You'll get a pretty complete picture about life at Shifa as everything from the admission process to Shifa dress code has been already been discussed.

If you still have any questions after reading the thread, feel free to ask. There's a fairly large base of current Shifa students on the forum (myself included).

ok thanks, I am still making my way thru the entire thing but it really is helpful

I finally have all the documents and wanted to send in my application. Does anyone know what sort of bank draft is accepted by Shifa and where I can get it? I tried asking my bank (CitiBank) and they said they dont do international bank drafts anymore and Chase has a long processing time and a huge fee (almost half the amount) so if anyone could give me advice on how they paid the application fee it would be helpful.

i was in Pakistan at the time, so i didn't have to deal with the bank draft issue.

If you can't find an easy way to get a bank draft and if you happen to have family or close friends in Islamabad you could western union them the money and ask them to go pay it in person.

So if somone takes in the application and a $100 in person, they would accept it?

No SAT II books needed, the test is purely from the FSc books. Reading SAT II books will be a waste of time. Start memorising the FSc course, specially the first year books.

Hi again! I'm now in Islamabad for a week's recce visit (I'm currently based in London, UK). I'm hoping to see if I can start medicine at Shifa this December. I'm really keen to get a sense of what studying is really like at the College, not just what the Admissions people say. Are there are current / former Shifa students around this week, up to Mon 4 Aug, who would be available to meet up? I'm staying in E7 but happy to meet anywhere convenient.

You can email me at filipini13@gmail.com or ring my mobile +44 78 6870 3512 or via my colleague Imran on 0300 534 6298. Hoping to hear from you...

Many thanks,

Roberson Filipini

Hi everyone, I just found out that i scored a 782 on my equivalence certificate... is this score high enough to be acceptable by Shifa? And if i was to apply to other gov't med schools, would this score be competitive...A question about the SAT 2's ... do i have to take all three subjects and score 650 or better on two of them...or can i take JUST TWO AND SCORE 650 OR BETTER ON THEM... INSTEAD OF TAKING ALL 3...please clarify this for me...i am taking my Bio, and Chem SAT 2's in December...and Inshallah applying to Shifa next year!!! Make Allah Make This Transition Easy For Me..and ALL of US...Ameen
