My name is Anas and i am from The Lyceum School, Karachi. I had
7As, 2 Bs in O levels and 2 AS level As (out of 2 subjects). My
problem is that I am confused between BSc Economics (and going beyond
that) or CA. My question is that can I do BSc in Accounting and
Economics and become a CA after that? Or going forward to MSc

 Thanks in advance.

Transfer Options for a BBA Student

Jun24
2008 20 Comments Written by pkstudent

Currently i am pursuing my BBA from FAST-NU lahore, but i not not that satisfied from the quality of education and the environment they are providing us. I know i am able to study efficiently and i am also told by my instructors that you will go far in your career because i have courage to know. I want to have quality education.
After FA i applied for LUMS and was not accepted because i did not take it seriously to prepare for admission test, thats why i opted for FAST because of my last choice. There are many talented teachers in FAST but i am not fully satisfied because of some reasons:
1. I want to earn a respectful degree
2. Obviously i have talent so i do not want to waste it
Now i have registered for 5th semester in FAST and also the point is that i am on 100% scholarship in FAST.

Now i have too many options from which i have to choose only one.
1. I can transfer my credit hours to USA, UK, AUS
2. I can stay here and pursue CFA with BBA because i am good at finance
3. Do BBA here and also CFA then go for MBA abroad

i have a dream to teach in a university in UK like LSE or London business school. And also want to have handsome pay package.

Now i am preferring to transfer and have no idea at all about this; i am thinking to transfer to Oxford, Cambridge or somewhere else but finances are not supporting me and i am now thinking of scholarship.

so please tell me what to do and when to do, i am waiting for your response.

counseling is there for me but what about my father and this is one big fat problem here in Pakistan with many girls and their education i don’t know whether this was the place to come or not but if you people could help me out and think of something as to how to counsel parents who still have a very backward thinking my father isn’t rude or anything don’t get a wrong picture of him its just his thinking….help!…..?

2008 16 Comments Written by pkstudent

AOA,

Well I want to share my experience with u guys. I graduated in BSc Electrical engineering from the USA in 2005. My concentration is in telecom

I was very interested in coming back to Pakistan. Unfortunately I have not been able to get any job in telecom area in Lahore.  So I’ve basically haven’t done anything since 2005.

I was so much disappointed in coming back to Pakistan but could not go back due to finance problem. Then I started doing MBA from GC University in 2007.

I am still not sure what to do … Being a US graduate I am free and could not get job …

Thanks
Imran

          Getting into Business School

          Apr29
          2008           9 Comments Written by Arfeen

          Hi,
          My name is Shahrukh from The Lyceum School and I’m currently in my A-levels first year. I got 7A’s and 2B’s in my O’levels. Currently,I have Accounts, Economics, Mathematics and General Paper as my subjects. I am appearing for Mathematics and Economics AS level this june. I intend to do MBA or Masters in Economics(M.E) which leads us to our first question whether MBA or M.E has a better scope in Pakistan and abroad?

          I, like many others aspire to get enrolled in a good and reputed university abroad. However,more than half way through my A-Level first year i realized that my subject combination isnt good enough to get me into good universities abroad like LSE which does not give importance to Accounts and demands traditional sciences like Psychology so now i am in a fix. Are there any other renowned universities abroad which offer MBA or M.E and accept students having the subject combo that i have?

          If there are such universities,then what is there criteria for scholarships ?

          Also, do all reputed business schools in the U.S require SAT II or is SAT I good enough for admissions? What is the average SAT score that such business schools demand?

          Going for an Accounting degree after A’Levels

          2008           13 Comments Written by Arfeen

          Hi,

          My name is Anas and I am studying accounting, economics and mathematics for my A’Levels at The Lyceum. I will be giving my AS exam this june of maths and economics. I got 7 A’s and 2 B’s in my O’Levels.

          I basically have two questions:

          1. Can a person who has a degree in accounting from the US work in Pakistan? What about UK and Canada?
          2. Furthermore, will only 3 subjects suffice to get me an admission or will i need a fourth one? If yes, which one would you recommend?
          3. What course of study should opt for if I want to become a Chartered Accountant?

          p.s i am giving all four components of maths in the first year. Normally, only two components are given in he first year and other two in the final year.

          I am Kamran from Lahore Pakistan. I am a student of BBA 2nd year enrolled in 4 years BBA Program in Pak Aims university. I have a dream of studying abroad, want to do some BS Program in IT or Business and IT, and ofcourse I do have potential. But the major problem I am facing at the moment is Finance. Since I belong to a middle class family, Studying abroad is not affordable for me at this time.

          My university is giving an opportunity to transfer the credit hours to Bedfordshire University Luton. But the problem is that I am unable to bear the university fees. I am sure that I’ll be able to bear my expenses while doing a job over there, Once I reach. So I request pkstudent.com to provide their feedback about this.

          2008           6 Comments Written by Muhammad Younas

          My name is Akram and I am currently doing my A levels from Aitchison College Lahore. In my O levels (Aitchison College) I got 3 As and 2 Bs. My parents and my own wish was that somehow I could enter into LUMS to do my bachelors degree but unfortunately I didn’t get the admission.

          I have got admission in Lahore School of Economics Pakistan and Kings College London. A lot of people tells me that Lahore School of Econ is not a good university to attend and might ruin my future. My parents are kind of willing to send me to Kings College london to pursue an undergrad degree in Business Management. The degree is of 3 years with yearly tuition fees of 10,000 pounds and expected 7,000 pounds of living expenses. On the other hand Lahore School of Economics yearly tuition fees is around 200,000 Rs.

          What should I do? Is spending so much money in undergrad worth it?
