I wanted to ask what are the scholarship requirements for admission in Harvard and univeristy of Cambridge?

I have read that cambridge has an entrr requirement of a minimum of 1 A* and 2 A in a level
But what are the scholarship requirements for different levels (ie. 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% scholarship) for o level, a level, and others?

Informaton on scholarship requirements of other medical unis will be appreciated

well these are tough unis
harvard is good for sciences and cambridge for business side
i think harvard gives you fee according to your family income, for needy students sufficient help is provided so paying the fee isnt the problem the problem is just admission
To have a good chance you should have something like 10+ A*s in olevel and 5+ in a/as, most preferable is that all related to your field (for harvard sat is necessary so aim for 2300+, and you are in )
however this will not be sufficient alone, the best unis use something known as holistic admissions which means that they will not grade you only on academics, you have to show which sports you are good at (football, basketball etc ), what artistic skills you have (literature, music painting etc. ) and your positive hobbies and interests (debating etc.)

For medical Pakistan really isnt bad, if you go to america you will have to do bsc and then mbbs, which will take a long time indeed, Pakistani medical colleges have a good reputation globally

it isnt something compulsory, the thing is you have to prove you are a talented guy, instead of spending time on another subject, you could find some talent of yours and polish it, or you may (as an example ) get involved in the clinic of some relative, help around, get to know things actually and practically and then you can mention it later on as a useful experience
however if you must then sociology is quite useful in medical side

it was a general example, 5 isnt something compulsory or somewhere even close it
all you need to do is prove yourself whether you did academically or otherwise but preferably both
there are hundreds of good universities out there and no determined indivisual is left behind
just give your best in whatever form you can (y)

Yeah dude I guess absolutely most definitely you will get an admission if you achieve your goal (y)
scholarship is a secondary thing and is decided after admission I guess and hence it is always uncertain though in your application you can mention it and they can give you a good idea beforehand if they wish
but you have a very high chance of getting one either by the institute or some private group

How are your extra-curricular activities, internships etc. ? You are taking Music that implies that you practically also spend time on it as a hobby and are good at some instrument. Stuff like this is necessary for unis with "holistic" admission policy :)
