laryom1: Thanks bro...team BBF

yungchop: I go still break ya head @killercute16 ; thanks bro!!

happykidArotiba: naira land breeding cunts like this one since 2005! if u want admission, I will help u dude.

happykidArotiba: had 182 in jamb, 52% post jamb, was given medicine.

TONYE001:

Thanks, brother, for encouraging me.

I wish you the very best Sir. It's possible, it's achievable. Go for it, put in your very best. As I always urge students, study because you SHOULD study and not because of an event (interview, exam, etc). If we make reading a habit, success would be an everyday tale!

I had the same plan too. In my time, a CGPA of 4.0/5.0 was the requirement to switch to MBBS/Dentistry at the end of thr 100 Level, I didn't make it. I shifted to Plan B which was making a 2-1 and then transfering to MBBS/Dentistry (to begin from Year 3 if it's the same school). When we got to Year 2, Uniport had an issue with their MBBS program (overpopulation). This almost cost them their accreditation. Consequently, they shut down all transfer options to MBBS (I think they didn't accept JAMB MBBS applicants too).

I graduated with a 2-1; as God would have it, I was the 6th in a class of 140-150. Presently, I'm rounding up my Youth Service (would be done by October)...and I still have some MBBS possibilities on my table.

Again, success to you and every other person in your shoes. We shall hear your testimonies.

TONYE001:

You have said it all. It's the bitter truth.

Yea, I still want Medicine. Right now, I'm giving Medicine a hot chase and when I'm done, I shall put together my experience and publish it here on Nairaland.

TONYE001:

Physiology is a basic medical science that considers the functionality of the human complex. It has various subdivisions - renal, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, reproductory, etc.

The truth: In the African society, there are limited job opportunities for Physiologists BUT if you know your "onions", you can find your way through.

Many Physiology students wanted Medicine - I wanted (and I still want) Medicine. The only way to find your way back to MBBS is to ensure that you bag a GOOD degree, a minimum of Second Class Upper would do.

If you want, you may proceed to the M. Sc level and pick up a lecturing job. My advice is that, if Medicine is what you want, chase after it with all your might while you still can.

Source: I'm a Physiology graduate from Uniport's Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences...

DrHesjay: ah.. na u b my boss na.
.
what m saying is.
anatomy is divided into 3....histology,embryology and gross anatomy..
anatomy is not just one course... its a wide field with branches...as I said... gross anatomy is a regional stuff... while others r systemic..
there's also neuroanatomy. In unilorin.. its d last posting...(neuro posting) ...then they teach everything on d nervous system.

lomaxx:

Adopt the dual approach to getting admitted.

Go for A levels. Cambridge preferably if you have the wherewithal. IJMB can suffice as well.

Then sneak in some study time for UTME. Studying for UTME on its own is enough. Having an A level background makes you a boss.

If Medicine is what you want, don't do Physiology for a long term goal. You can do Physiology now and Medicine later - which means you'll need to do the clearance. It's just gonna take longer. But if can afford the risk, try the first option.

It's very painful to work hard and not see results. It's very painful. I'm talking from experience. Some years ago, I scored 273 in UME and 328 in Post-UME and University of Uyo refused to give me admission on merit. It was the highest UME and Post-UTME score that year for MBBS(as I learnt later on). I'm an indigene of the state as well. I had mbbs admission elsewhere(you can imagine) but I wanted to school at home. I had to beg them to give me admission which they later heeded to.

However, this is life and bad things happen. Bad things do not happen to break us but to make us and help us discover abilities we never thought were possible. Life would always go on and failure isn't final. It maybe one year gone, but it's for a reason.

Good luck.

DrHesjay: lol.... scores..
my broda had 250...86...5As n 4Bs has no even bn admitted at all...
Lomaxx said it all dha...

deedrizzie:

And u stl ddnt get in for MBBS What did dey offer you?

Abasstoheeb: @Bathedoski,wats yor jamb and PUME scr

Abasstoheeb: Pls wats d meaning of BMS

DrHesjay:
Yeah..nice question.
After your premedical year i.e. 100level, some of you guys in medicine would be dropped ..... Everybody most definitely cannot make it to 200level medicine. As at last last year, the criteria was a cgpa of 3.0 and having not more than 2Ds in the 17 courses...
There is also a transfer for 20 best BMS students. So when you are about to start 200level, the best 10 students in anatomy and the 10 best students in physiology will be transferred to medicine.
.
The top 20 losers in medicine would then be transferred to BMS to fill up the spaces left by the 20 BMS students that got medicine.
For example, if 30 students drop in medicine, the best 20 among them will be given Anatomy n physiology.. The other 10 would have to go to other science departments that are ready to take them in...maybe zoology or plant biology....

.
To cross, you have to be really serious, the standard is really increasing. There are rumours that people with 2Ds might not even cross this year unlike how it has always been. We also heard the crossing criteria for BMS is now 2.5 instead of the 2.0 they were using.
.
The criteria to cross to 200level nursing is a cgpa of 2.5 and having No F... If you are in nursing and you have 4.7, but a F in Phy191(1 unit course), you are going nowhere...
.
I will advice that all of you in medicine strive hard for 4points i.e. at least a B in all your courses....
Unilorin medical school can be crazy.. They drop people even in 500level... so dropping someone in 100level is like child play to them..

DrHesjay: Some of you guys who are my friends on BBM hav been asking about the courses that you will offer in 100level. I have decided to post it here so others can gain from whatever I will say on it. For those of you in Medicine,Anatomy or physiology, and even in most science courses, you will take 17courses in 100level, 9 in first semester and 8 in second semester. Below is a list of the courses(codes and titles) and their credit units in bracket.
Phy115(2)---Mechanics and Properties of Matter 1
Phy125(3)---Heat,sound and optics.
Chm101(3)---
Zly101(2)---Introuctory Ecology
Zly103(3)---Animal diversity
Plb101(3)---Cell Biology
Gns101(3)---Use of English.

Chm101 can be a very dangerous course; don’t joke with it. Go for classes, even when asked to come by 6:00am, just go. Your Chm101 note is also very important. You can use lamlad Chemistry textbook(utme), Fundamental University Chemistry by Abass Vol.1, and probably Schaum’s outlines for chemistry. With those textbooks and your maximum attention in class, you aresure of an A. You might decide to get past questions too, but to be frank, they were of no help to me for Chm101.

Phy115 is a very simple course, if you have a good foundation. You may pass without attending lectures sef. Phy125 is the actual wahala. It’s the toughest course I did in first semester. The lecturers are so wicked. They can bombard your life with assignments. The course is also very wide, so to pass well, start preparing immediately. For this course, you will need Nelkon/Parker Physics Text and Schaum’s outlines for college physics because the note won’t be of much help. The course is really hard oo, but an A is very possible. You also have to treat past questions for your physics. Treat enough questions. Try to get questions from any source(MSS o, fellowships oo, CMDA oo, anyhow). Just treat questions.

Zly 101 is an A course, not bulky at all. You can finish the note in a day if you are fast but when examscome, the questions are really scary. When I did mine, I was so sure of myself after I read it; but on getting to CBT, it was another thing. One indian lecturer like dat took us one of the topics and his questions were really tough, God knows where he got them from. All you need to pass Zly101 is the note.
Zly 103 is also an A course. Many people fail this course because they feel they have to understand it very well. Be not deceived brethren, Zly103 is all about your cramming abilities. Cram it well. The course deals with the study of the animal kingdom in a evolutionary approach i.e, the study of animals from the lowest phylum to the highest phylum. The school has a comprehensive text on the course. It goes for 400naira only. Read it well, cram it and woth God on your side, you’re a is sure.

Plb101 is the simplest 100level course apart from GNS sha.. You will see people having lots of 90s...
All you need on the course is the note. The lecturers are also very good. So attend the classes; it will really help. For those of you in the medial line, please take this course serious. It’s a good foundation for histology and biochem(some of the courses in your preclinics).

GNS is also an A course. All you need do is read the text. You will also take a 6-hour lecture on the use of library and you will be given a text also. Read both texts well.

The other 2 courses are practicals(You haveto be serious with them ooooo)..If care is not taken, they can guide your path out of medical school. So, you have to take them very serious. They canbe really disastrous. I know you’ll understand when you resume.

The 2nd semester courses are
Phy142(2)---Nuclear and atomic physics
Phy152(3)---Electricity and Magnetism.
Chm112(2)---Organic Chemistry
Chm132(2)---Inorganic Chemitsry
Zly106---Mammalian forms and functions.
GNS112---Use of English. ; and 2 practical courses
I won’t talk on them because I believe by then, you would have been used to the system things are run in school
