I don't mind applying and attending a Paki college, in fact I like the idea, but I don't know if I am too late to start applying for it.
As I have read that the deadline is Aug 31st or Sept 1st, and tentative.
I have graduated High School, Alhamdulillah.
I have taken at least a year of bio, chem, and phyz.
Is that all the requirements I should be worried about?
How about preparing for the MCAT? |
Welcome to the forum Maleeha. Please read
ARE YOU APPLYING TO PAKISTAN MEDICAL SCHOOLS OR COLLEGES? READ THIS FIRST!!! thoroughly, it briefly outlines the procedure of applying to Pakistani med schools and will answer a lot of your questions(requirements, etc).
Oh and just to clear up any confusion -- for government schools foreigners NEVER have to take an entrance test, at some private schools they can take the test as an alternative to submitting certain test scores that the individual school requires(such as SAT IIs).
First thing to worry about is getting an IBCC certificate made. The following thread has tons of info on the process:

Are the seats split equally between each school? More seats for gov't schools than private, perhaps? |
There's generally more seats in private schools than government. At Shifa(private school) there isn't a set number of seats for foreigners, the amount accepted varies from year to year.
