hmmm :/ is private colleges good?

You can't get a lot of governmental medical jobs through a private college, because most of them aren't even fully recognized, like Hamid Latif. You'll have to do some original things, but I'm not 100% sure.
Still government colleges are surely better than private ones. Private ones are only like last resorts if you can't get into any government ones.
This leads to another question I have, after doing A levels, and not getting addmission into any Pakistan medical colleges, is it better to choose Pakistani private medical colleges, or foreign medical colleges from other countries, maybe private or governmental or whatever?

Waiting.. for my IGCSE's (Edexcel) Results.. for 5 subs Expecting 3-4 A*s / 1-2 A's

Will most likely take A-Levels, as FSc is quite different and much harder to transition from IGCSE's..

As u have stated that u wanna be criminologist then biology and chemistry is must along with any othr one sub in Alevels. By choosing these sub u can go in biomedical sciences , biotechnology,bio chemistry ,cell biology and criminology. and maths will be preferable as ur third sub.
and if u don't wanna be a Dr or don't want to go in the field of chem then maths and phy are must and there's no need of bio or even chem for it.

So to keep your all options open then go for all of these 4 subjects in Alevels.

Go for that career in which u have an interest and which should have alot of job opportunities when you graduate from the university.

Yes of course criminologist do have a vast opportunities for the jobs especially in Uk there's a great demand for them if im not wrong.
Well if depends from person to person ...Ppl do scare about that but personally i feel NO.

idk about edexal but for CIE , one can take biology in Alevels without studing in Olevels but it will get difficult to understand as the basic concepts are in Olevels ...so i'll suggest u to cover and study Olevels bio asap and then immediately start studying Alevels biology ...without appearing in Olevels biology. and onething more ..In AS bio hardly one or two chs are releated from Olevels bio so atleast u can easily cope ur with AS.

I think yes and it will be better then criminology ....but for that u have to study BIOLOGY in Alevels :p

you're welcome :)
