All right chief, what will their departmental/merit cut off mark look like?
Their cut off marks are usually moderate. With a score of 250 and good o'level you are in.

I can't really say oo.

If you are from Ebonyi, I would have said it's good.

Enugu is part of catchment states so your chances are pretty good though.

Honestly speaking, your chances are low bro. There are factors to consider including the high number of applicants because of this ASUU strike. Even in our time when the applicants weren't much, the benchmark for merit was 280.

Hi guys I stumbled on this thread. I'm also applying for mbbs but lasu. I don't know if anyone here has experience with lasu. I scored 298 in jamb however after calculating my aggregate I realized I ganered 76.25 . What do you think guys. Do you think I'm safe. I'm actually in BUK studying nursing but I want to change course. I still chose BUK but now with this strike I'm considering changing to Lasu due to lack of strike.

76.26 won't get you medicine in lasu or unless you indigene of lagos state and if 76.26% is still unlikely to get you medicine.

I should be more active on this thread. Really learned a lot from this thread and should contribute anyway I can.

Make I reintroduce myself. My name is Taiwo a 200l MBBS student of EBSU entering 300l by Nov/Dec.

I notice EBSU is coming up a lot in questions here.

Ask me any questions regarding EBSU and I will be glad to answer.

You are moving to 300l by Nov/Dec cry
ASUU strike has caused a lot for those of us in Federal Universities undecided

Oga dem go still delay us later oo cry

Main delay is coming before we write our 300l exam and in clinicals

Ebsu is 8 sha but with the way things are going, we might be spending 7.

But all in all, I am happy we are not at home, as it would have just added to the already long years that someone will spend in the school

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by SF123(m): 4:57pm On Sep 18, 2022
Greetings the amiable citizens of this great forum: my question goes like this.

1)Why is medicine and surgery termed as the hardest course to study in the university.
2)At what point does studying medicine and surgery becomes complex and complicated
3)Apart from 100level where physics, chemistry and biology correlated with other advanced and G.S courses are done, is it still applicable in medical school till convocation/induction/graduation
4)How broad is studying medicine and surgery
5)Is mathematics/calculation mostly involved in medical school or studying medicine and surgery i.e what should it be like
6)Why is it that every science student wants or have keen interest in studying medicine and surgery?...and what makes it unique; even from other courses available......( a lots of question is still on the way) ALL OPINIONS IS APPRECIATED

Okay...so this is my opinion

1. Toughness of a course is relative. Some people might find engineering harder than medicine and vice versa.
I think it depends on people's abilities generally. Some people have the brains for numbers and calculations, while others can memorise facts without forgetting them.
Medicine is not easy sha, the number of facts you'd have to learn and cram is something else.

2. It became complicated for me right from 200l.
One month, I was breezing through heat and temperature in physics like a boss, the next month I had to memorise innervation of about 40 muscles that supply the upper limb.
100l in Medicine is literally like a cruise year because you're familiar with most things that you're being taught, compared to 200l.

3. I don't quite understand your question here, but I'm taking it to mean that there are some similarities between medical courses and what you learnt in physics, chemistry and biology.
Well...to a small extent they are similar. Everyone who wrote jamb probably read about excretory system in biology, and you'd still see a bit of it in renal physiology. But in jamb syllabus, they wouldn't teach you how ADH helps to make urine concentrated or the fact that pudendal nerve gives somatic innervation to the urethral sphincter.
I heard its way more abstract in clinicals, but I haven't gotten there yet.

4. Very broad.
The human body is a very complex system as you can imagine. Even the simplest activities you do like eating has a pathway that MUST be studied.

5. Not really. Unless you count basic multiplication as part of it. Medicine is more about how much stuff you can memorise.

6. Even I don't know why there's so much hype around it. I think if I could go back in time with all the knowledge I have now, I might have chosen to study computer science and just be a tech sis.
Well, it's human lives we're talking about here. Medicine is primarily about saving human lives tho, and the hype is definitely worth it.
It's not easy trying to save something(life) which is so delicate and complex, something that a person only get once.

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by SF123(m): 12:32pm On Sep 19, 2022
@ALEXAONFLEEK
This is extremely impactful and insighful. to serve as a watchword to all the medical aspirants out there @1...viewing from your perspective; elaborating emphatically about how complex a course is, even those in the system(medical students) lament and complain a whole lots pertaining to the versatility of what it entails while others view it as something easy and straightforward. So my curiosity about this is why do some medical student laments about its complexity and why do some dymistify it as a very simple course to study irrespective of what their collegues utters about it
@ 3...what i mean here specifically is physics and chemistry is all about if not all/mostly calculations; is it still applicable till 600level(use physics and chemistry as a refrence point to elucidate/contrast on medical courses not biology)
@6...itemize the hypes most people usually project outside the four walls of medical school and their motives for such comments
