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..

The main thing that you have to worry about is getting your IBCC equivalence certificate since you need that (or at least a temporary one issued by IBCC) in order to apply to schools. Some people are able to get it done within a few weeks but it often takes a couple of months. It would be best to start the process as soon as you can.

Jami...well one disadvantage would be that if u want to do the entry test...go early as possible because then you will be able to join the academy and get lots of practice for the test..where as august will not do you much good..because the test usually happens in late october...i knew my neigbour she left left as soon as she finished grade 12 and joined the acdemy..and passed the entry test..or if you have the books already then u can study on ur own...but joining the acdemy would be a GREAT option!

and .. wat about poor overseas pakistanis?

i wasnt even born in pakistan.. was born in saudi arabia.. but they dnt giv u natioality here.. and i ve been here all 17yrs of my life... my dads been here longer..(25yrs)

hmm... i want to get into a medical college in lahore.. inshAllah

Is the entrance test for KE, AIMC & some medical colleges on different dates? Besides, these two... im condsidering LMDC (private) and cmh... any suggestions and adivce is more than welcome..

I am a bit confused about the entrance test.. .also is da entrance test for all govt. colleges the same? or u hav to take it for the university you want to go into?

Also.. anyone know any good academy I can join lahore to prep for the test? I will start in Mid-June is that good enuf?

kool_goose2 · 05-11-2008, 12:55 PM

if u want to go into government colleges the test is the same u dont right for a specific governt colleges...when u right the test, they chose which college u will go to depending on ur overall grade, where for private medical colleges i think u have to write thier specific entry test

Yes June would be great to join an acdemy, my neigbour she went in the end of June and joined the academy in Karachi, and that gave her enough time to prepare and she go in! so yes the more time you have the better! As far as for the best acadmies i think they all prepare the same, i will join one in Multan in the first week of July Insallah!
