As this is mainly an introduction thread, you'll be better off trying to get your answers from the rest of the forum where there's already tons of information regarding your exact situation. Good luck!

As far as I know, 60% is the minimum required to apply.

Thanks.
I was taking classes at a community college for Physics and Chemistry, does that mean I need two of each to equal to one year?
My college runs by quarters..

I'm fairly certain that you'll be required to take 3 quarters(fall, winter, spring) of each in order to fulfill the 1 year requirement. I had taken 1 semester and an additional quarter of physics and only after a LOT of arguing was I able to convince them to accept it as a full year(technically it comes out to 4/5 of a year)...arguing your way through on only a quarter would be pretty hard to accomplish.

Really?
Because what you learn in one quarter is usually what you learn in one year in High School..At least that's how the math classes are set up. :/

Hey, I'm new to this site. Was interested in applying to pakistan for medical.
I understand one needs to get american highschool grades into fsc equivelence.

I was not such a good student in highschool. I got my equivilancy done last year and I was short 6 marks from first division. I went to a community college here for a year and did exceptionally well. I wanted to know that will they consider my community college grades with my highschool for my equivalancy this time around?
Thanks.

Nope.

The only exception would be if you took a course that is required for equivalence in college that you did not already take in high school. However, since you said that you have already gotten an equivalence score made before I'm assuming that this exception does not apply to you.

important question:

Is it true that you don't need IBBC equivalence if you have SAT II scores in Bio, Chem, and Physics? I ask this because I got accepted based off my SAT II scores. They didn't ask for my IBBC.

I also heard that you can't graduate with a M.B.B.S if you don't have your IBBC minimum of 600. If that is true, I better get my IBBC.

Actually isn't there something called Improvement marks? Where you can take current classes and improve your marks
This is Inter Board Committee of Chairman

All the on the bottom, the last option?
