all pakistan schools and websites are at FAIMER's list of recognized Pakistan schools

http://imed.ecfmg.org/results.asp?co...=Asia&psize=25

the website is http://www.shifacollege.edu/ im in new jersey right now, the owners of that school used to live in new jersey, they are our family friends. i went to check out that school back in 1999, but it was not recognized back then,,,the school is really hi-tech,,,,the buildings are nice,, way better than its neighbor, rawalpindi medical college, the only thing that troubles me is that its 5 years and you gotta do clinicals in pakistan, if i was just out of high school i would go there but now after completing college, i rather go to a 4 year medical college with clinicals in the states.

I'm presently a senior in high school in the US, and will be applying to Medical college in Pakistan in 2005. My primary choices are either DOW or AKU, and I wanted to know what the major differences and similarities are between the two colleges. I would also like to know if DOW provides clinicals in the US. Opinions about the eductaional quality of DOW from DOW students would also be appreciated.
Thank You

dow medical college is government owned medical college and is consider to be best among all government run medical college now it has been given university status this year (DOW UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCE DUHS new name )in pakistan if u r applying as pakistan citizen then dow is first choice as government subsidize fees so we dont have to pay huge amount of fees and most ppl get scholarship and as government owned hospital cater general population thats why lots and lots of patient and students r approx 300 as far as aku is concerned it is privately owned so if some pakistani have to apply he or she has to pay huge bucks and the patient r elite other wise aku is consider to be finest ,high tech, clean and one of the best institution among south asia ... so if u r applying as foreigner then aku should be first priority other private institution r also there like baqai , ziauddin, hamdard but aku is best among them ..students mostly ranges from 50 -80

I am a 2nd year AKU medical student.

I dont think you can compare AKU with DOW. 8)

AKU has standards comparable to the US, and the USMLE pass rate is 100%.

still dow is consider to be best among general population and most of the students pay less in 5 years then wat u pay in a single month so most of the student cant afford usmle fees they have to wait untill they can earn that much as far as pass percentage concerned and marks r do u know how high they score in usmle and other exams ....
