Hey I am a US citizen applying in Private Medical Colleges in Lahore. Fatimah memorial hospital college and LMDC. Can anybody tell me what are the entry test dates 2007/08 session because they are not available on the colleges sites. Secondly are entry tests mandatory for Foreigners applying in these colleges.

A reply would be appreciated!

Thankyou

I dunno abt FMH or LMDC but i do know that At CMH Lahore Medical College (new college run by the army) where I study foreign students do not give the test instead they submit their SAT scores in lieu of the entry test but overseas students not having a foreign passport are required to sit for the test

BTW CMH admission packet is available till 5th Sept 2007, Entry test 09 Sept 2007 Its a great college and its definitely worth giving a try, we currently have abt 30 overseas and foreign students studying in the first yr

FMH entry test is on 16 Sept 2007

Thanks a lot for the great information Mohsin! I'm sure others will really appreciate your help.

Thankyou for your reply Mohsin.

Can you tell me if entry test of FHM and LMDC is mandatory for foreign students. Am sorry am not currently in Pakistan and there is no information on sites so i cannot get the information myself. IF you have any information i would appreciate your response.

 

[mohsin255]

For foreign students the test is not mandatory
they just need to submit their SAT scores along with their IBCC equivalence

 

[husain87]

Are you talking abt the CMH or LMDC and FHM?

for CMH can i submit the MCAT rather than SAT 1?.

 

[MastahRiz]

For CMH you can submit SAT II's, not MCAT, and not SAT 1. MCAT is a lot harder than SAT II's anyway, so you're better off taking the SAT II's.

 

[husain87]

thankyou for the info, btw whats the last date that i can give SAT 2's? Can i give them in this coming october?

 

[MastahRiz]

You can take them in October, but all the application deadlines for this year will be long gone for all the schools that require SAT II's. You can apply without the SAT II's to government schools though well before October.

 

[husain87]

Can you please tell me if CMH requires SAT 2 or not. Can i give MCAT that is gona be conducted in Lahore somwhere in October. Would that fulfill reqirement?

Thankyou

 

[MastahRiz]

I don't know about CMH's policies really. According to Mohsin255, you can submit SAT II's. Usually schools that take SAT II's also take MCAT in place of SAT scores or vice versa, but I'm not sure, so you should probably check with the school itself. Just remember, SAT II's are much, much easier than the MCAT, and that the MCAT is actually a very hard test.

 

[husain87]

Thanks for the response. The thing is i havent given SAT 2 yet. The earliest i can give is in october which would be past all deadlines so doesnt make much sense. That's why am depending on MCAT's.

all colleges have 3 student categories, LOCALS, OVERSEAS PAKISTANIS n FOREIGN.....if ur a US citizen n ur applying on the FOREIGN seat at any private med skool in LHR (CMH,FMH or LMDC) you CANNOT give the entrance exam! for FMH n CMH u hafto submit ur SAT I and SAT II scores, at LMDC they dnt want em, you only give em ur IBCC equivalency certificate.... HOWEVER if ur applying on the OVERSEAS PAKISTANI seat then you hafto take the MCAT(entrance exam) at CMH and FMH... LMDC dsnt have a seperate overseas pakistani n foreign student category, they only have a LOCALS category n a combined OVERSEAS/FOREIGN category n for tht u gotta pay the dollar amount of the fees n u dnt hafto take the entrance exam or anything just give em ur equivalency certificate thts above 660/1100... dnt even bother applying for the LOCAL students category ANYWHERE cuz honestly unless you have an equivalency above 800/1100, ur not gonna get in

 

[Smeer]

The prob is that everything has to be memorized becuz there is only pure info in the books. I not used to dat. Inshallah i will be graduating from highschool in 2008.

Please if someone can enlighten me....
