Pls Which federal schools will consider 253?

You can try State Universities

Ayomisure:
Good day everyone
Please what are your opinions about UI post utme? I scored 309 in this year's jamb which requires me to score really high in the post utme. Also I'm not thinking of changing institution because I had C parallel in my olevel which is a disadvantage in most institutions.

UI uses UTME and Post UTME which is 50% each

Aim for 80+ in the Post UTME. Try to also know last year's cut off to weigh your chances and the exact score to aim for in the Post UTME

LalastiklaIa:
It’s 2026 is MBBS not yet obsolete. Who Dey try kpai themselves to study that 🥱

MBBS can never be obsolete.

PinkNature:
Ure advising someone to study ana or phy. 🙄

FUTA offers MBBS

She can also pick Anatomy or Physiology to cross to MBBS after 100L to increase her chances of getting admitted.

Cuetosh:
Hello guys,
Kindly advise here.
My daughter has B2/B3 waec scores in the key science subjects and 280 in JAMB. She wants to go for MBBS. Which federal university in south/west can she get to with this credentials.
Kindly also advise what course she could change to (if MBBS is not possible this year) that will provide opportunity for switch to MBBS in 200L next year.

Thanks all.

FUTA

But she can change to courses like Physiology, Human Anatomy to increase her chances

AmbFitsaint:
Medicine is the safest career out there any where in the world. People are being made redundant in tech industries.
And as a doctor , just aim to practice medicine in Aussie, Canada and US. Your life would never remain the same . You would out earn techies or earn at their level.

It's been a long time on this thread. Just stumbled upon it again. Came as an aspirant, finished medical school , typing as a family medicine resident doc in the UK.

Kudos to everyone

Good to hear this. Congratulations Dr Vincent.

AbdSalis:
Okay, so how much is the school fees including acceptance fee and the rest?

Acceptance fee is #50000
Current 100L paid #159500 for school fees

AbdSalis:
Thank you so much 🙌. Why do they reduce 5 marks tho?

So let's say I score; 330 in UTME + my O'level
(330/400)×75=61.875 O'level= 17.4
A+B= 61.875+17.4=79.275

What about the fees for mbbs? Thanks again

For the 5 marks, I don't know about it.

MBBS students pay the same school fee as other students. Though there is also Pre-clinical training fee you will pay

AbdSalis:
Hi, I'm really sorry to ask such a cliché question but I'm an aspiring student of FUTA(mbbs obviously), last time I did UTME, I scored 297 and had 79 in post UTME but didnt get into UI so I chose FUTA this time, I just have a few questions
First, what is their likely cut off, I know they don't publish cut offs but I'd like any FUTA doctor to give an estimate.
Second, apparently they did screening not post UTME, what exactly does this mean, does it mean I just have to upload my O'level and sit back and wait for the list?
Also, my O'level score would be 17.4 based on how they've calculated it in recent years, it'd be nice if someone could just give me a UTME score that would, along with my, O'level, guarantee admission.

P.S- I wrote UTME yesterday

Hello,

Last year's merit cut off was 78.15 though cut off marks for catchment areas and ELDS are quite lower. Note that FUTA does not release cut off marks to the general public, but there is still a way we get the cut off marks.

FUTA uses screening (O'level result and UTME score) for her admission modalities. The last time Post UTME exam was conducted was in 2022.

FUTA place more emphasis on UTME than on O'level result as the UTME to O'level result ratio used last year was 75:25. So put in more efforts in getting a very high score in UTME. Having many A's will be an added advantage.

Hi I am a med student too in lasu and let's just say I'm not doing well at all especially mentally I found this thread and im typing on it to see if can find any kind of community for me to feel sane, now you're wondering what's this girl's problem I'm depressed to the extent being depressed is an understatement what makes it worse is that I'm just in 100lvl and am surrounded with many people but know deep down that I can't tell them how I really feel

I'm not doing well in school, I can't seem to understand anything maybe it's because I left secondary school 2years ago and was majorly tired of life in 2023(if Unilag kicked your ass say hi) and what makes me so sad is that I don't know if I'm going to transit because I'm not doing so well as I ought to and Im igbo so automatically I have to prove myself twice as hard everyone else I feel like I'm not cut off for this but I can't back down my parents have given their ALL to give me this opportunity

Another reason that makes it hard for me to speak about how I feel us because it's not so big as the problem of others and I feel ungrateful for complaining but I can't help but feel the way i feel so please if you have nothing nice to say maybe don't say it but I would love some words of encouragement and if youre going through the same thing you're not alone

And I don't even want to be doctor I can't stand the sight of blood and stuff like that but I don't have a choice and I wonder how I'm going to spend seven years of my life studying something I have no zeal for

I assume your case is that you were forced to study MBBS because your parents wanted you to. But it is not what you want and you don't know how to tell them your choice because you don't want to disappoint them. Since you are still in 100 level, it is not too late to let them know the course you have passion rather than wasting 6 years on a course you don't like. So let them know. If they are the understanding type, they will support your dream.

Good day medics.

If you are a medical aspirant, I am to share good news to you that FUTA now offer MLS and Public Health. They also offer MBBS. Nursing programme will commence this year's admission process. So you might consider applying to FUTA for these courses.

MightyNigerian:
You no know wetin God do for you. Here in UNN, it's overcrowded because of too many illegal admission. Heard na JAMB make the thing reduce small for competitive courses like medicine, nursing, dentistry & pharmacy.
There was a year (2019 UTME I think) when JAMB rejected names & move some people who bought admissions into those courses to other departments. If not, I don't think that sch is ready to stop the illegal act.
Sometimes I wonder what's motivating them to admit 500 for quota of 180 (medicine) or 120 for quota of 15 (dentistry) etc.
Na why you fit see person with 200 in JAMB doing Medicine there. If they tell me say 180 in JAMB dey study medicine for UNN, I no go doubt am because that sch is too corrupt. It literally act after its name Uni of NIGERIA.
Very fantastically corrupt sch like NIGERIA.
And person go still get mind dey compare that kind sch with OAU. If you no get body, you no fit put am for OAU.
Just get money , you go enter UNN to study any course

MDCN quota is 50 but the school does not admit up to 50.

Saviourk:
What school?
UNN na just survival for the fittest 🥲

FUTA

MightyNigerian:
Just seeing this & quoting it.
Abeg, UNN is the worst medical school among the 1st generation universities. Too much greed and artificial problems.
Biko, run from that sch. It's not worth it. They sell admission like mad. Overpopulation doesn't make them a better student. Instead it reduces their quality. Imagine 30 students on 1 cadaver.
If you have an alternative elsewhere, biko don't hesitate to take it. I'll rather study in Borno, UNI MAIDUGURI rather than go UNN.

30 students on 1 cadaver??
That's something oo

My school here, it is 10 people per cadaver. For histology practicals, 4 people per microscope and for physiology practicals, it is 5 people per group

Obton:
Is there any EKSUite in the house here? A friend of mine wants to apply for medicine at EKSU in this year's cycle.

But I recently learnt that their medicine class of 2018 is just resuming 400L. That's nearly 6 years of being in school and they're just starting 400L. I'm wondering why the calendar seems so slow or is that a one-off event due to their previous accreditation issues?

Is the medical programme there fast now? Since they've solved their accreditation issues. Would he be feasible to say the friend can graduate in 7-8 years if they get admitted to study medicine there?

Sincere advice from any EKSUite or anyone that knows EKSU well enough would be appreciated.

Yes their class of 2018 just resumed clinicals (400L) and we can say this is caused by their accreditation issue which they had. Their first set of medical doctors graduated in 2019.

Since the accreditation issues have been sorted out and MDCN has increased the quota of medical schools, I don't think there should be any issue with the calendar unless there are internal strikes in the school or ASUU strike.

Renalman:

Renalman:
Hi, everyone.
Owing to the current situation, school fees increments have become commonplace across tertiary institutions in the country. In light of this, I surmise that scholarship applications, among others, are somewhat nice plans to secure financial buoyancy for a rather smooth academic journey. How practical or feasible do you think resorting to this is? What other ideas have you on the whole of this? Looking foward to your replies. Thanks

Resorting to scholarships to alleviate financial challenges is practicable and feasible.

In fact, most scholarships are mostly won by medical students.
