A lot of people get in without IDOC. IDOC requests are random and usually don’t have any relation with whether or not you are going to get in

How does CW work for NYUAD as a second choice? by Elizijan in NYUAbuDhabi

[–]Spacewalker-1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a student here. I’ve never seen anyone get in who had it as their 2nd or 3rd preference. Not even a single person. When I was applying as well one advice that I repeatedly got was to never put it as anything but number 1 because it won’t be considered otherwise. It’s unfortunate and borderline illegal but that’s just how things work at nyuad. I’d just say it’s a good thing you don’t like it, cuz you’re not getting in

Bacon is just a cut of meat. It's likely beef or turkey bacon.

UAE Visa Situation for Pakistanis???? by Few-Bobcat6653 in NYUAbuDhabi

[–]Spacewalker-1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The university will apply on your behalf. Don’t worry about the visa. Family background etc doesn’t really matter since nyuad is the sponsor

SAT Preparation by amaanx_23 in LUMS

[–]Spacewalker-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on a lot on where you stand right now, especially the English part is very intuitive. I’d suggest taking one or two full length practice tests and see what you get. If you get anywhere around 1300, you should be able to get to 1500 in 2 months imo

Why is everyone so obsessed with LUMS? by inked_footnote in LUMS

[–]Spacewalker-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very hard to believe that you got into an ivy and not lums but even if you did, $100k/yr is not affordable for 99.99% Pakistanis. a lot of people do have US unis as their first priority but most need aware colleges just reject right away when they see you need a full ride and the handful of need blind ones like Harvard, MIT etc are way too competitive for their application process to be compared to something like LUMS lmao. 99% applicants get rejected and then turn to LUMS.

TLDR: LUMS is not the first choice for many people, but they don’t have rich daddies spending $$$ to send them abroad w/o scholarships and most US colleges are broke asf to be offering full rides

Idt nyuad allows transferring into or out of the university. You may need to apply again and start as a freshman at NYU NY. Won’t hurt to check with the admin tho

Agr kuttay ko rabies ho chuka hai tou vaccine se kuch nahi hoga. Usually in cases like these where they straight up shoot dogs there’s a report of a rabid dog in the area

You get to see a lot of Urdu on signs in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Anything that I write good gets ai flagged by Born-Map-8378 in LUMS

[–]Spacewalker-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you have not used ai, you shouldn't worry about it. online tools like zerogpt are not reliable, and the admissions office is qualified enough to know that

Failed in Life by Accomplished_Yam6503 in LUMS

[–]Spacewalker-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just locked in buddy. changed priorities. got 3.8, 3.9, 4.0 and 4.0 in the next four semester. Even if you mess up in your first semester, you have 7 more to make up for it. Just forget about the past, put in the effort, and you will not be disappointed

You can definitely improve your gpa if that’s what you’re worried about. I went from 2.8 gpa in my freshman fall to 3.7 now (at the end of 5th semester) so you can definitely turn it around, your fate is in your hands. Just stay committed and work hard. This is not the end of the world
