<p>Kunfuzed101,</p>
<p>I am going to be graduating next year 2008 from high school. I have a 3.75 unweighted g.p.a and a 4.23 weighted and probably rank in the top 10% of my class of 450. Over the last 3 years I have taken as many diff. and challenging courses as I was permitted to.
Of the sciences I have taken biology, Ap biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy and Physiology, Environmental science and lastly forensics science. I have got A’s in all except for AP bio (which I got a B in). I have also been able to participate and conduct a research with a doctor from NIH in Bethasda, MD. ( Low level but still a cool experience; it was an extension of my ap bioloy class. independent research)</p>
<p>Over the last couple of years I have come across a couple of guys who went to med. school in pakistan, some even directly from high school. Anyways because of this my parents have also wanted me to look into this. I could probably get into any of the state colleges/universities here with possibly some sort of scholarship money, and most probably I woundnt have to pay much for undergrad here since I should be able to get a merit based scholarship and and some need based finance. I wouldnt really consider myself to be all that smart, if anything maybe a hard worker. I am in National honors society at my HS and also in the AP scholars program which the college board runs. Students who have taken 6 or more AP classes over their high school careers and have received an average of 3.25 on all tests are given this recog.( Ive heard college admission officers here recognize alot especially since it shows the williness to work harder and rigor of course load)</p>
<p>And now finally the question lol. Do you think I have a chance of getting into a gov. med. school in pakistan and if so possibly which ones… I have not been back to pakistan since 10 years now…but in no way was I raised as spoiled kid here in America, and if I go back i think after a couple of weeks I should not have a problem. Your honest opinions will be very much appreciated as I am just tying to open up more options for myself. Thank you in advance Kunfuzed101 . thanks for reading and sorry for the long post</p>
<p>o yea my last question…Is the SAT I required for all public medical schools in pakistan. I knw of some guys from here that went based on the IBCC. I might be wrong. Anyways, to me after reading this thread it seems like the SAT I is required for all public med. schools. Correct me if I am wrong</p>
