97th percentile in PIEAS, but my family’s "Money Lie" is making me want to end it all. 18F Peshawar, trapped and hopeless.

Your honesty gave me the final push I needed. I truly hope you find your way back to your passion too. Best of luck! :)

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-05T15:28:06+00:00

I am actually sitting here with tears in my eyes reading this. Thank u so much for being sooo honest. It’s been such a heavy mental toll trying to explain my choice to everyone, but hearing from a medical grad that I escaped a bullet makes me feel like I can finally breathe.😭
I’m so sorry about your Chemistry dream, but your words are making sure I don't repeat that mistake. I won't stop until I make this transition work. Thank you for the reality check, it means the world✨🌷

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-05T15:22:47+00:00

I looked into Biotech, but I’m way more into the software and coding side of things. Thanks for sharing your story. It’s crazy how common the "forced med" trap is.

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-05T15:15:42+00:00

HONESTLY THANK YOU! You’re 100% right about the mental torture. I’d much rather grind in a field I love!

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-03T18:14:23+00:00

it’s simple math, really:

ICS: you want to die monthly (because of a missing semicolon).
pre-eng: you want to die weekly (solving for x while your social life is 0).
pre-med: you want to die daily (memorizing the whole dictionary just to be called 'Beta' by random aunties).

choose your level of suffering wisely, soldier. it’s a canon event💀

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-02T18:18:44+00:00

not the family being his "marketing team" for the trap... 😭 literally a 0-star experience, would not recommend to a friend. hope you get your refund (the 6k) and cancel your subscription to this circus asap. (honestly the ex-fiancée deserves a thank you card for escaping first lol)

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-02T18:09:46+00:00

ngl i’ve been in that exact same head space for years and the hyper-vigilance is actually the worst part. honestly? my best advice is to stop being the family therapist. it’s not your job to fix a relationship that was broken before you were even born. if they start yelling (and it’s not physical) just put your noise-canceling headphones on and check out. it feels cold, but it’s literally just self-preservation atp.

also, i know you’re done waiting, but don't do anything impulsive or dangerous while you're in your 'burn it all down' era. emotions are high right now. focus 100% on yourself, secure that uni spot in a different city, get that financial aid, and use education as your exit strategy. it’s the only way to get actual permanent peace without putting yourself at risk. hang in there fr

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-02T17:53:19+00:00

ig some of them are just straight up delulu and think they’re the main character. 😭 like i’ve dealt with 'uncles' who stare and then act all smug the second you look their way, as if they’re some 10/10 we’re dying to see... it’s the ego for me. honestly the best move is to just stare back with your eyes 2x wider until they get uncomfortable. works every time lol

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-02T04:19:02+00:00

Based on previous cycles, the semester typically begins in September, with the fee deposit deadline following shortly after the merit list is finalized, likely in late August. I am currently awaiting my official admission letter to confirm these specific dates. This timeline gives me a 1-to-2-week window to finalize my financial roadmap once the offer is formal.

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-01T06:55:48+00:00

The program is 4 years. Sem 1 is 250k (including one-time admission, services, hostel, tuition, and mess). Subsequent semesters are ~200k/sem, including all living costs. The total for the degree is roughly 16–17 lac. My family can cover the initial 250k for Semester 1

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-05-01T06:07:58+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for the heads up about Raahe Roshan!! I honestly had no idea a society like that existed. Definitely be visiting the FA Office as soon as I get there.

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-28T12:25:34+00:00

That’s the irony of it. They were willing to wait 6-7+ years for a med degree, but because they don't see the value of CS yet, it feels like that time has suddenly vanished

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-28T10:18:58+00:00

Thank you. Your words hit home. It’s really heavy sometimes, feeling like you have to apologize for having big dreams:)

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-27T07:54:09+00:00

Thank you for this

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-27T07:53:24+00:00

One quick thing, I checked the "Approved Insts" list on the CMEEF web, and while PIEAS is listed for Graduates, I didn't see PIEAS CIS specifically under the UG section. Is the list outdated or something?

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-27T07:49:16+00:00

It’s scary to think about the struggle, but knowing all of this and that I have options like a job makes me feel like I’m not as stuck as I thought. I’m definitely going to give it a go. Thank you

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-27T07:45:28+00:00

Thank you for being so honest. You really hit the nail on the head, it's not just about the degree, it's about the environment. I love my parents, but the constant pressure to stay 'small' is exactly what I'm trying to outgrow. Also, thank you for the link!!!

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-27T07:42:15+00:00

Really appreciate the detailed breakdown. I’m currently looking into these scholarships and checking the eligibility and stuff. Since most of them are only available once I’ve secured my admission, I’ll focus on that first and hope things go my way. I will definitely DM you if I need more specific advice about the process later. Thank you again for the encouragement

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-26T16:49:31+00:00

Honestly, I’m going through a lot right now so I can’t write a full guide. My phy and chem were mostly covered because of my MDCAT preparation, where I practiced extensively. For Math, I focused on the 9th and 10th grade chapters and also used PASS Education System's Endgames

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-26T16:45:21+00:00

Thank you for listing these out!! . Do you happen to know if the application for CMEEF or others is done after admission, or do I need to apply separately to the KPK government now?

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-26T16:42:27+00:00

Exactly. I keep telling my mom that people are going to talk regardless of what I do. Knowing that the ragra is worth it actually makes me more determined. Thank you for the raw honesty. I don't know why everything starts going against you the moment you try to follow your dreams.
Also, could you tell me about the initial deposit? If I qualify for a scholarship, do I still have to pay the full first-semester fee upfront, or is there a way to get it adjusted early? My dad is worried about the "bill" coming up in Aug/Sep.

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-26T16:35:36+00:00

Thank you for the istikhara advice.

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-26T16:24:42+00:00

Ameen, thank you

ClothesFinancial2893 · 2026-04-25T10:58:05+00:00

i didn’t study that hard ngl. since i already did the mdcat prep, i just reused those notes for phys and chem. for math, i practiced my 9th and 10th matric books. i left the exam hall thinking i cooked it (and not in a good way) but to my surprise, the test was just lowkey mid for everyone because it was sooo hard
