I am a real fan of the day I have spent @ LUMS ... uptil now! I cherish every moment! Though, it wasn't like a ride on a ferry by any means ... atleast not in the beginning. I have told you people a bit about the times during SOP. Let me just ease this a little for you! YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A THING! being tense ain't going to help the cause.
When we started, we were like, come on, how tough can it be?!? We have done assignments before; we have given exams before; How different can LUMS be? But, SOP had set a whole new standard! raised the bar to right up there!! We thought, ok, it took us to complete the assignments about 2-3 hours before, how bad can it be ... maybe twice as much time. Well guess what, yes, just about twice as much time, BUT, for every single course! SOP is like a whole semester squeezed into a week's time! For those, who are already familiar with Statistics and Accounting (only the basics), and decent with the office applications shouldn't find this time very tough! for others, all I can say is GOOD LUCK :-D!! But hey, just enjoy the time before you come here - don't be a nerd and think about preps before coming here - trust me it ain't worth it! CHILL is the keyword here! Don't worry about your being rusty and existing lax habits .. it'll all be fixed in its own time! Human beings are an amazing creature - if you don't know this yet, you will definitely realized it soon! So brace yourselves to behold the evolution then!! Chao!
ps. but you do need to brush up your speaking skills! so if there is a shell you live in ... its high time that you get out of it now!

Nice Blog!!
I have been accepted for LUMS MBA hence digging for info on SOP and stuff..!!!
I wanna ask what's the intake and average drop out rate at LUMS?
Thanks
In-take is around 150 ... give and take
well ... drop out is hmmm ... 2% rest are kicked out ...
our batch was 147 at the beginning but at the convocation we were 110 odd ... do the match
Thanks for the quick reply.
Basically I am an average student...scored 590
Do u think I stand a chance?
I talked to another person and he said you really have to be a dumbo to b kicked out..is it right??
whats the best technique??
btw you have already scared me :(
have you cleared the interview? if yes ... then your past academics or even the test score doesn't matter
Its not about how good a student you are ... its like we say ... don't study hard ... study smart ...
chill out now ... :)
Thanx a lot for your help!!
Any tips on studying smart?
what used to be your routine during MBA?? i mean how much time for classes / sleep etc.
