bro what u should know is that any school that going to any school that doesn't have accreditation is a big issues. It took a whole UNIABUJA which is a federal school about 10 years before they could graduate their first set . I mean no harm bro I am not trying to badmouth any school by the way has FUTA made plans to get a teaching hospital self .

No offence taken bro.
Yes, FUTA has started making plans to build a teaching hospital. I can't share information on it for now. When it is the appropriate time, it will be made known to the public by the school.

MrEgghead:
You think it's that easy. Every medical school in Nigeria usually passes through the phase of accredition hitches, it's almost an unwritten rule. Even the first set at UI finished their MBBS degrees in London. UNIBEN and IFE finished theirs somewhere else and that privilege is no longer available. The aspirants should just be aware of all these in order to make wise decisions. If they think they can bear the risk of facing accreditation problems and probably spending up to 9-10 yrs, then that's good them. It's the just info and expectations that are important.

I know what it takes to get full accreditation from MDCN. I have a document on it and I can say it is not easy task. Though medical schools have faced accreditation issues in one way or the other, but the number of years they use differ. Some medical schools do not use up to 9 years before getting accreditation from MDCN. It depends on how serious the school management take the accreditation process. Though schools like Uniabuja used about 12 years before getting full accreditation, EKSU used about 10 years (their first set of medical students graduated in 2019, since 2009) but schools like Unimed used about 1 or 2 years to get accreditation from MDCN though it is still partial accreditation because they haven't graduated their first set of medical students. So it depends on the school management seriousness. Aspirants that can't bear the risk of facing accreditation issues should pick medical schools that already have full accreditation. That's the best advice to give them.

LordPauling:
pls don't go to FUTA ur score is high enough for UI the only thing is that u should be patient cause that futa is a new school and hasn't gotten mdcn accreditation pls don't waste ur score dia cause even if u gain admission u will suffer two things (ASUU strike and accreditation problems ) honestly that accreditation issue alone can drive u crazy

What makes you think he will suffer the two things you aforementioned if he chooses FUTA. FUTA is not the only University that ASUU strike affected. It affects UI also, so what point are you driving at? You can't jump into conclusion easily that FUTA will have accreditation problem. It is not even up to three years they started Medicine. Stop making FUTA look bad if you are trying to persuade him to choose UI. You are trying to bad-mouth a school just because you want to showcase another school.

Vitamin17:


Sure boss advise me abeg

What are your grades in Eng, Math, Phy, Chem and Bio in your O'level result?

Vegan99:
If you are uneasy about the University of ibadan, then apply to Futa(fedeal university of technology akure) they just began their mbbs programme. Ask Eben331 for more info about futa's admission process. Then while you wait, Please learn a very convenient handwork. Something you can still do while you are in school, and make money from it.

You will reap the benefits of your handwork when you are finally admitted.

You must be someone who knows me.
Though I try to make myself anonymous when it comes to my school.
Reason because we just started medicine and most people might not want to pick FUTA because of accreditation but the school is really planning a lot lately.
Well, until they make those planning official, I won't recommend FUTA for anyone.

Vitamin17:
I need advice now like maddd. ASUU strike is driving me crazyy. UI is my first choice but ASUU strike is delaying things here should I wait or put in any available school here? Jamb score is 351. Or make I just learn work de wait

Will you care to listen to my advice?
What are your grades in the five core subjects in your O'level?

This 351 must not be a waste

immanuelsize:

pls, do EBSU make use of o'level while calculating one's aggregate for admission?
or do they use only jamb and screening score.

Jamb score only
No Post UTME.
Candidates with 280+ in UTME (especially if you have 300+ in UTME) are at more advantage in getting admission into Medicine.

Toluvincent:
Good day everyone, I'm a Pharmacy student in a Nigerian University, although I wanted to change to medicine but i was afraid I wouldn't beat the cut-off mark but I later did, I felt sad after this and wrote another jamb this year for medicine , but my school is on strike now, we've not even started lectures , if I gain admission I will be resuming 2024, I'm not sure if this is a good decision.
PS:I haven't told my dad about this , I'm planning to tell him after gaining admission because I know he may not allow me.

I assume the University you are talking about is UI.

Go for what you want. If it is Medicine you want go for it. Don't make decisions you might later regret later.
When it comes to career choice, parents' decision does not have much weight. It is your life.

HumanCalc:
Oga dem go still delay us later oo

Main delay is coming before we write our 300l exam and in clinicals

Ebsu is 8 sha but with the way things are going, we might be spending 7.

But all in all, I am happy we are not at home, as it would have just added to the already long years that someone will spend in the school

What delay are you talking about?

You will finish before some of us in Federal Universities.
It is a long year ahead

HumanCalc:
I should be more active on this thread. Really learned a lot from this thread and should contribute anyway I can.

Make I reintroduce myself. My name is Taiwo a 200l MBBS student of EBSU entering 300l by Nov/Dec.

I notice EBSU is coming up a lot in questions here.

Ask me any questions regarding EBSU and I will be glad to answer.

You are moving to 300l by Nov/Dec
ASUU strike has caused a lot for those of us in Federal Universities

Good morning everyone, please which south eastern state school would my poor 263 get medicine, Screening form is out so please I'd like to know
I'm from Enugu state

I think you have asked this question before about picking EBSU or ESUT and people have given you their honest advice. You even said you have "long legs" in EBSU.

What clarification do you still need??

BTW, EBSU Post UTME form is closing very soon.

SF123:
Brother for someone to apply, what is expected of such individual and the criterias too.

This might help you in making a good choice
Though ASUU strike does not affect Unimed

SF123:
Brother for someone to apply, what is expected of such individual and the criterias too.

Since it is a State University, you don't expect the school fees to be cheap. So if you are planning to apply, you must be financially buoyant.
The criteria to apply is attached below

Waramiedema63:
Please who knows state university that accept second class lower in biochemistry for medicine please

University of Medical Sciences, Ondo, Ondo State (UNIMED)
Their form is currently out.

DrHesjay:
Wow. Someone's comment today reminded me of all the long days here and the memories made from it. Life is indeed, in stages. Throwback to those days where this was the only available platform for we the younger ones to get motivated and inspired by the works of our big chiefs. Those days, we thought getting medicine admission was the end of our problems, but now, we know say problem no dey finish.

DrHesjay
I remembered during your days, Dr lomalxx, Dr Lagusta, DrGboy, Ambfitsaint et al on this thread.

You should be probably doing residency by now
By the way, which problem are you talking about in the emboldened words?

SF123:
Greetings the erudite scholars in the house. I need a practical sure success tips on how to conquer and prepare for the post utme?

*for the lads that has written theirs irrespective of the year, did you combine textbooks?....how did you covered the materials. PLS SOMEONE SHOULD HELP ME ON THIS.

SF123:
Greetings medic and fellow medic aspirant. I received a message on wednesday to accept an admission offer into a college of nursing and health sciences obohia in Abia state to study nursing. Lo and behold i called the number displayed on the text to know how my details was gotten, a male voice answered and told me that the admission offer is genuine that i should log into the school portal to print my admission letter. At first i felt happy but within 2 minutes of the feelings i felt unhappy again because it was not medicine and surgery.
*My question remains should i decline this admission offer into college of nursing obohia in Abia state or to continue to prepare my next year jamb of which i am gunning for medicine and surgery?

Even if i am interested to accept the offer. My love for medicine and surgery can never be overemphasized and it hold no bounds and limit as well. Is it possible to use the nursing certificate and qualifications of the school to apply direct entry into medicine and surgery ?

Well, most people here have given you some advice. So the ball is in your court whether or not to heed to their advice. But my advice is that you should not reject this course on a platter of gold. A bird at hand worths millions in the bush.

Wish you the best.

PharmD911:
Hi bosses, what advise would you give someone with 330 in jamb and 6.8/10 Olevel, UI or OAU?
#Confused

Either of the two is good.
UI use only UTME score and Post UTME score in calculating the aggregate. A candidate that has his/her O'level result littered with C's has equal chances with a candidate that has A's and B's in his/her O'level result when applying for UI. UTME takes 50% and Post UTME takes 50%. UI does not use catchment areas.

On the other hand, OAU use UTME, Post UTME and O'level result in calculating the aggregate. UTME takes 50%, Post UTME takes 40% and O'level takes 10%. OAU use catchment areas (you will be at advantage if you are from South West).

You have a good chance in either UI or OAU considering your Jamb score. You should know which one will favour you most in terms of easy admission to study Medicine, academic calendar, among other factors you might want to consider.

If you could score 330 in UTME, you should be able to replicate such performance in UI's Post UTME and OAU's Post UTME.

Vitamin17:


But they can't admit fresh students since 2018 till now? Cause they graduated some sets of medical students doesn't mean they have reached full accreditation status.

They just got full accreditation which is why they are able to graduate their first set of medical students after many years.

Since they have gotten full accreditation, they can admit fresh students this year.
