<p>im a US student thinking about going to like AKU to directly jump into medicine rather than taking the whole pre-med path over here.
but, i have heard that once i return to the US, i will become a second rate doctor and will have a verrrry difficult time getting a residency
wat is your opinion on this?</p>
<p>HEYYYYY some1 should help me. I live in the U.s adn i want to go 2 medical school in pakistan but i dont know if thats a good idea or not because i dont know what King Edward requires adn i would like to find out. So please and thank you =]</p>
<p>^ not a good idea. I had a similar thought which is now overturned. You will become a second-rate doctors and probably get some boring specalty like internal medicine IF you pass the boards (50% pass rate for IMGs). </p>
<p>Why not just take the path here. It will, in turn, make you a better doctor in my opinion. You will be well-rounded with social skills, academic skills, etc. Obviously the US has more resources than Pakistan, thus making US a better place to study. I will highly discourage you from going there for I know people (aunts, uncles, friends...) that have gone to study there or came from there and are unable to pass the boards. They are now working as doctor assistants, etc. etc. Some got lucky, but remember pakistan may make you a different person and what you think right now, you make not think at that time.</p>

<p>Hi I just want to join A.M.C,but i am so confused.I have read in a site that if a dual nationality holder wants to apply for A.M.C than that person must surrender the other nationality other than pakistani nationality,what does that mean?and secondly here in U.K we can choose any 2 science subjects for medical and I don't have physics so,is there any option for foreigners in A.M.C???</p>

<p>ok i am a student in an american high school, the number one high school in the country to be exact. So far I have taken AP bio and I will be taking AP chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry before I graduate.
As of now my gpa is a 4.0</p>
<p>My relatives believe that attending medical school in Pakistan and then returning to the US for residency is the way to go.</p>
<p>Is it a good idea to apply to AKU right after I graduate from high school? What requirements/examinations must I take before I can apply and what test scores and other items do they look at? How does the admissions process work? (im sorry if these questions have been answered before).</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>also what is ibcc?</p>

<p>Hi, soorry to bother but i found this thread hoping some one might reply so here i go. I am currently a high school senior and i really want to get into DIMC. I just wanted to get information. I read that in order to get in, one needs IBCC OR SAT II scores. I got A’s and B’s in my years of highschool excepts for 1 C in Chemistry(my worst science ;[) and 1 for anatomy. Can I get in with only SAT II scores into DIMC? Please let me know much appreciates.</p>
