If you are thinking that age is not on your side. Age is still very much on your side. In medical school, you will see people in their thirties coming back for Medicine. I even have one as a coursemate. By the time you enter, you won't even have the time to think about your age because you will be carried away with Medicine.

Hi Oluwanimi. Good evening, you asked for advice based on admission experience in those schools mentioned. I know of OAU (cuz I had my first degree there) & UI. Two very transparent but not so easy to get into. Any aspirant with solid utme score and choose any of the two (OAU /UI) for MBBS. If you have a flawless O'levels, it'll boost your chances in OAU since the school still factor that in during aggregate calculation.
I've not sat for UI post utme before but there are solid tutorials in Ibadan that boasts of aspirants who aced the exam like it was nothing. So if you're considering UI, first have a mad ass utme score, then find your way to Ibadan, make enquiries about those tutorial centers and work your ass off studying. I can bet it that you'll make the right score to beat UI cut off. I'm not guaranteeing you admission but I'm here to tell you that I know a few medical students in UI who got in without knowing anybody or paying anybody. Just their results and since UI always publishes her cut off, so you can be guaranteed that if you meet her cut off you'll get in.
As regards OAU, well, she's like UI - transparent but not so simple. OAU post utme is 40% of the whole score, Utme is 50%, while WAEC is 10%. So even without sitting for the post utme yet. If you add your utme + WAEC aggregates together, you should have a maximum of 60%. So calculate your jamb score and your WAEC aggregates first, anything you get, subtract it from OAU 78.8 (that's the merit score for the ongoing 2021/2022 admission excersice). The remainder should be what you'd be aiming for in OAU post utme.
I have a friend who had 327 in utme and B parallel in his O'levels. Like that he already has (40.875 + 9) = 49.875. When he subtracted it from the last cut off, he needed to score at least 30/40 in OAU post utme to beat the merit cut of. And as it would turn out, he actually scored 30/40 in the exam. He was above this year's cut of by just 1 point if we use merit and by 3 points if we use catchment area. OAU post utme is not simple and at the same time, it's not the hardest exam in the world. In fact, I felt the last conducted one was quite easy as many that I know scored well.
UI still has a pending year in ground. Her fresher's would resume most likely maybe March next year. So if you're choosing them you'd resume by 2024. OAU on the other hand has a stable and balanced academic set. The 2021/2020 session is set to begin by January so if you're picking them now, you should expect to resume by maybe early 2023 or so. (all things equal without strike.)
The major issue right now is you acing your utme. Once you have a very good score in jamb, it'll make the list of institutions available for you to pick form longer. Different school use different admission methods. Have a good jamb score. Do your research about your school of choice. And apply to where you have the greatest chance of entry. That's the trick in few simple lines. All the best

Well-done for the analysis chief. Actually U I didn't have an outstanding session again. The ones offered admission recently will resume next year. So, if he writes UTME and gain admission into U I, he will resume in 2023. Other things being equal.

The reason why U I didn't have an outstanding set (pending year) again is because, she didn't admit any student from this year UTME.

Stay away from Mbbs if surgery isn't your interest.
No point wasting years to get Mbbs if your aim ain't surgery.
You can be great and be involved in healthcare with other courses, just research.
Pharmacy isn't a substitute for Medicine, pharmacy isn't clinically oriented. It is more chemically oriented, product oriented and less patient centred (no pharmacy students/pharmacist should quote me).
Consider nursing if u love clinical sciences just don't stay in Nigeria after
Consider radiography if you have things for bio physical sciences
Consider MedLab if you love laboratories (I fkin love the labs but didn't do this)
Consider Biomedical Engineering if you are torn between engineering and medicine
And so on.
Only village people think MBBS is alpha and omega, world is evolving, no problem if you try once or twice but sitting at home for 6years because of MBBS is the height of foolishness, oh except you want to be a surgeon of which without MBBS you can't start being one.
Fatherly advice

Dear doctor, at 21, trully, you are behind time (if compared to the expected age of admission) but in reality, you are young!

That being said, don't let your age be an issue; if you want it, go for it, your age notwithstanding. If you don't get it, you may never be satisfied in life.

Please keep trying; be smart and prayerful about it too.

God would perfect things eventually.

Good morning.
