FINALLY HAVE SOME NEWS!
So I went on a trip to Lahore and Islamabad to start my IBCC process and check out colleges.
IBCC: I submitted all my documents and I chose the urgent process which takes 3 days instead of 15. I submitted my documents, and it took them 3 business days and when i went to pick up my stuff, i was praying hoping i got some good marks, and all they gave me was some letter saying that i passed highschool from the united states, and i meet Pre Medical FSC requirements. They said i wont get any marks until my school in the states verifies all my documents. So they sent a letter to my high school asking them to verify everything. The people in the IBCC office in Lahore are extremely rude and dont give a s**t. Two guys are sitting behind a glass counter, when ever you ask them a question they act like they dont hear you, then you start bad mouthing them then they will actually look you way. then they will vaguely answer your question.
Then I checked out two dental colleges. Marghala Institute of Sciences, and Lahore Medical and Dental college.
Lahore Medical Dental College:
Located on "nehar" road, about 30 mins away from main Lahore. I really liked the place. Every room had an AC in it, and the atmosphere was quite modern compared to more govt institutions. Hostels are great, AC's are allowed, 6500 RS per month if you wonna share a room, and 8500 RS a month for an individual room. 3500 RS per month for AC. Sorta pricey but they are really nice and in dollars its not much at all. Room comes furnished with a bed and desk. No attached bathrooms, but the community bathrooms were clean and had tiles in them.
Marghala Medical College. Located in Bahria town Rawalpindi. let me start by saying. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING HERE! So this place is a plaza kinda house in a residential area, and this isnt the Bahria town you see on tv with fountains and huge roads, rawalpindis bahria town is disgusting. so i met with some admissions guy in a NON AC office, and he gave me some info. I asked do any foriegners come here? hes like YES many from middle east and ect. and im like what about from north america, hes like yes we had one female student from canada who graduated last year. he said this proudly. I think we all know that any decent med school will have more than one person from north america. Then there are no boys hostels, only girls. the signs on top of doors were made out of computer paper and cheap Word Art. The man also claimed this place was PMDC approved. In my eyes i dont think its gonna stay approved for long...
Final Thoughts: I really liked Lahore Medical and Dental College, The person to get info on admissions was not there when i visited. so im gonna get more info by calling this week.
Any questions? feel free to ask.
