First of all, I am not from LUMS. 😭
My brother is currently in 2nd year and preparing for the SAT. He has always been a really good student and has had great marks throughout matric. We’re currently waiting for his 1st-year result.

We’re not very financially strong. I’m doing a little better financially, but we’ll definitely be applying for financial aid. I really want him to go to LUMS.
The issue is that he’s extremely introverted. Like, REALLY introverted. 😭 And lately, I can sense that he’s worried about the test, or maybe he doesn’t actually want to go to LUMS. I just don’t know.

I’ve tried talking to him so many times and creating a really soft, comfortable space for him, but he just doesn’t open up. He once told me that he finds the whole process difficult, especially SAT preparation and letters etc.

I’ve never taken the SAT myself, so I don’t really know how difficult the whole process is or how to guide him properly. Our city also doesn’t have any tutors who can properly guide him through this.
Even with financial aid, the whole thing is still going to cost me quite a lot, so I really want to make sure that I’m not pushing him toward something he doesn’t actually want.

So I want some honest opinions on a few things:

1. Should I just stop trying to get him into LUMS?

2. If not, where can I find a good teacher/tutor or someone who can guide him through the SAT and the LUMS application process? Ideally, someone he can become comfortable with and actually ask questions without feeling pressured.

3. Or is he simply hiding from me because he doesn’t want to put in the hard work? 😭
I genuinely can’t figure out whether he’s anxious, overwhelmed, uninterested, or just avoiding studying.

If LUMS BBA doesn’t work out, our second option was architecture. But with AI developing so quickly, I’m also worried about what the scope of an architecture degree will look like 5 years from now.

I’d really appreciate some honest advice from people who have either gone through the LUMS/SAT process themselves or have experience guiding students through it.

I am registered for the Oct 3rd test. But I fucked up Big Time. I did all the things right but forgot to check official documents requirements for Pakistan. Turns out you need to have a passport to just appear for the test. Well the test barely 30 hours away and I don't have a passport. So what i mean to ask is that most of you would have appeared for SAT. Is this a big issue. Will the proctor turn me away. Or will he let me sit if i just show him 2 or 3 of my documents that imply that I exist. Anyone that has experienced the same situation or has a adequate amount of knowledge about this matter, Please Reply.
