[quote author=Pidgin2 post=52371406][/quote]I'm even making you feel important.. The thing is that you had nothing meaningful to contribute and you could have done yourself more good by boycotting the thread.

Pidgin2:
Everything will be solved if you all learn to mind your business

Why are this senseless.You think everyone thinks like you?

Darasimiolu:

It does count..... A minimum of 2.1 is required according to what was published

Are we not referring the same thing?

Darasimiolu:
I made a First Class in microbiology with CGPA of 4.73.i applied to study medicine at OAU via direct entry but I wasn't given admission. If admission is strictly on merit, then I am forced to ask what are the criteria?.

I don't think your class counts as regards DE..I think more attention is paid to o level results I stand to be corrected anyways.However,Everyone who meets the minimum requirements stand equal chance.

derrick015:
Guys pls help. I just graduated from uni. with microbiology. But I'm still nursing the dream to study medicine. being trying jamb since my hundred level days I got closest in my 200 but I didn't gain as den. I did again dis year my result WS very poor 245 and was way off the cutoff mark. Medicine is my dream and age is no longer on my side I don't know wat to do shd I move on from medicine or keep trying.

If medicine is what you truely want then I'll urge to keep trying because greater things most times don't come easily..Age should be the last determinant factor when making a choice of career;It doesn't make sense to me afterall some are very bright but do not have opportunity to attend a university of their dream..In most cases,It's not how far but how well.

It's not wrong...It's same way as saying the guy was beaten to the extent that he could not think properly or talk.

For instance,If I propose to her in public and she refuses,what will happen? :'

I have many memories but the most comic of them is that It's only on Christmas day I visit both friends and enemies and eat to stupor..It always make me feel nostalgic when I remember this.

math2001:

You must be very lousy for posting this rubbish..Na your type dey carry expo upadan..I know your type.An A student will never say..Even with your 5 credits,you're still spewing rubbish.

With OAU's modality, what would have been my aggregate considering these results:
Eng c4
maths c5
Bio c4
chem c4
physics b3
agric b3
geo b2
Econs a1

jamb score 238.
had nine subjects.

This is coming from a nairalander with d Monika Adesegunfat


My name is Adesegun Fatusi, and I am the Provost of the College of Health Sciences, OAU, Ile-Ife. The case of the Aror Oghenerukewve has just been brought to my notice. To throw more light on her case, I will present the detaild fact here.

With a score of 320, her mark from UTME amounts to 80% (i.e. 320/400 x 100)
Her school cert results are: English A1 (=8 marks); Biology C4 (=5 marks); Chemistry B3 (=6 marks); Maths B3 (=6 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Physics C4 (=5 marks); Further Maths B2 (=7marks), and Civic Educ A1 (=8 marks). That gives her 45 points, or 70.3% (i.e. 44/64x100)

So her overall average - as OAU did a combination of 50% mark from JAMB and 50% mark from School Cert - is: (80+70.3)=75.15% (which we rounded up to 75.2%).

With that mark, she ranks number 103 on the list of the students who took Medicine as first Choice.

The total admission quota for Medicine in OAU is 100, and that includes UTME and Direct Entry).

Clearly although Aror did well, her mark was NOT good enough to earn her admission on merit to read Medicine in Ife. Her mark of 75.2% is clearly below our cut-off mark (which was initially 78%, but we later reduced to 77.7%). Between her mark of 75.2% and 77.7%, by the way, there were 56 other candidates who scored higher than her but did not make the cut-off. For example, two people had 77.6%, two other people had 77.5%, four people had 77.4% etc.
Having presented the detailed facts about Aror's case, let me also help the many young Nigerians who may be accessing this site with more information on admission as I see a lot of misrepresentation, falsehood, and misunderstanding from the comments that various people had made on this case.

1. Admission into Nigerian Universities are considered on three grounds based on the nationally specified criteria (which I think ought to be reviewed now, by the way):
A. Merit =45% (This covers all candidates from the country - and it is automatic admission once you meet the cut-off mark)
B. Catchment = 35% (this refers to those in the states specified as catchment area for each University: For OAU, that is Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti)
C. Educationally disadvantaged states (ELDS)=20% = This refers to all the 19 Northern States, and Ebonyi, Rivers and Bayelsa.

So, someone from Delta such as Aror with 75.2% will not get admission into Medicine in OAU automatically as she is only considered on merit criterion and she does NOT meet the specified cut-off, but someone with the same mark from Kwara (which is in the North Central zone) may get automatic admission with the same mark based on the consideration of ELDS if 75.2% is the specified cut-off for ELDS for Medicine.

2. When a candidate chooses a highly competitive course like Medicine in a top-rated University like OAU, the competition is very intense. Believe it or not, many of the candidates that made our merit mark had an average of six A1s in school cert coupled with very high UTME mark (above 300). So, a candidate must carefully think over his choice of course and university. For example, if Aror had chosen ANY other course as her first choice for OAU, whe would have made the merit mark and gotten automatic admission, and she would have made the merit mark for Medicine on merit for most Nigerian universities too (but NOT OAU unfortunately).

3. Because of the high demand and competition for very limited spaces, the College of Health Sciences does not consider second choices as a general rule. OAU, for example, was only able to offer admission on UTME platform (Merit + Catchment + ELDS) to less than 3% of her applicants for Medicine, and less than 2% of her applicants for Nursing Science this year.

4. For cases like Aror where the candidadte has made a high mark but does not make the cut-off, what the candidate can sometimes do is to come to the University and try and see if he or she can be considered for other courses. A candidadte DOES NOT get considered automatically for a course she has not applied to in JAMB. A candidadte is ONLY automatically considered for the course he or she has applied for with respect to a particular university.

Unfortunately, Aror has left her case too late as all admission lists have been submitted for this year.

Lalasticlala, Mynd44, Seun, Fynestboi

Sir,the system erroneously computed 7 subjects instead of eight for the guy..In your magnanimity, pls do something about it..The boy was not observant enough.

This man doesn't know maths..Its obvious from the modality that the girl had 79% .

stred:
Good day uites. I want to know if ui accepts inter university transfer? I got admitted for dentistry and ironically, I fear blood so I'm thinking of re writing jamb and picking pharmacy in ui. I have three A's and 2 b3's in my olevel, thinking of aiming for 270, would that be okay for pharmacy?

Why didn't you make enquiries before picking Dentistry in the first place;wasting slots upadan.

jboycoded:

though am not yet officially a uite,lemme answer yr questions.
firstly,...yeah u will be admitted for MBBS if u beat the ELDS cut off and u are from an ELDS state.
secondly......yeah,there are some people this year,that didn't meet d cut off for MBBS and didn't do Coc but were given another course
thirdly....d waec result u listed above will amount to 33.3335% out of 100%,and according to ui's cut off for medicine this year(which is 76.75%),u will need additional 43.42%(that is based on non-increment of d cut off next year)which means u nid an approximate mark of 350 for jamb.
so back to d answer of d third question,I don't think u will be admitted for it.
ADVICE-go for another course.probably one under college of medicine with less cut off and less competition.
4th question-hv heard people speculating this year abt the impossibility of crossing to medicine from a course not under college of medicine.so I don't think u will be able to cross from BDS to mbbs.

Is it compulsory you attend UI? If it's not ,I'll advice you choose OAU if the rest of your olevels are good..my friend could have made MBBS if he had chosen OAU..UI's policy is for those who have distinctions in their five relevant subjects.Assuming,you had B3's in the other three subjects,you've accumulated 40% out of 100 which means you only need to score 280+ in jamb all things being equal.. For your second question,I don't think any school in Nigeria allows transfer from BDS to MBBS and vice versa..

Nelsonzeno:
I jst got admission to study maths @ ui bt I wnt 2 write jamb again nd apply 4 ui..iz DT possible ??

It's very much possible..Nothing will happen..that policy is just a formality.Its of no use in Nigeria.. Many of my friends wrote jamb again while they were in 200L and gained admission, yet,nothing happened..Most of these special advisers are not even students yet.

Was supposed to read "Picture of Car wreckage in the accident that paralyzed Yinka"

I hate Nigerians bad command of English .Very nauseating especially when the mods sees no flaw in it.This is why that country will never move forward

So,one must be perfect in English before he/she writes or posts something? The true essence of communication is 'understanding' and we all understood the message and how does bad English impede growth?

Sanchez01:

Obviously pained! What would you say of Messi in 2010 who was tutored by Wesley Sneidjer in the Champions League? What was Messi's contribution to the Argentinean team in the 2010 world Cup in South Africa? Inter Milan defeated Barcelona in the Champions League, all thanks to Sneidjer. Netherlands went that far in the World Cup all thanks to the very same Sneidjer. Argentina was humiliated by Germany, four goals to nil, a match which saw Diego Maradona, the then Argentina coach, cry like a baby. Spain ended up winning the World Cup but a Messi who neither won the Champions League nor the World Cup won the Ballon d'or. Such hypocrisy!

Well, if not for Blatter's bias between the duo which he childishly let out during an interview about one being a football player and the other a lover of salons, Messi would still have won this. We still recall how Sneidjer was robbed in 2010.

No doubt Ribery was also robbed in 2013.

James150:
Please medical doctors and medical students in the house help!!! I got admitted to a university to Study medicine. The name of the university is Bingham university (private uni) the quota they have for graduating doctors is just 50 yet they admit about 300 medical students 100level. We pay 1.1million naira as school fees not knowing what awaits us they give us a condition that before we get promoted to 200 level we have to keep a GPA of minimum of 4.5 and with out any carry over in any course and we are doing 15 courses. They are even complaining of them promoting about 150 medical students last year with a cut off of 4.0 GPA. Please is this how it is in other medical schools Is this the terms and conditions given or is this pure wickedness.... Hmmmm....I just don't understand

They are simply violating the rules and conditions of the MDCN..The approved quota of 50 is the maximum number of students the school ought to admit not the number expected to graduate..Nigerian medical schools are fond of this illicit act simply because of the money and nepotism..My candid advice:since you're already in the mess,make sure you've have the minimum requirement needed to move to the next level. Goodluck!

prof1999:
Good day docs i am 100 l bsc chemistry student in uniben and intending to cross over to either pharmacy or dentistry
What are the requiment brotherly advise will be appreciated

For now,you can only transfer to pharmacy but the implication is that you'll lose one year.And then,make sure you avoid carryovers prior to period of transfer and allot atleast 50k for it..schools of medicine and dentistry including law don't accept transfers in Uniben.

TONYE001:
After YEARS of chasing MBBS...

Started 2007 when I did the Basic program at Uniport...I was about seven points short of the cut off...

I proceeded to study Human Physiology...

I wanted to switch at Year 1...but I didn't make up to 4 points....

I moved to Plan C: Get a 2-1 and do DE...

I got a 2-1.....but DE didn't come my way..

I got admission at Georgia after NYSC..I was denied entry..

I got admission at TAU, Guyana...Ebola came on board...West Africans were denied visa.

I got married to my darling babe..

We enrolled for M. Sc programs...(me, Human Physiology, she, Public Health)...

I gave DE another try.....

and...

I'm in!

University of Abuja!

Sincerely, the last time I was this excited was when our son was born...

Indeed, God is the greatest!

Initially,I didn't want to put this piece across to you but I'll do that since my conscience wouldn't let me be at rest..I'm not really sure uniabuja medical schools is wholly accredited .I'll urge you to have a plan B in case things didn't work out in your favour and be fervent in prayers.Congrats on your admission.

If a culprit is not caught at the scene,I always find it difficult to believe..Nigeria police is infamous in arresting innocent people just to give good impression.

Mayflowa:


Lol but all doctors are physicians. I was thinking you were going to name another specialist department away from gynaecology

All doctors are not physicians..physicians are actually expatriates in internal medicine..Surgeons are distinct from physicians but all answer the appellate "Dr".
