Hello, has anybody been called for interview? Mine is scheduled on 18th. What to make of it? Does it reduce my chances of getting in? Or they are doing it for I have applied for F.A? God! I'm so tensed. If my acceptance does not come by 19th of this month, I'm surely gonna die.

I've heard that they only call those students who they are doubtful of. And what kind of questions will be asked, any idea?

And What If I fail to make a sound impression?

Don't worry. Be confident. I think the point of these interviews is so they can gauge your abilities. They are not expecting to be an 'Einstein ka bacha'. I figure that they're gonna see how assertive and confident you are with your replies. They might ask you about your hobbies, interests, why you think you'll be a good fit at LUMS. Some of my friends had interviews and they were given articles from the Economist or something and then they had to comment on it. If you get nervous, its going to be bad. Just relax, drink some chai and treat it as a fun way to show them why you deserve to be at LUMS. Remember, they need you which is why theyve arranged the interview. Be confident!

rubab,no just have faith, and stay calm, the best thing one could do during the interview is to appear as calm as they could but mind it not nonchalant, thats just gonna destroy the impression, and mebbe the interview might be held in all angraizi, if in case, then don't go flowery, you actually sound sensible already, talk simple, logical, and be succinct.
Leave the rest to Allah.
But who let out this news or rumor that those who are called for interview have less chances, shouldn't they be having better chances or might be at tie with another candidate, just my guess.

How'd you find out about the interview? :S What have you applied for?

 

[chirpy]

how lucky he got in.i got 1920

I am surprised y rnt u in then, it could be the difference of grades/percentages, or mebbe lums pick ppl randomly from the shorlisted list and send the offers.

 

[reesh]

And just be confident. Relax and think of it like a conversation you're having with a really awesome teacher or a senior friend. You'll do great IA

It's awesome. I've got a friend there and he's having the time of his life. And a few of my friends went there for LMUN and they all told me it's amazing. They also said that LUMS has a really good library. The atmosphere there is kind of chill, not very strict, but people there are insanely smart. My dad's friend was a teacher there and he said that all those students would have been Ivy worthy if they were in the US.
And somehow despite having lived in Pakistan all my life and having gone to Lahore numerous times, I STILL haven't seen LUMS -__- So I'm consoling myself by looking at it on Google Earth

Woah, I am shocked (and kind of dissapointed in my fellow Lahoris). I had only been to Lahore for like 3 months total in 18 years and Ive spent an hour inside LUMS. wese it sounds super chilled, i hear that there a lot of people. Religious people, party people, lots of artistic type people. As some people would call it, 'sceene bara taiit hay'

I actually live in Pindi And it's just my luck. Every time we go, it's usually because we need to get work done or get shopping done for weddings. You would not believe how many times I've tried to go, but the universe wants my first impression of LUMS to be a surprise Yeah, that's true. My friend is in the music clubs and I have a relative who took part in all kinds of activities. She even got selected for a student exchange program to Austria.

Dude, LUMS is incredible. I walked in and it was like I changed countries. SUPER clean, super friendly staff. Magnificent beautiful building covered in ivy. Its perfection at its best. Yeah I heard about some super hardcore clubbing oppurtunities too, with proper electro etc.

That sounds awesome, but I'm not really into clubbing or partying I'll be happy if they have a proper library with actual BOOKS. My current school has a horrible library. It's a nightmare there.

 

[chirpy]

Oh well they guy who visited my home never ate anything although we served him with things.

err then lums is supposed to hire me, i sure wont mind munching away, and could tell you the preferences too.
See i am so nice i googled this link for you , tho it's for mba, might help you: uafzal.wordpress.com/2009/05/03/lums-mba-interview-story/

and here a funny response written somewhere else:My frnd in interview said.....
I want to join LUMS ... cuz i want to serve Pakistan ....
The interviewer replied .... what a bookish answer

Poor guy was not selected ..

I've seen the Roots library in Islamabad a few years ago. A small derelict room, with three ancient computers with mismatched keyboards/mice. A broken shelf with a cracked glass cover with seven old, tattered copies of textbooks for classes that weren't offered. In the cramped room, there was also a man who sat there and yelled at anyone who went near the computers of the bookshelf and would demand thousands of rupees if you touched anything, claiming we had broken stuff. THAT was depressing.

The Roots DHA library is a little better (my school), but still a nightmare. The librarian is really rude and drives me nuts. I know that a library is for silence, but not complete silence. He tries to kick us out even if we whisper and he keeps talking loudly on the phone.
I'm so ready for LUMS.
