Improve Your Chances of Admission in LUMS
As mentioned in the section on undergraduate GPAs, there are a few things you can do now to improve your chances of being accepted at a top MBA program, like LUMS.

(1) Take the GMAT Seriously

The most important thing you can do now to improve your chances of being accepted by LUMS is ace the GMAT.  The test takes only three hours to complete, but your score will be weighted more heavily than will your four yeas of undergraduate work.  If you don't get a respectable score (more than 550) on the test, you won't go to LUMS MBA Program. 

Take a GMAT prep course if at all possible.  And don't take a cheap course just to save some money. You're trying to make up for four years of undergraduate partying, so skimping on a prep program doesn't make much sense.  Check out the GMAT Prep

    (2) Join a Professional Organization

    Try to find a professional organization for people in your industry.  Virtually every occupation has an associated professional organization, because seeing them on a applicant's resume makes admission commitee believe he enjoys his work and is serious about staying in that industry.

    (3) Volunteer with a Nonprofit

    I wish community service meant more in the admissions decision.  There's a lot of talk about volunteer work in business school brochures, but I rarely see it having much impact on who gets in and who doesn't.  The only exception, of course, is for applicants whose full-time jobs are in nonprofits.

    Try to get involved in a nonprofit that interests you.  Find something you really like.  That way you'll get great experience, and it won't matter whether it helps you get into LUMS or not.

    (4) Take Extension School Courses

    This is particularly important if you need to improve your math profile.  Because admissions people are so concerned about math skills, it's important that applicants who didn't do particularly well in math classes as an undergraduate prove they can keep up with their classmates now.  The best way to convince the admissions people is to ace the math section of the GMAT, take a math class through a local extension school and do well in it, or do both.

    (5) Job Experience More than two Year

    LUMS prefer experienced people from a diverse fields. Many applicants from Pakistan belong to Banks, sellings, and similar fields. Obviously, if two candidates apply from same industry, the admission commitee go for the candidate having higher GMAT score or GPA in undergraduate. Like other top rank business schools LUMS like her class room filled with people having diversified indepth knowledge.
