your equivalence is close to 89.4% for SSC
SSC counts 10%

Your SSC marks from Olevels add into Alevel marks to form HSSC. HSSC counts 40%
Olevels is really really important. If you get 3A* in sciences in Alevels then ur total score out of 50% will be 44.75%

KE this year was 90.0039%. So you need approximately 45.24% from 50%. Mcat counts 50%
this would be equivalent to 995 marks in mcat from 1100.

If you work hard, you can get 1000 marks in MCAT. Anything above 1000 in mcat is pure luck. I mean getting 200 questions correct from 220 questions is no easy feat.

So get 3A* in sciences. If you have 5-6 subjects in Alevels, drop them. Only 3 sciences count for equivalence

Ive some questions
In how many attempts did you give Olevels in?
What was the time gap between the sessions if you gave Olevels in multiple sessions?
Have you got your SSC equivalence made? If not have it made. Unless you have your SSC equivalence made, they wont make your HSSC equivalence

Where is your domicile from? (its a document you need later on. It is an old equivalent of nic, used in british times. Its just remnant of it. U MUST have a domicile of Punjab to apply for govt medical colleges of Punjab. Usually your domicile is from where u were born.

B's in AS are very hard to turn into A*. Almost impossible without repeating whole of Alevels

If you want to, then drop maths. It doesnt count for equivalence for medical. Engineering ECAT is too much fsc. Your only option for engineering is LUMS or NUST. Since you are interested in medicine, then I dont see much importance for maths

Repeat whole of Alevels (AS and A2) in may/june. Try to get 3A* in phy,chem and bio. You must not get complacent about Alevels. Every mark counts here. merit goes to 4 decimal places

I am not exactly sure about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. You better confirm it

BUT Olevel grades are very important.

SSC
800 marks from Olevels

HSSC
800 marks from Olevels
Only 300 from Alevels

This process I think is applied nationally as equivalences are made in Islamabad

Agha Khan is also a good option. You should apply as a backup incase you dont get admission in govt medical colleges but get admission into Agha Khan. 2 of my friends had gotten admission into AKU but failed to make into govt medical colleges of Punjab, so they went to AKU

Where is your domicile from? Sometimes some people dont have a domicile of province in which they are living (they had usually lived in another province for a longer time). Usually domicile is from where you are born
