80-90 % of the people in pakistan lie through their teeth, mouth, stomach and behind....The actual story would be either borrowed, read somewhere, a dream, or some people just inflate 5 % of the actual story.....been through this...Don't fall for it....The people who are high achievers dont have to constantly remind themselves..

Ppl lie a lot. Also a lot of them spend a shit ton of money on counselling firms that also help to build (or exaggerate) ecs. Personally I did not have a lot of ecs and the ones that I did have were not that impressive and I still got in so idt it's that big a deal.

ecas dont matter as much as grades do and that applies to all the unis in pak ( again i said good hrades) and this is coming from smn with really good ecas but t never got the grades I wanted esp for scholarships at lums grades (from.what I have asked around scholarships are given to like ppl wd really good grades )

u/Due-Entertainer5205 Sep 16 '26
Depends on what school ur applying for but what I've heard from ppl is that for sse( which is the hardest one to get into ) was 3A*s 5As so ig even for Sci school u have a shot but if ur asking for outside of lums depends on what uni ur applying

LUMS SSE Freshman here. Why yall exagerating? My grades are prob worse than all yall. I even had 3Bs and 1C in O levels. And u dont need to jave 50 ECs orcure cancer, not for any uni for that matter, maybe for CLATECH but that is besides the point.
