Assalamualaikum everyone. I’m planning to apply for BS Business Analytics at IBA Karachi and needed some guidance from students or anyone familiar with the admission and financial aid process. I currently have 76% in first year and my math and English are average. My board exams will finish after 9 June, after which I’ll fully focus on aptitude test preparation.

I also belong to a low-income single-parent family, so financial assistance is very important for me.

I wanted to ask:

Will second-year marks significantly affect overall admission chances and HSC percentage?
What score should I realistically target in the aptitude test for BS Business Analytics?
Is Round 2 much more competitive?
How much financial assistance can students usually receive in genuine need-based cases?
Is 100% financial assistance realistically possible?
Do we apply for financial assistance before admission or after getting selected?
What documents or requirements are usually needed for financial aid?
If someone gets financial assistance, how do they maintain it during university?

Any honest advice or personal experiences would really help. Thank you.
