette College
That’s all I know from Lahore.

Also ED2 results coming out this week. Lets hope for the best! iA

Most ED 2 results are coming out on 15th Feb.
@livinglife2020 Where did you apply ED 2?

Roots Islamabad: Hamilton College
I heard LGS paragon also got a few admission like from Vanderbilt.

@ZainSD
I applied Middlebury College.
Probably a rejection lol.
my SAT score is mediocre.
and there is no Vandy from Paragon. One guy from FSD got in.

I applied NYUSH. Hopefully an acceptance. From the other 17 in RD, most will be rejections.

@ZainSD lol I got into NYUSH in early. Aid package was poor.

Aitchison - Grinnell (me), Lafayette and NYUAD

@anaanramay Grinnell is amazing!
Did you get financial aid, if you applied for it?
I applied to Grinnell too but I doubt I’d get in.

I applied to Grinnell is well. Though most likely a rejection from them.

I need a good aid package as well. Hope I do :frowning:

@livinglife2020 Yes almost full aid! Told them i’d pay 6K, have to pay 3K now and that too for only travel and personal expenses. Grinnell is very generous with aid mainly because of Warren Buffet. Good luck man! A lot of people from Aitchison have applied as well! You can hit me up if you have any questions regarding Grinnell!

@anaanramay Well that’s great. What was your SAT score, if you don’t mind me asking. How many Pakistanis does Grinnell take each year?
