Does This WASSCE Result Stand A Chance In Medicine And Surgery? by DIVINEEVIDENCE: 8:17am On Jan 15, 2022
Good morning Nairaland.

Education gurus in the house, I need some advice, please.

I'm about rounding up my first degree in an Engineering course, while also preparing to apply for another first degree in Medicine and Surgery.

I initially planned sitting for the GCE 2022 second series exams, just so I could obtain a stronger O'Level certificate.

However, I fished out my current WASSCE certificate this morning and somehow wondered whether it might stand a chance, fully considering the possibility of missing a whole year while waiting for the GCE results to be released.

So, I would love to find out from the experienced educators in the house: should I fill in with this particular result and concentrate on scoring higher marks in JAMB?

Or, should I ignore it altogether and go for a stronger WASSCE certificate?

Thank you.

I don't know about other schools but in OAU your O'level is just 10% of your total score so what grade you've got doesn't really matter

Depends on the school….

In my school, all they need for medicine is just passing at one sitting, no one cares if it’s C6 parallel

It depends , avoid schools that use O lev el results to calculate your aggregate score.
I'm also an engineering student who wanted to study medicine but gave up after two attempts due to this o level stuff.
Just avoid schools that use o level and you'll be fine.

Thanks everyone.

The school I'm considering applying to takes SSCE grades into consideration.

I've been advised to aim for a very high score in UTME, which is just what I'll do.

JAMB Score: 279 angry undecided

Currently hoping on God for a miracle since my state falls within the catchment area.
