mbbs at kmdc or bds at dow?

guys pls help me out, with what my aggregate is coming out to be i think i'd have a good shot at merit mbbs at kmdc or merit bds at dow.

Personally, ive always wanted to study mbbs but after going through the mdcat grind i felt as if mbbs wouldnt be for me. like the sheer exhaustion i felt was insane but maybe that was because i was from an a level background and had to go over the fsc syllabus in 3 months. but idk during the prep i thought id switch to bds after mdcat ends.

But now however, i am requestioning what i want and i am not sure at all. i mean ive always wanted mbbs but ive also always wanted to go to dow to study.

i think i might get in through self finance mbbs at jinnah but i dont have that kind of money lol. so what should i do, study a degree ive always wanted in a uni that wasnt what i wanted or switch to bds at my dream uni? also let me know if kmdc is a good uni too please?

Should I go for private MBBS if medicine is genuinely my passion?

I’m considering private MBBS, and my family is completely okay with paying the fees. I also don’t want to stay in Pakistan long-term.
My friends keep telling me not to do it because I’ll regret it, mainly because of the cost and how long the process is. But honestly, I genuinely don’t see myself doing anything else. Medicine has always been what I want.
I want to hear from people who have actually gone through private MBBS: Would you do it again? Do you think it’s worth it if money isn’t a major concern and you genuinely want to become a doctor?

smle

So I ( a middle class , already in private Institute ) wanted to study for usmle but I just gave up Bcz of the cost and time it takes , it seems really unrealistic to me

So I want to study and give smle ( saudi) instead ( ofc not as worth as usmle but far better than Pakistan ,

I am in my final year now ( just started)

Anyone who gave smle and are doing residency in saudi , Need ur guidance

About study, cost, time it takes , is it worth it?

Pl give me your honest and compassionate advice

Should a 2020 graduate start the Step 1 pathway? Spent 3 years in the army and then did PLAB. PLAB wasted a year + and have applied for IMC now (Ireland). What other option do i have? Should i start the USMLE pathway alongside? Have a job in a small town that pays well so not sitting idle.

Have a brother who’s in NY right now surgery resident but he said it’s too late for me now.

people from mid-bottom tier public unis, are we cooked

it was a blessing to get into a public uni but after graduating, the alumni network and shiz ka lihaaz hua. are we cooked with no name unis even if we got into them via merit? ive seen so many success stories but it seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

Al 'Aleem med college V/S shalamar V/S FMH

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Which of these private med colleges is the best? in terms of academics, faculty and clinical training.

I feel like AAMC wins for clinical exposure and Shalamar wins for research.

For those studying the book "FIRST AID FOR STEP 1" :: I made completely free tool to study alongside the book -> Read a topic from book then practice from it (Faster Retention and Better Concept Grasp) : Posting it here since many PG prep students use the book in Pakistan

If you are studying First Aid for first time, it can be tough. To help those that study the book, I spent about a year building a well-structured set of MCQs perfectly mapped to First Aid topics. Each question comes with detailed explanations for both correct and incorrect options, a key takeaway point, and a memory aid.

It contains 18K+ MCQs, especially useful to those studying first aid book for the first time.

How to use this?

Think of it as a companion to your book. Study a topic in First Aid, and then practice the matching MCQs to test your understanding and practice active recall.

Please note: This isn't designed to replace the book. If you try to use it standalone, it won't be as effective. But if you use it right alongside First Aid, it’s going to be a massive help—especially if you struggle with retention.

Why is it completely free?

Medical students prepping for the entrance exams already face a huge financial burden. I wanted to make this free because it's exactly the kind of resource I would have appreciated having during my own dedicated study time.

What else?

I know it isn't perfect yet, but I will be rolling out many more updates based on your feedback. Please share your thoughts through the app's feedback feature so I can keep improving it!

Besides MCQs, what does it have?

The features easy-to-read analytics, a leaderboard, continue cards, daily mixes, daily editor's picks, and a highly descriptive study section for each topic. The interface was carefully designed to be practical at every step. (Note: Bookmarking will be added in a future update; I left it out for now to save database space and to see if users actually want it first).

Where can I get it?

Right now, it is available on iOS! I focused on Apple devices first since most students use iPads to study the book, but I will be bringing it to Android devices in the future. I'll make another post once i make it for android as well.
