Well, I'm gonna leave just a little fact. Google "from King Edward Medical University/College" or google "from Rawalpindi Medical College" and you will find bunch of, literally hundreds of doctors graduated from these institutes who are now practicing abroad. U.S, Canada, U.k & what not. Then google "from Army Medical College" and let me know if you find a single one.
So believe it or not, the name of the institute does matter. The prestigious institutes of any country are definitely known all around the world. Tell me it doesn't matter if you graduate from Peking University or University of beijing. Both are really good universities but Peking is the name which makes you shine out of the million people. Tell me it doesn't matter if you graduate from Cambridge or Oxford. And since you are from Saudi Arabia, tell me it doesn't matter if you graduate from King Saud University or King Faisal University as far as the medicine is concerned. And as I mentioned, google doesn't lie.
IMO, being a graduate of Army Medical College makes as much of a difference as it will make if you graduate from CMH, acentually. Seriously, both are really good institutes, both are army institutes, good quality education, discipline and all and since u said fees isn't really a problem so the benefit of Army medical college over CMH remains only that its situated in your city.
Now, coming towards the modular system thingy. Its simple. If you "consider" that foreign people don't really care if you graduated from K.E or lmdc, then you can certainly not expect them to know that Army Medical College has modular system? I mean, first you are considering that they won't know or care what King edward is and then you expect them to know or care that you have been studying in an institute based on modular system, that doesn't really make sense to me.
And I do agree I was wrong about public or private thingy. AMC is definitely a public institute, what I meant was that its fee structure is considerably higher than the UHS colleges.
Coming towards the fact that not many people get to enter Army Medical College. Well its quite blatant since they only have 50 seats?
And frankly, less seats doesn't make an institution a good one. Consider this, why do you think PMDC has allotted them only 50 seats?
lolzz. Yes there wouldn't anybody be with you to help you out with your stuff, you're gonna have to do everything by yourself. But I'm sure you can understand, in the long run, even this will be good for you.
And its just a hype that a medical student has to study 24/7. Its not like that. Medical students do have as normal life as people of any other profession. I mean, its human psyche right? You can't keep on doing the same thing the whole time. Every once in a while your mind needs to take a break. So I was just mentioning the merit, that "if" you'd like, there are plenty of places to visit in Lahore.
Just to articulate things out, I'm not saying that Army Medical College is not a good one. Its a really fine institute but you can never compare King Edward with Army Medical College.
Aaaaand as last words, don't count the demerits of Army Medical College Tayyaba, just count the merits of King Edward. As for demerit, one of the greatest demerits of Army Medical College that I'd like to mention here is that its simply throwing your super awesome aggregate away along with all of your hard work.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.
