Ogah, continue ur studies..
If u wish to apply somewhere else, remain in school while u do that.

Once the school is accredited, u dont have a problem.

You just lied.. Ah! 2015 ke?? Unimed have been graduating medical students since, and they have one of the best facilities... There medical school started since, except you are talking about security purposes..... But people are still studying there and graduating...

Godmademan:
i hear there is a scholarship for medical students from northern part of nigeria....can anyone verify this info please?

Elzak:
what is the name of the scholarship?

kempreze:


who is telling you that bullshit?
B/c you got medicine on a platter that why you are listening to nonsense abi?
when you spend over 10 years of your life applying for medicine in a federal uni and your mates that continued in ANSU graduates and becomes consultants, your eye go clear.
Quit talking nonsense and face your studies.
Besides ANSU has accreditation.

Easymoneychampa:
my case Is similar to d OP above. I applied to unilag but later change to oou mbbs due to competition and got it. But Im in love with unilag due to its better standard and lesser fees.do u think I should give u lag one last trial I'm nineteen .

Mandeyy:
Which better standards? All these federal universities are overrated. Just stay where you are and graduate. Medicine is the same in all the universities in terms of first degree insofar as it was accredited by NUC and MDCN. You should be grateful to God that you got admission on a platter of gold. Some of these state universities are even overtaking some federal universities in medicine. If your parents can afford the school fee, stay there. You may graduate and even know more than the guys who went to federal universities. All these federal universities rush their basic medical science courses and within 3 semesters they'll tell you they've finished them, without the students knowing much, but state universities take time to teach them and then take the 2nd MBBS exams after 4 semesters. They go deep. I took my time to assess and compare federal and state universities.

Unilag takes the 2nd MBBS after 3 semesters. There's never a way it will cover much. I'm in a federal university. So, i know better. Federal universities rush their programmes and it's not good to do so in medicine.


The other day, a medical doctor was telling somebody that during his youth service at UBTH in 1990, he was operated upon and he was surprised to see that some medical students came for a ward round after it had ended. He was telling somebody that the quality of medical education has dropped due to excessive admission without improving infrastructures and without employing more medical lecturers. He said that there were about 50 medical students per one consultant in that ward round, unlike his own days when there were 5 assigned to one consultant. So, that's the problem of federal universities. State universities admit fewer students.

I have also seen a consultant who did her residency at UNILAG and complained of obsolete equipment there, except it has been improved now. The problem is that the management will try to hide the truth. Recently, UNILAG dental students equally complained of obsolete equipment. It's not peculiar to UNILAG. Most of these federal universities as well as state universities have the same issue of underfunding, poor infrastructures, etc. Nigeria is totally bad everywhere!

Just go to UNN and see for urself what i'm saying here. The management will over-admit medical and dental students without improving infrastructures. The old buildings Drs Chris Ngige, Okwesilieze Nwodo and Peter Odili used then in the 70's are what they are still using. No improvement! Come to Ebonyi State University (EBSU), you'll discover it has better facilities than UNN medical school. Then, you'll begin to wonder. Let's face reality and fact. I hate painting lies to seem truthful. Some federal universities have lost their glories. They only carry empty big names.

All the best with ur opinion but that doesn't change the fact these schools u just denigrated attract the best out of many and will also produce the best

Mandeyy:
I didn't denigrate them. I can't hide the truth any longer. I'm in a federal university too.

Mandeyy:
And it's not true that they produce the best. There is no single exam to test ur assumption.

Ok, I'm 22, I Have a Bsc with a 2.1(3.93) in Microbiology from Uniport and I've successfully completed my NYSC. I wish to pick a DE form for medicine in UI.
1. What are my chances of admission?
2. Does UI consider their graduates first?
3. How is the selection done? (are some gpa's considered before others or they just consider "2.1"
Please any idea?
4. Which other school can I apply to?

ISISs:
