She is studying at CMH Lahore and it's a very good university. I'm talking about how they ended foreign seats

 

[ASyedCT92]

It's much better that it's open merit , I saw the first page of the merit list for CMH Lahore and seems to be dominated by foreign applicants. Before there were just a number of foreign seats.

 

[Salmansajid]

by any chance will you even consider the other university options you got accepted into AsyedCT92
only if one guy leaves the ptap seat i might be able to get in

 

[ASyedCT92]

Not sure Salman, I'll tell u if I drop my seat. Inshallah you'll get in tho, what's ur next priority after ptap?

 

[Salmansajid]

shifa college of medicine but the situation looks a little difficult right now because the merit is too high i am at merit position 2000 same goes for the fees its too high
actually the thing is i live right next to Nishter medical college my street name is nishter road so if i dont get into shifa ill be taking a gap year
what about you? i know you got in but like i always heard Aga Khan college is an exceptional medical college did you apply there as well?

 

[ASyedCT92]

Yes alhumdullilah I got into AKU, and that's my issue rn , I'm waiting for both process so I can decide final.

 

[Salmansajid]

Mashallah congratulations

so your first priority is AKU and then PTAP?

 

[ASyedCT92]

Uh , yes , however the fees is totally unsuitable for my family so I'm waiting for my decision.

 

[Salmansajid]

i totally understand
thats also my main concern my family cant afford 18000 usd so i might have to take a gap year
but also honestly AKU is one of the best medical colleges even if the fees is higher its totally worth it
have you seen the total USMLE graduate percentage around 70 % come from AKU the rest from Various other universities
i also applied to AKU butcoukdnt get in

- - - Updated - - -

but you should consider everything fees education hostel etc

 

[ASyedCT92]

In best circumstances of course no one would decline AKU, however when I saw the fee coming around 220 k for total five years, it's almost 2 x other private colleges. And considering I have a younger sibling it's a bit of a stretch for my family, I am hoping for the best tho , what else to do. Inshallah Allah will find a way as provided so far.

 

[Salmansajid]

Inshallah
you applied as a foreign candidate?

 

[ASyedCT92]

Yes

 

[Salmansajid]

inshallah bro
Allah will help you find a way!

 

[ASyedCT92]

Inshallah

 

[suwaibah1526]

Have you guys completed your high school in Pakistan?

 

[ASyedCT92]

No, I did A levels outside Pakistan. Hence why I'm counted as foreign or Overseas, wbu

 

[suwaibah1526]

I did high school in Canada.

 

[Salmansajid]

did you apply through PTAP

 

[suwaibah1526]

Yes, but I'm not even on the waiting list. For the equivalence, they deduct lots of marks for some reason.

 

[ASyedCT92]

Yes it's usually 10-15% , lots of Canadians coming in , u from Calgary?
