Hello, I gave the UHS MCAT and did extremely poor in it, just got 643/1100, my aggregate is around 70.3%, will I be able to get admission to any private medical college in Lahore without any donation on a local seat? and how much donation will I have to give in order to get into Lahore Medical and Dental College? I also gave Shifa entrance exam but did bad in that too, around 44% in that so I do not stand any chance there.
Well I dont think ones location really has anything to do with the donation scheme, being a foreign candidate though idealistically you shouldnt because you probably will make it to the less competitive foreign seats and realistically it might not be all that fruitful when the administration see's you're a foreign student and get those dollar signs in their eyes.
Well, I just really want admission in Shifa so at this point I'm willing to do anything just to secure a spot lol Hopefully those $$$ will get me admission....
hahahaha oh come on it isn't bribery, I mean the private hospitals got to get some money for providing health care facilities to the poor and needy free of cost, so it is basically a donation

This donation stuff is not applicable to Shifa, it is only for small time private colleges like Fatima Memorial, LMDC, Akhtar Saeed etc, I think you can make it to Shifa on a foreign seat because there isn't much competition on foreign seats, you just gotta pay those $$$ and get in.

I really don't know, that depends on your aggregate, last year one of my seniors from A Levels gave a donation of around 120,000 and got admission into LMDC, he had a very bad aggregate, much bad then mine.
Private hospitals don't provide much healthcare to poor and needy... you don't get a receipt for donation, that means its the extra money the college HARVESTS... that money isn't credited, isn't entitled for tax, it just goes in the pocket:cool!:
I guess it isnt bribery in the way hospitals need money to give free treatment in the same way it isnt bribery to give a policeman 500rs to let you go because he has to feed his family back home.
He's right, Shawana, you'll probably get into Shifa on Foreign Seat. You should try for DIMC as well, as it's mostly for students wanting to study on Foreign Seats.
And, AbraDabra is right, bribery is bribery, whether you give it with your left hand or your right one, doesn't matter. Some colleges take those, but those are very few and have a bad reputation, try LMDC, UOL, Avicenna or RLMC if you want to get a seat. But, let me tell you, these medical colleges, have a bad reputation and I am sure, you don't want to graduate from a medical college, whose degree puts you in a position to have fingers pointed at you. It's a brotherly advise. You should compete and, go where you have actually gained a seat based on your capability.
LMDC accepts donation I guess. Almost all private do. And same score in Shifa, so lost all hope there, really wanted it badly.
But is riphah a good dental college? What about imdc?
Really? You dont see any divide between paying your academic fees to your institution and giving extra undeclared funds to secure a seat which perhaps is taken away from a candidate more deserving then you because you simply didnt make the cut? Lets not go down that road
are the admissions open in sharif medical college and shalamar medical college?? i didn't find anything on their websites. masterh .abradabra.do u people know??
I think all admissions will be open by next week. Just check this Sunday's Newspaper, and probably Shalamar will be putting their advertisement over there.
Today was IMDC's last date of admission, unfortunately I couldn't apply :-(
And don't really know about Ripah, to be honest with you I haven't even heard of Ripah

Sharif Medical and Dental colleges will start accepting applications after 1st November, got no idea about Shalamar but tomorrow I will be contacting all private medical institutes in Lahore to know about dates of admission, I've even prepared a list about it
Avicenna is pretty shady actually. It has the crappiest administration in the world. If you like your freedom, stay away! And, LMDC has gone down too, because of their corrupt practices.
It's a possibility in Avicenna. I'll give you a tip, I gave a few students last year, to get admission into Avicenna. It's a popular admission strategy to get into Avicenna. A junior friend of mine, got in like that. PM me.
This doesn't scare. Just wanna go a college to study. Not go to trips. The no patients thing is a huge drawback though. But I saw patients in their hospital though. Also have Aadil Hospital.
Umer Yamin don't know how to follow up your mega post.
Don't give up on Shifa yet, most people scored similar marks in their entrance exam. Calculate your aggregate and if it is over 60% then they might call you for an interview.

In Islamabad? FUMC, Riphah or maybe Al-Nafees Medical College
I got 76.8% aggregate.Do I stand a chance in mbbs of CMH FMH or Shalamar and LMDC..?My cousin is in FMH ,he says you can easily get into Shalamar or FMH,is that so..?
Not at all in Shalamar, last year's merit was near 80%. You can get into FMH and LMDC easily. However, if you need to get into CMH, you need to score good in their entry test. Because, Shalamar's merit is entirely based on UHS aggregate, yours isn't sufficient enough, judging by last year's high merit.
But, don't get upset, you have a good chance in FMH and LMDC, nonetheless.
