Alevel>Business School Pakistan

[bazal.nasir]

Guys if I appear in just 2 A'levels and achieve A grade in both of them(Eco and Acc), would I be able to get admission(atleast conditional) in Top notch Business Schools of Pakistan?

And can I make it into the Unis without SATs?

I not sure if this would help you but my cousin had given A-levels in two subjects (Business Studies and Economics) in May/June session but then had to give 1 subject more (Accounts) in Oct/Nov session due to universities requirement (and HEC requirement for equivalency) for admission to various business schools.

Most Universities require 3 A-level subjects with a minimum grades (such as B's or even C's).

No bro. Minimum 3 subjects. Otherwise you wont get your equalency from ibcc which is required in every university of pak.

3 Passes in A Levels' for LUMS, LSE etc.
However, 2 passes are required for London International Programmes if you wanna go for them like LLB Uni Of London or ACCA.

Ok! But if I take a gap semester after doing my A'levels for SATs and 1 additional A'level(totaling 3), would it be OK?

Are these international programs worth that money and time?

Yes, it would be totally okay. Look mate, go nice and easy. I myself took two gap years. One expected, one unexpectedly.

That depends on you, if you wanna go abroad go for them, otherwise go for LUMS or LSE. Totally depends on you. Try LUMS first, if you can't get into LUMS, go for LSE. If you don't like LSE, then opt for International Programmes, but keep in mind they have yearly examinations, not the semester system, and exams are tough. But shouldn't be a problem for you if you can score A's in your A Levels. Everything depends on what YOU wanna do, both options are fine by the way.

Both options are fine, but my advice would be, clear atleast three subjects. You'll need Equivalence certificate from IBCC sooner or later in life and yes they require atleast three subjects in A Levels.

My first preference is IBA, isn't this a good option?
And like you said, doing international program for going abroad, can't I go abroad after doing the standard Bachelors degree?

And does these international programs have market value in Pakistan?

Ok! BTW from what I know, IBCC deducts around 15% of your A&O levels marks(after conversion), is that true?
If yes, doesn't that drops candidates like us in merit list?

Also can you tell me the average grades in O&A levels + SAT for LSE,LUMS,IBA which can get us in there.
I mean like they have listed everything on the web but I am asking from the practical experience and past experience of your's and your mates.

Yes IBA is a very good option ofcourse.
And yes ofcourse you can go abroad after doing bachelors from here.
Yes every programme has a market value if you excel at it.
However, keep IBA, LUMS, LSE your top priorities.

I applied to Australia and got accepted at top notch universities but then due to change of parents decision I couldn't go. My brother was in London at that time and my parents gave me option to either go to London or stay here at Pakistan.
Ironic how I ended up doing ACCA (London) degree afterall haha.

Umm yes I've heard too about deduction after conversion but I don't think it makes such a difference.
About avg grades, Minimum grade for LUMS and IBA are 'C' as per their requirement. I have a friend who had 2A's 1B and he got into IBA, after a year he transferred to LUMS, and last year graduated from LUMS. As far as LSE goes, I got accepted there too, and I even had a 'D' in economics. I have friends in LSE who had straight 'E's LOL.
And about SATs, I have no idea about them, I never appeared for them.
