Now this is what ia am talking about... A FEMALE FOREIGN MEDIC!!!!

Please I want u to answer questions concerning studying abroad, USMLE, etc....

Oops, I forgot to say WELCOME!!!

sure, i'll answer the ones i can.

Lagusta:


Hmmm, past questions from nigerian universities... That will be a bit difficult ooo... This is because our PQs are usually scattered, and the format in one schl could be different from another

But, I will still try shaaa...

I know, but i'll appreciate if i can get something. Just to be sure what we're doing is worth the money and time nd that i can still stand shoulder to shoulder with my nigerian colleagues.

Phoenix6278: @alutacontinue, welcome! I have some questions regarding USLME, pls can u add me mattofuture@yahoo.com. Finally, females are joining the thread, were u guys scared or what #just kidding

@Phoenix6278
I'll try and send the request on yahoomail.
Did not even know about this thread before as i was more of the family section. But, i'm glad i'm here now.

@alutacontinua which part of the caribbean are u in... I heard jamaica is a good place to study medicine, is it true??

@Lagusta, not sure about Jamaica but i'm in ..........

alutacontinua: @Lagusta, not sure about Jamaica but i'm in dominica.

Oooook

Nice 2 mit u colleague!CONGRATS 2 U 2U! I blv clearance wil start in a mata of wks bt i hear in sum quarters dat it wil start nov 5.,..do u knw if dat ix true? Am preparin 4 it sha..hopin 2 u den!

glowin2shyn: @afeisume,congrats! i was also admitd in2 uniben 4 d xame course, how is clearance preparatn going?

@glowin2shyn, pls add me wit 'afezmak' on 2go n lets chat!

Lagusta:


This question has also puzzled me seriously...

Most of my lecturers always say that medics are the most brilliant and intelligent of all students.... But I find it hard to be true....

To me, I believe anybody can read medicine, but the zeal must be there... Also, no distractions like babes, clubbing, etc

There are a lot of my former colleagues that are far more intelligent than me, but were withdrawn even at 200L...

So, that's it!!!

Hello medics and medics to be.
I am a staunch and a die hard medical aspirant of any reputable medical
school.
Medicine had cost me 2 gud years.
I did jamb last year with 251 and 257 in jamb and oau postjamb
respectively.(cutoff was 295)
I had 60%(cutoff shud be 70%) in lautech also.
This year, i had d gusto and determination to score @ least 280 in jamb
but unfortunately I had 245, I later changed my institution to eksu to
secure more chances of getting medicine.
@ d end.. I had 69.1%. I didnt make it in d 1st list due to indigene
tosh(though peeps wirh 64% made it in catchment).
I av given up on eksu since d mbbs has not been accredited.
I did fuoye's pjamb with 66%. she admitted me to study soil science which i loathe.
Now, I know no one denies me of my admission but my mediocrity.
I did oaupd entrance with 79% dis year with d sole aim of getting
medicine next year.
Pls, I want pep up talk and encouraging words 4rm docs in dis rum so as
for me not to give up on my dream. pls, what were ur challenges nd setbacks b4
getting admission to study MBBS?
I av always dreamt of setting d pace in d medical world.
I am set now to step out of my mediocrity which has made my dream
unrealistic.
Pls, how true re stories of dose using 3-6 years b4 getting medicine?
Thanks in anticipation.
Pls, i need prodding.
i am desperate to be a medic

i don't know much about those who use 3-6yrs b4 getting d opportunity to study medicine, but i wrote JAMB only once and i'm now a fresher at unilag with a jamb score of 242 and post utme of 82.5% . Maybe u need to do ur homework really damn well, work while others are playing, read while others are sleeping and most importantly put ur trust in God, dat's all. And also never try to pass thru d backdoor in JAMB no matter d fustration, post utme will separate d seed 4rm d chaff.
CHEERS!!!

@Dr. Gboy, it depends on the country u're willing to go. I am in the carribean and it's a little bit expensive(compared to nigeria) but cheaper (compared to other carribean and american universities). Although, countries like Ukraine and Hungary seem to be a lot cheaper also. All in all, it depends on your financial status or whoever is sponsoring you. But studying abroad is not easy oh(for an average nigerian).

kk, thanks alot 4 d info.as 4 now i'll stay here in 9ja, later i might study in university of kansas.

About the cgpa, I don't kno of other schools but here in ilorin, u must hav straight Cs or above in all courses, u must not hav a D in any two core courses... So that makes a cgpa of 3.0... U can take a cue from that!!!
