xAzarian wrote Today after writing the letter of recommendation for AUB , my biology teacher insisted on the fact that LU is way better than LAU and AUB , that it's not corrupted like private universities , that only the elite can succeed etc...and that based on my performance/grades , I do have an improved chance of succeeding in LU.
First of all congratulations on such high marks and hopefully a bright future.
Can you get a scholarship to a foreign university? Or is it too late now? Like USA...
"Only the elite can succeed"... I doubt that; It is more on the line of "Only the elite can get in". I have no experience with LU except what I hear, that it's hard to get into. Once inside, I never hear from them doing anything extraordinary or ending up somewhere important. (That's my own experience, if someone else has had different experiences, please share).
It's the first time I hear that AUB is a corrupted private university, your biology teacher must know something no one else knows.
In the gulf countries, all the universities in Lebanon are equal and meh, except for AUB (this information is from 2003 to 2006, I'm not sure if anything changed concerning NDU or LAU since then).
Seriously try foreign first (they even give you monthly salary to live off I think if your financial situation is not awesome).
