<p>hello people, i am a british student. i was thinking of applying for AKU, however due to the lack of knowledge about this university i am unable to decide. i have great passion for medicine. i wanted to ask the following:
1. what is sat? (i live in the uk)
2. how is the environment like?
3. what is the study life like there?
4. can you get an air conditioned room?
5. is it highly strict? (i mean it is in Pakistan, lol)
6. would it be sensible to leave study in the uk and set for AKU?</p>
<p>Thank you for spending time reading my questions. hope you do have an answer.</p>
<p>I am a sophomore at the Universiy of Maryland and have ~3.6 GPA. To apply to Aga Khan do I still need three SAT II's and instead of having to retake the SAT's becuse the scores are more than two years old, can I take the admissions test in Pakistan? Also, if my grades in highschool were poor but have improved dramatically since I've started college, will my high school grades weigh heavily when I apply?</p>
<p>need someone to tell me if id be able to get into aKU or al least get shortlisted - im quite desperate</p>
<p>im a high school senior
i applied back in February and im waiting for admission on a provisional basis (got admitted as a provisional applicant)</p>
<p>have 2020 in SAT reasoning (720 in math) (680 in CR) (620 in writing - i dont think they care about this portion)</p>
<p>i took three sat IIs
chem - 790 bio-M-800 physics-760</p>
<p>However my high school grades arent so good tho
science grades are okay
Bio honors -B
Chem honors B+
Physics A
Ap chem -A (got 5 in ap chem test)
Sci Res honors for first 2 years A each time
AP calc BC - C+ (got 5 in BC test tho)</p>
<p>overall gpa is 2.5.....so yeah got alot of Ds in other subjects that dont interest me and and i have a habit of cutting..alot</p>
<p>i applied cuz alot of people told me they dont really mind a low gpa if everything else makes up for it</p>
<p>going to send in my final transcript to IBCC for certification if anyone has an idea of how ill fare for shortlisting plz let me kno >.<</p>
<p>i am also want to go to aga khan and heard that their admission requirements aren't that tough for for foreigners, by the way what are their requirements for foreigners and is the aga khan university also located in lahore because thats where i am planning to stay!!!</p>

<p>oh yeah and 1 last thing the ppl i've talked to all say that almost every 1 clears the entrance but the real thing's the interiew.... wat in hell is so scary about an INTERVIEW??? wat do they do to you (:-/</p>
<p>I am in my first year of Alvl. I am so worried about my future because Agha Khan is my dream since i understood the meaning of <em>universities</em>. I really want to know, anyone, if i have a chance in gettin into it. i got 7 Bs and 2 As in Olvl, not exactly a straight A student, no i am not all that, but, i just want to know, do i have a choice was these grades, or do i not? please reply, sumone.</p>
<p>bang--
since u have been to this uni ... i have a question for u, or anyone out thr who knows the answer..</p>
<p>what r the requirements for the skool???!
i searched online evrywhere...thr is no link that tells the instructions for the international students who want to apply thr ...
reply asap,
thankzz</p>
<p>i started off in 1997....so you might want to ask someone more recent</p>
<p>I dont recall the requirements specifically. all i remember is that they needed physics, biology and chemistry in a-levels. </p>
<p>when I gave my interview, it went ok. Three faculty members interviewed me. They asked me why I wanted to come to AKU and why I wanted to be a physician. they seemed pretty impressed that I was turning down a full undergrad scholarship from a top 10 US college</p>
<p>people still seem to keep confusing AKU with KE, AIMS and all those carribean medical colleges. </p>
<p>AKU is somewhat unique. All you have to do, as a potential applicant, is to look at the faculty positions AKU alumni have been able to consistently procure at US universites</p>
<p>This is truly amazing considering the first batch came out in 1988. The rate at which this is going, you will see a lot of AKU alumni in some very very powerful positions in the future. In fact, this is more than what AIMS and KE alumni have been able to get in 60 years...</p>
<p>Hi ppl!
Bang i need u 2 help me out pls!
i'm a 2nd yr student at AKU...n i really wanna go abroad 4 elective my summer electives!
can u plz help me out..i'd really appreciate it AKU ALUMNI!</p>
<p>For foreigners offcourse admission criteria is not as tough as getting into harvard medical school but for local pakistanis it is, cuz many pakistani guys who apply there have a 2400 on their SAT IIs in single sittings(agha khan doesn't allow scores frm various sittings to be combined)....and then the damn interview in which they eliminate everyone....I know many(ok..maybe few) guys who got admitted into yale and harvard but couldnt get into agha khan.....that maybe becaues ivys don't give that as much preference to SAT 1 scores for international applicants as they give to there advanced level grades which show ur standing globally........but the point is who applies beside u....if frm ur state three other apply and three other apply frm another state..they will pic one frm each state cuz they luk for diversity..so its ur luck if people frm ur state r not better than u......people frm else where no matter how competent they r don affect ur decision...
well i m also applyin to agha khan this year..hope i get in!!!</p>
<p>OMG ghostfacekiller!!!! a rank of 1-3 outta 1000!!!!!! well frm this nothin else matters much....SAT 1 iz tooooooo okie cuz they don give it much attention.....SAT IIz and APz matter and u r good at APz ....well u cat be super at everything ....right......</p>
