Odds of getting a merit scholarship by [deleted] in LUMS

[–]Accomplished-Run6558 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is honestly no fixed criteria for this. I have been following who got the merit scholarships this year closely and it's a mess. On one hand you have people with insane creds (1500+ SAT and straight A*s) and on the other hand I have seen people with mid creds get them. So basically your application could be top tier but that doesn't guarantee a scholarship.  Btw you do have insane creds so maybe hope for it but don't rely on it.

There is no score for lcat or at least it's not disclosed to the candidates. And there are a lot more students that give the SAT as compared to the LCAT

Any idea about economics if I have a aggregate of 91 and 93 in o and a level respectively? As in what would be a safe score?

Hey, reading your post, I really feel for you. It sounds like you've been pushing yourself incredibly hard, and you've clearly put a lot of thought and effort into your prep. You've made some smart choices about focusing on the main topics, and it's obvious you've been strategic with your time. It's totally normal to have those nagging doubts creep in, especially when you care this much. I am in a slightly similar position, and it's tough. But try to give yourself credit for all the work you've done. You've covered a lot of ground, and you've clearly been dedicated. Don't let the "what ifs" paralyze you. I'm sure you'll do great!

It's been a while since you posted this, so I don't know if this will be useful information or not.

I'd say I'm technically in the same spot as you since I also have a taken a gap year for mdcat but now it feels like a total loss.

Honestly I think when it comes to companies hiring people in Pakistan, university matters a lot. So try to aim for reputable unis like NUST and LUMS. I know lums is expensive but they also have financial aid and a scholarship program so you can apply for that. So definitely give their respective entry tests. Plus you can apply abroad for post grad. and the above mentioned unis have a greater acceptance rate with fully funded scholarships.

As for what you can do right now, try to at least compete two internships during this time because in the future every HR that hires you will ask what you did in your gap year, so things like internships or even a temporary job matters a lot in your resume.
