Doctors In The House, How Did You Gain Admission To Study Medicine And Surgery? by HumanCalc: 10:35pm On May 30, 2019
Truth be told, Medicine and surgery as a course is as much feared as it's desired by many Nigeria students looking to secure admission into the University owing to the large number of students applying to the course yearly, among which only a very small fraction would end up being selected to study course.

So, the question here for the lucky ones that was/have been given admission to study this prestigious course, how good was your WAEC and UTME result back then? And what did you do differently to have gotten such a course to study?

Kindly give your answers as it will benefit many out there looking to be like you guys.

Forgive grammatical errors...thanks

First of all, there are no lucky ones if u don't do the needed work and u hope in luck then Oyo lo was.
Things I did differently
1. Forgave my self for believing in luck to gain MBBS admission. The price must be paid in full and even extra. Some even pay the price in advance (u know those u-16 guys that always blast jamb)
2. Read wide for bio, chem and phy.(u cant neglect any valuble shit cos it can cost u a mark. U know what 1 mark mean for MBBS admission? Read hard , Read smart. Never get angry when u fail questions cos that how u learn. The key is to keep improving. If I am to study for jamb btw now and next yr, I am sure I will learn thousands of knew things including correcting previous misconceptions.
3. Know ur capability - choose a credible school where u have the highest chances of gaining admissions for MBBS. From my experience state schools favor their indigenes, and every other geopolitical zones favor its people but ui is for all it only favor eld.
4. Study and always be on or above par with fellow aspirant in real time and online tutorials including study groups.
5. Start the blasting from o level (important subjects) waec try to get as much a as possible with at most 1 B.
This I knew very late, meaning I had to do GCE again just for the A's.
6. Get the right pqs, and textbooks.
7. Learn from ur own personal mistakes u are ur best teacher.
8. Never give up
.

.
.
The list goes on and on. For me no 1 and 8 where what changed my life.

To be frank u have very very little or no chance with 4Bs and 1A with med and surg in Nigeria universities

It's best u choose UI that don't consider O'level points for admission.

Then study past questions a lot. This can't be over emphasized.
Overall, study smart. Ask others ahead of u their experience so as to save u the cost of going through the same experience

Are you trying to say his O/L is not good enough?

So he needs to get parallel A's before he'll be good to go, How pathetic!

Stupid Nigerians.
Where courses like physics and mathematics(intellectually stimulating) are shunned for the less glamorous(engineering, medicine, and law).

You can't just assume he is lying. I mean, whether he is lying or not, it doesn't really affect anyone and since you don't have any proof that he is lying, it would be inappropriate to just jump to conclusion.
