cheebz | 8 years ago | Reply not sure why everyone is out there to discredit LUMS... i mean he wouldnt have got into Oxford or Warwick if he had not got decent results in LUMS first.. LUMS does carry some weight, so stop discrediting pakistani instititute.. ofcourse it is not as well reputed or quality as oxford or warwick.. it also doesnt have as large budget or long history as those institutions also.
