Twice: Federal school is really competitive. My first jamb I scored 280 yet the school denied me admission.I had to write another one which I scored 255 and it gave me admission in the department of Applied Geophysics.

I like the perspective you chose to view it from, but to be honest sir, I'd bet you not everyone admitted ahead of you did better. I lost out on admission with 273 and I still have data of numerous students with about 210 admitted to study medicine in UNN.

I know my score wasn't that great but that one thing showed me the reality of average Nigerian society.

yeah that's the problem we have generally in Nigeria. Any slot in the federal university has a particular number of candidate they require. They are slots for Senators representing that constituency, house of representative members, governors, Monarchs, vice chancellors, professors, senior lecturers etc. And all these slots have a different score. if a school is accredited to admit 50 students in medicine, just know that less than 10 slots are left to battle for genuinely. So you see why it's very competitive especially for all these professional courses. Those candidates that occupied the "godfathers" group are expected just to pass jamb alone to gain admission, let me say if you score above average you will be admitted but this is also dependent on the level of your godfather. A candidate prescribed by a governor will surely get admission with a score of 180.
People like you and me are expected to do extremely well to gain admission because we are only fighting for miniature available slots.
