Hi Guys.

Just wondering who is gonna apply to Pak Med in 2008. Will you apply to Gorvernemnt or Private Colleges if so which one would be your first preference and why. How will you apply..scholarship/self-finance/or entrace exam. Just to find out that we won't be alone there...hehee

For myself, i m probably going to apply to NMC or PMC b/c i have family there and probably going to do the entrance test..yup. It doesnt get any more exciting than that..:happy:

yea so they changed their rule this year. before for canadian students they only deducted 10% now they have changed it to 20% ..yeah i was kinda surprised wen i found out my equvalence..and den my dad called the chairman and asked whats going on and he was actually being really nice (according to my mom) he explained how he called the ontario board of ministry and asked whether candian students have internal examination or external..andd they said its internal so yeah now its the same as u.s my average was 94% but after they deducted 20% i have 821/1100

umm it was my average for grade 11 and 12 courses that they were suppose 2 look at...but they did sumthing wrong they considered my math course which was 92% rather than an elective course which was 95% so my dad is gonna tlk to dem about it ...if they agree to consider my elective course rather than math then my equivalence will change to 824/1100 ..it dusnt really matter caz da average is styll gona be 74% lol

can anyone tell me what was the %age of the last person who got admitted in nishtar last year...i am going to apply for all punjab gov unis hoping to get into nyione of them ...nyone wid me?

it was 887/1100

CAN anyone explain how that's possible because the person who achieved that equivalence was from u.s and clearly IBCC deducts 20% so how is it POsssible to get that score
the answer to ur question is AP CLASSES...
i recently got my ibbc score...and it wasnt anywhere close to that score..
i was extremely disappointed, although i had striaght A's throughout high school, in all of my classes...
i argued with the IBCC...and they pointed out that i hadn't taken AP Bio/Chem/Phys...
bcuz of that, they deducted 20%...
if i had taken AP courses (and gotten As in them and a 4 or 5 on the AP test) , they would have deducted only 10%...

...although i have read somewhere on this webiste, that AP courses are not required,
TECHNICALLY THEY ARE...
especially if u want a score close to the 880-900 range...
just getting straight As in honors courses (what i did) just isnt enough...#angry
especially if ur applying under PTAP...ur score needs to be ATLEAST greater than 850...the LAST person to get into a govt college under PTAP had a score of 854...

to all those people from abroad(foreigners and overseas pakis) there aint no use wastin time for goverment college entry test cause its designed to kick people like us(i too am an overseas paki) out of the system(gov. sys) and iv been ther and done that an am sick of it
last yr i had given that crappy test(had got 935/1100 in equivalence) but the test was soo **** ****
that i couldn make it so be wise and apply for private colleges.they got seats reserved for overseas and foreigners like cmh lahore has got 10 maybe and people who get like 800 in equivalence have a good chance of gettin on those seats reserved for overseas people

I have to partially agree with you on this. But the test is doable. It's not that hard.

Nonetheless, if one can afford an oversea seat, go for that, because as you said, why mess up with the system that has been placed for so many years. #yes

yeah it is

but!
there is news which is good for some and also can be bad for others
"from next year onwards entrance tests for admission to goverment medical colleges may not be held anymore and there is a good chance that the one going to be held in september/octobere may also not be held

I don't know if there is an exact day announced, but I would keep an eye out around the middle or end of Ramadan this year, because last year the PTAP list came out around the middle of Ramadan while the Self-Finance list came out about 2-3 weeks later. So I would say check starting mid-September to mid-October.
