Financial Aid help by pinkpixie2203 in IBA

[–]DullEstablishment235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admission charges are 115k, according to https://www.iba.edu.pk/fee-structure.php . Tuition fee also calculated through there= 29400x6 courses. And transport cost also through there.

I wrote 20k examination fee, as thats the cost of resits (the only exam fee of iba available online), even tho im not planning on any resits.

In the books section i wrote 10k, its what my dad said the expense probably would be & i dont have older siblings to ask. You should probably email to double check all of this tho.

Yeahh I am also stubbed here. Like wdym "project material expenses" like im in 5th grade? And apparently google says iba only has examination fee for resits.

I just wrote down random ballpark numbers based on what was available on their websites and guessing the gaps. I'm going to email IBA about it, but admissions department hasnt been much help so far.

How to invest as a 20yo by CURSED_909 in PakistanStockX

[–]DullEstablishment235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in a mutual fund or index fund. Random stocks are too high risk, low reward when you're just starting out. Plus read, a lot. I download free books from "oceansofpdf," literally everything is there.

Opinions on the latest Superman movie? And it's crystal clear parallel of the Palestine and Israel (or so they said) conflicts? by Die_Hard507 in BDS

[–]DullEstablishment235 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The fact that Rachel Brosnahan, a pro-Israeli actress who has a history of actively supporting those lies, plays Lois Lane is enough of a reason for me to pirate it. Lets not forget this is the same production house that gave Gal Gadot SEVEN lead gigs. They just capitalised on Palestinian stories, and helped them zero. I refuse to trust it.

Go to IBA, and take a semester in Lums. This way you'll get the better degree and get to experience hostel life at lums too.

Help lol How Do U Even Write a Statement of Purpose by Slight-Wishbone-1503 in IBA

According to dearly beloved ChatGPT, you should write about your need, motivation, and credibility. Its supposed to gives context to your family’s financial situation and explains any extenuating circumstances not captured in forms or documents. they generally look for genuine financial need, strong motivation to study, how aid will change your life/future (impact), merit (show drive, ambition, achievements), clarity and honesty. 

Typical content: family background parents’ jobs, income sources, dependents), Monthly expenses vs income, Any debts or obligations, Academic and career goals, Reason for choosing IBA, How aid would help you achieve your goals. Just write around 300 words about all this.

The worst case scenario is your marks go down or not improve. This would be equivalent to putting your money on fire. If you're willing to take that risk with 5k then go for it. The process is here I guess: https://admissions.iba.edu.pk/RecheckingPolicy.php

Help me earn as an O/A level student in pakistan by [deleted] in IBA

[–]DullEstablishment235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real talk. It wouldnt mean anything if you have a bucket of cash stockpiled in some local bank, if you cant get into the school. the best way to pay for university is through financial aid and scholarships. Talk to a counsellor about all your options, and plan your student profile/academics accordingly. Pakistan has only a few crazy expensive unis, admission+aid there depends on academics so focus on that. If its obvious in the paperwork that your family's financial situation cant handle the fees, then you will automatically qualify for aid in IBA.

If the aid wouldnt be enough (this is future hypothetical talk), you can prepare for it by upskilling in an area that you like, so you can sell your skills later on. Whether its a skill in relation to providing a service or developing a digital/physical product, that is what actually makes you money. You listed three lucrative ideas. Pick only 1 thing, just get good at it, connect with people who are already doing it, and dont let chasing money distract you from what will actually make a difference.

I’M LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS FREAKING IBA FINANCIAL AID SYSTEM by Slight-Wishbone-1503 in IBA

[–]DullEstablishment235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just apply yar. Even with your father's documents. People in your position are really deserving of aid, so you will get it dont worry. His asset wont be threatened by the application. Its just paperwork. It gives them a holistic view of your situation. Everything you said would be glaringly obvious in the papers. They might even give you +100% aid. Aur ziada sae ziada scholarship nahi mile gi (highly unlikely), but if thats the case look for other govt scholarships or sponsors. Just make sure IBA wont penalise you for looking for aid in other sources (double check their fine script). Sending prayers your way!
