The thing is you start to think BBC should be a piece of cake. It isn't . Biggest mistake of my career to think that scoring good in O'levels means we'll score good in A'levels too.Your Maths went bad right? I was reading the comments from last year LUMS thread.

Yes sure it is. Let's just focus on other important things going around, like boards, CIEs etc. Or else get involved in some internship programs in the meantime.

You guys don't understand. It's not all about your test and grades. Essays and extra curricular's are important too. Maybe this girl had a bad lcat but the rest of her application was good. I've talked to LUMS students who say that you can get in on the basis of your extra curriculars. So it's not such a big deal if your test wasn't amazing. I know a person who got in with no A's in O level because she had amazing extra curriculars.

So guys I have 2 A*s (Maths, Physics) and 4 As (Add. Maths, English, Biology, Chemistry) in the O Levels. In the A-Levels I got an A* in Physics along with the Cambridge Outstanding Learner's Award for getting the highest marks in the Lahore region, an A in Mathematics and an (embarassing) C in Chemistry. I live outside Pakistan so I applied using my SAT Subject Test scores. I got 2330 out of 2400 in the SAT Subject Tests with full marks in Math Level 2 and Physics. However, I still haven't received my admission decision even though a few friends of mine have gotten accepted. I applied to SSE. What do you think my chances are? I'm worried.

That might be a problem.
. I am home-schooled so I don't really have any good extra-curriculars. Here's what I listed in my application, do you think this is adequate for LUMS?1.

Utilized the PyGTK to create several GUI applicationsand GUI based games such as Hangman.

3. Learnt the C Programming Language in 10th grade (between 2010-2011). Utilized GTK+, the Windows API, SDL and other libraries to create a range of games and applications. Created games for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance using a crosscompiler and the Visual HAM SDK.
4. Learnt the Java Programming Language in 10th grade (2010-2011). Created several applets, games and applications. Learnt Java2D and Swing.
5. Learnt the C++ Programming Language between 2011 and 2012. Created an object oriented abstraction of the Windows API called NexusWin. Learnt SFML, WxWidgets, the STL and FLTK. Created several games and applications. Created a simple parser/interpreter for a self-invented programming language called the Hack programming language.
6. Served as President of the Science Club between 2012-2013 in a private school called Omer bin AlKhattab International School, in the town of Al-Buraimi, in the Sultanate of Oman.

While "interhacker" -who apparently lives in Oman, which of course makes him a foreign applicant- says few of his friends have gotten accepted; and clearly it isn't the start of june yet.
So......
And, you went to Lahore in June?? you mean last year?
