URGENT: Equivalence/Admission for A Level

[Saad (سعد)]

Allahumma Salli 'alaa Habeebik. (O God, bless Your Beloved, Sall-Allahu 'alayHi wa AaliHi waSallam)

As-Salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu.

The admissions for UHS MCAT are between 20th and 27th August. They demand an equivalence certificate for A-Level.

It takes from 3-15 days for getting the Equivalence, for which IBCC demands the General Certificate of Education for A-Levels.

The Statement of Results and Certificates of our A-Level results are not due for two weeks from now.

So... how do we get admission into MCAT if there's no way we'll get our Equivalence in time?

WS!
Saad, the dates are from 20th to 30th actually, for submitting the forms actually.
We can always get a HOPE certificate from our schools for the matter, if equivalence is not made in time.

 

[Jinkglex]

I dont think hope certificate works for A levels...dunno for sure though

 

[OakMoon!]

Get the hope certificate as equivalency is not made on the provisional result. Last year many students got the hope certificates to apply for MCAT.

As-Salaamu 'alaykum wa Rahmatullah.

So what should the Hope Certificate look like? "Principal: I am confident that ___ s/o ____ will secure 60%+ marks once his equivalence is made for A-Levels"? That kind of thing?

Yeah, something like that. It should be drafted out on your school's letter pad.

and what if you're a private candidate?

Where exactly do you go for submitting application to appear for MCAT? To UHS Lahore? Or can one do so at any public-level medical college like PMC Faisalabad where I live?

You should contact the administration of MCAT for this information.

There are specific medical colleges that provide you with the prospectus and the whole application booklet. You'll have to submit it at the same place as you collect it. The colleges with the availability of the booklets are informed at the UHS website.

"The Entrance Test Kit containing the Information Booklet, Application Form and Admittance Cards will be available as per given schedule at UHS Lahore and all public sector Medical Colleges of the Punjab, on payment of Rs.500/- in cash.

The candidate will have to submit the duly filled application forms by hand alongwith all required documents as given in the Information Booklet, at the same centre from where he/she received the kit as per the given schedule."

You need to get an affidavit made on a stamp paper (20 rupees one is reasonable), which should be attested! The affidavit is what they are asking for, (submitted mine yesterday) it should say ur a level grades, and say that they make 60% plus in the HSSC equi and that if its not 60% u will not hold any claims and accept any decision made by the UHS. Good luck!
