I received a call from LUMS Financial aid office a week ago asking me for some documents.
I got a call again the next day to tell me that the documents were urgent so i had to send them through email. Not through tcs.
Then the next day, they called my dad and interviewed him kinda, for the financial aid stuff.
But my online portal still says in process. What does it all mean? =/
plus i wanted to ask that NUST should be preferred for engineering rather than LUMS, right? Or is LUMS engineering good enough? Plus considering the factor that i live in islamabad? Could someone help me out?

Islamabad point is good for NUST.

LUMS engineering is way better than any other Pakistani engineering and much more difficult too. That's because they are following MIT, Harvard, Cal-tech etc.

But i heard that lums engineering isn't as developed as nust, giki etc yet. Is it true? I mean nust is in top 300 in QS ranking, so doesn't that count for something? And following MIT, Harvard etc as in? Like similar curriculum or what?

LUMS has a standard and curriculum, same as MIT and Harvard. They have same labs, experiments and faculty.
Ranking is not there because they didn't had their first batch in market. Next year, you'll see them in world ranking.

Your information is incorrect my friend.First of all Harvard isn't exactly known for its engineering programs.They are way behind MIT and CALTECH. Secondly,LUMS cannot follow them because neither do they have that kind of endownments and subsequently infrastructure and faculty.Yes,you can say that based on past performance,LUMS is likely to produce competitive,high quality engineers.NUST has the best engineering school in Pakistan as we speak.And then come UET and GIKI.HIMYM forever,according to my advice should prioritise NUST as its in the same city.Living away from home is pretty tough,i hear.

As far as I know this is the fourth batch.

In the first batch on 12 April mostly those who didn't apply for FA received the decision.
On 23 April two people who I know who cancelled their FA received acceptance.
Then around 4 May Mostly financial aid applicants received the acceptances and financial aid decisions. Including me :p
Then yesterday i.e 15 May some more people received the acceptances.
yeah,I got the offer yesterday, Mashallah.
But really confused whether to accept it or not..

LUMS faculty is top class. Alumni of MIT, Cambridge, Imperial(London) etc.
And as far as I have heard LUMS EE is extremely tough. And the labs are brilliant.
You also cant undermine the fact that SSE is new compared to NUST and thus newer and better equipment and facilities.

If you join LUMS you will have an upper hand when finding a job. Just due to the name LUMS.

I sent most of the document(including everything that you mentioned) but then I got a call asking for Car documents and my passport copy. (it was way before LUMS even started sending offers.)

No. but I got a roll number on the online portal. Whats you roll number?
I just checked my portal, there's no roll number there yet, just the old tracking ID
How long did they take to update your roll number after you submitted the fee? It has been 4 days since i sent mine, is it possible that they did not receive it? :/
