Hello medstudentz!I got an offer for admission in both AKU and DUHS(on merit). Now I am really confused which one should I choose. I know AKU is better but is it really worth to spend 65 lacs on just MBBS considering the further expenses after graduation. On the other hand, Dow is a government university so not expensive. My main aim is to score high in USMLE and go the US. Please give your views. I do not have much time to decide. Thanks

In my personal opinion, you should go for Dow. I know a lot of people are going to not agree to me, but really, DOW also is one of the finest and also affordable. Consider this, how long do you think will it take for you to earn back the money that you will be investing on your education which in case you go for Agha Khan, would be around 75 lakhs or more including specialization. Thats a lot of money brother.

well true if you talk about money, but when i talk to doctors and all other people in the teaching side, you do get an idea that aku is a class apart. if i were you id take a loan and go aku.

like they say ke envoirment where you study is what really matters, the faculty is very dedicated, good extra.c. and then students very dedicated aswell.

I'm personally choosing Aga khan, if that helps. It's hard to refuse an AKU offer.

You are right. If one has the resources, then Aku is no doubt the best option. But in my case, I want to save for post graduation so I think Dow will be the best choice

So you mean i will get paid for USMLE preparation, taking the exam itself, applying for residency programs and travel? That would be great

Hello Farrukh494,

I hope you are doing well and I hope you see this message inshallah. I came across your question on this forum about choosing to go to DOW or AKU. I read all the replies and it seemed like you were leaning towards DOW at first and then changed your mind to AKU. I am also in the same position as you and I am curious to know which school you chose. Did you choose DOW or AKU?
