You guys need to give a short highlight of your 1st semester.

I'll leave the stage for Donpre

Donpre:

Fine, not all it was hyped to be tho.

You guys done with first semester?

It was hyped? You had it too easy?.

It's like you weren't punctual in school. Gat nothing to tell?.

SamanN:


What did you Expect? I was going to accept it , the UTME i did was just fair. Lost the zeal to push on. Even my O'level grades aren't helping matters. Some candidates aspiring for same course school blasted jamb like no man's business, complemented with Distinctions in O'level. 300+ flying all around,some guys no get chill. I just don't want to further this course beyond 100 Level. God help me.

SamanN:


I'm not doing that great, I thank God the admission didn't leave me wanting. OAU just resumed today. I'm not thinking of stepping my foot in school this week.

Just resumed? OAU can slow sha.

You didn't sound like you'd push through with it. I'm glad you did tho. Anything na something

I'm surprised you didn't smash jamb, but I do understand that things happens. Atall atall Putme dey to smash.

First semester? Sure I could. Its quite the boring story tho, filled with routines and cycles.

I greet all the bosses here.

Boring story? I don't get, What cycles?.

Who post UTME help? I just hope I can get that influential personnel that can work things out. I'm always angry at any thought of school with a course you do not passion. But I still thank God, it won't be funny if I'm still home.

First semester....

We were what one if my coursemate called Scalars. Lotta magnitude, zero direction. Finding lecture halls and adjusting to the timetable was hard. Then there was the meeting and knowing over a hundred coursemates. Wasn't such an easy task.

I remember the "Jesus, are we to finish all this?" moment when we got our textbooks. That's how guys started jacking like crazy. Ah swear med students can be too serious. The phy, Chem and bio was much of what we already knew. The zoology and GSTs were the larger burdens, especially zoology. I've never had to memorize so much taxonomy in my life... Super, sub and infra classes, for only the class taxon.

About the routine-cycle stuff. Seriously, school is boring. All you do all day is, wake up, shout "Jesus I'm late!", rush down to school to meet an already filled class. Stand and sweat for two hours. Rush down to another filled hall, sweat some more. Hit the library if you've got the time, head home, find chow, sleep then Repeat.

There were funny moments tho, some lecturers are just comedians with a certificate. Matric day was also a thrill. Last last, I'm just glad its over.

Alright Optimist, over to you.

@bolded... That doesn't sound like you tho. I expected tenacity and zeal to overcome all odds but that just sound like you calling it quit.

I score 286 MBBS uniabuja

Hello bro. I applied UniAbuja MBBS this year. How did it go?



I wish I had found this thread earlier. Great Minds here.

I'm just being frustrated, the cut-off mark seem infeasible. I've not seen a single person that met the requirements, most I've seen used human influence. Someone with 53%, and her name came out. I've seen some on nairaland with 290+ last year, they got nothing. The admission process to me is not very transparent, if anything; it only favours the predites. What's the essence of hard work with nothing to show?.

I totally get where you're coming from and I can't fault you for adapting(trying to adapt) to the crooked system we've got. I pray it works out

Thanks boss, you re-ignited the light in me. I'll try my best in preparing for post utme without it affecting school activities.

I can feel your pain bro. But the admission does not only favour the predites but I will say a large percentage. This last admission process was worse as most top courses were 75-80% that was admitted last year. I herad they received a query from jamb becauuse of that self. But you still can't blame them cos they don't always want to compare predites to jambites cos of the rigours involved. So all aspirants are not on the same level. OAU will always prefer a predite to a jambite. But lemme tell you the pre degree sef, they still dey runz am. It's just pathetic. That's OAU for you

Try to get their pre degree materials as most of their questions are from what is taught in pre degree

I think you are very familiar to the school system. The query they received what effect will that have, are going to stop putting Jambites percentage on Predites level?. Most Jambites admitted to the supposedly top courses are through connections.

About putting both on the same level maybe maybe not. But there will always be people who will still enter back door. Most lecturers don't hide that fact. Most will boldly say it in class. Since you are now a part one student, you too now have advantage over ordinary jambites especially in the post utme.
P.S: 90% of what is taught in pre degree are from 100 level syllabus

Good evening to everyone in the house

pls ,is there any OAU medical student here?

if yes ,I would like to ask some questions because I need some clarifications on some things .
