can't say that i disagree there, but if you are planning to attend any med schools in Pakistan, you should be aware and accustomed to the system and may I add also, while you may not be liking such a system of rot memorization at all, you have to respect it nonetheless. Unfortunately, that is how things are and would guarantee you a seat at med school of your choice. Score=success here, most colleges don't bother with your extracurricular activities and your charitable volunteering experiences ... that is all very secondary

On the bright side, once you are in med schools, things tend to go very differently and well your studies would be part memorization, but believe me, a lot of basic knowledge requires conceptual buildup and foundation...

If there is no entry test than how can they determine who gets in?
Just through the premed school scores?

Every school has an entry test. For foreigners who don't take the entry test the government public schools decides based on your high school grades and equivalence score while the private colleges will decide based on high school grades + equivalence + SATII/American MCAT score.

Other than that, everyone takes the entrance test. Is that what you're talking about?

apparently i know many people who dont know a thing abt what they r studying but can point put the exact page of the text that mentions something abt what is asked and recite the whole thing to u but when u ask its meaning they dont have a clue al they say is tht its in the book and we believe it... i mean science is not sumthin tht we read out of the text and accept it without ny explanation because we wud need tht knowledge later on cummon man !one shud be practical!

Do b careful abdn. I recently attended a seminar, by the chinese consultants. People frm chinese embassy were also there. They said that only 30 universities have been registered to take international students. Others are working illegally. Any student who take admission in such a university will be immediately deported to his country.
Do ask ur consultant that if the university is registered. Then chk it in the WHO directory. The universities which are registered have higher fees, approximately 4 lakhs (Tution + hostel). Others which say that they will grant u admission for less than the above are all fraud.
