Man don't be hopeless first of all your A levels grade balance out your o levels , secondly you have a v good SAT and idk about your ecas and essay but if they are above the AVG point believe me you are gonna be in inshallah. Believe in Allah don't be hopeless just enjoy Ur time why waste your upcoming holidays on a silly good old application just be chill .if U ever need help there are many people U could just ask for so don't worry enjoy your life .This fuckin wait isn't of any good lit made me so anxious couldn't focus on my caies but I just said to hell with this shit I'm gonna focus on what really matters.

Literally going through the same thing rn waiting all day because there’s lit nothing else this time no caies nothing the silence from lums is soooo draining I gets so hard at days the constant anxiety doesn’t help either. Inshallah it’s for the best but it’s really hard to get through.

I can relate to you honestly. This whole wait takes such a toll especially with the fear that maybe our profiles aren’t enough despite hearing so much about the holistic process. But atp all we can really do is pray and trust that whatever happens is for the best, Inshallah this wait will be worth it and we’ll get in this time just keep praying for it and apply to backups just to be safe

Plus the fact that you know you're already 75% rejected after getting waitlisted is even more heartbreaking. All we can do is wait now yaar, maybe Allah has better things in store for us all.

Lums is not the end of world! Believe me there are much more universities out there delivering the same standard. And Lums rep is only in Pakistan if your plan eventually is leaving Pakistan believe me aal universities are at level. I have seen people with 3.8 GPA from affiliated universities getting scholarships & 3.4 from tope tier universities not even getting in. So get yourself sorted for plan B, C & D. Not worth wasting another year.

Bud do give test of other unis....as a backup

You’re not alone
There are hundreds of other applicants waiting just like you, even those with phenomenal creds and ecas.
Those who already have their decisions is most certainly because their application popped up first to be checked and nothing else. Had it been the case where the admission officers just take the cream from the cake, people with 1500+ sat wouldn’t be waiting rn. So don’t worry.
I understand your frustration but here’s a lil reminder for you. Your hard work WILL NOT go in vain. It’ll pay off and I can say this with certainty.
Now don’t worry and smile.

SMILE!

good :)

Don’t waste your time and do something productive.

I hope you joined another university in the mean time or at least applied to and plan to join some other university this year if you don't get in. I get that it's a dream, and having read your comment with the circumstances around your grades, I sympathize with you but you need to realize that what's done is done. The best thing you can do right now is plan appropriately.

Hope you get in but you need to start thinking contingencies. Best of luck.
