Hi Forumites,

I am a little bothered that despite how easy it is to gain admission into higher institution of learning these days. Many candidates that apply for these institutions do not get admitted even into their local Universities.
Why is it so?

Any way I am a graduate, but frankly speaking it was not easier getting admission in the 90s as it is now.
How did I get admission? You may ask me.
My getting admission then was a function of knowing exactly the right person and using my ability to get  what I wanted.
Simply put, I used what I had to secure admission.

Tell us how you got your own admission in your own time.

Cheers

By Hook and crook,

Ha ha ha! By Hook and crook? Real thanks to Jah,But let us know how you did it.

i entered the way it should be entered, writ and pass the exams in flyin colours and the cache was God

I knew some1,who knew som1,that knows som1,

use what you have to get what you want. i heard it works like a charm, though i haven't tried it.

simple: apply, fill in stats, write an outstanding personal statement, leave the rest to God.

We've nt even reached those dates yet.

U see d future or somthng?

I read like craze because I was afraid of failure and being left behind by my contemporaries.

I desended on all the past Jamb questions I could lay my hands on and chewed them all to pieces. A lot of peeps who knew me felt I would pass easily but I wasnt so sure. Infact I thought I was going to fail (it would have been a first though ).

The result came out and it was a blast (one of the best in Nigeria for that year). I like to talk about it b/c it is to me one of life's more elusive moments of glory.

, urs is almost an exact reflection of mine, though i wasn't that much of a reader, i was in the top five in my class back in sec sch, I was scared stiff checkin my O'level result , i jst had this fear , wat if everybdy did well and i failed.i waz praying for even "credits" , but behold second best O'level in ma sch,
same happened with my UME, back den we didnt hv to take any post UME, i was the first of my group of frnds to chck mine, when i saw my score (mid two-hundreds) i was kinda dissapointed cos i thought my frnds wld do probably do beter, i even hid it frm them, they supposed i did terribly and felt sorry for me', after dey all checked, bam!!! , mine was highest, in ma sch for that year, needless to say i got into school on merit immediately after sec sch.

Needless to say, English almost threw in a spanner with a C6 (I did not see anything there was to read in this particular subject ) and I had not enroled for GCE which was the only safety net at the time b/c dad said there was no money or it will be a waste.

its alot more complicated these days with post-this, post-that schools keep xploitin candidates and depriving many,

Saw this thread started for over a decade and I believe it is a motivator to
those that want to get into the higher school of learning.

Kindly share your experience, it may just be what a candidate out there is looking for.

Thank u.
