I've replied to both ur nairaland mail and ur yahoo mail.

The email i sent to you has a direct link to my profile on fb. It'll be easier for you than using my ID to searchm, where u will have different users with same ID.
Or you can still give me urs, and i will add u up. How's it?

Thewhizzkid1:
Yes. I will respond ASAP.

princeikem10@yahoo.com
Will be waiting to confirm ur request.

Thewhizzkid1:
Facebook. Will this be okay?

Sure it will. Let me send you my facebook email.
Hope your nairaland email is still accessible?

Thewhizzkid1:
My day was good sir. I would love to have a chat with you but I'm not on whatsapp.

Eyaa, do you have any alternative?

Thewhizzkid1:
OK thanks. Please can you break it down further. Which gross anatomy courses(first semester to be specific) did you take??

Brov, how was ur day? Can u chat me up on whatsapp via; 08036632884? I'm in 200l.

Congrats to you all that were admitted. Best of luck to the ones yet to be admitted!!!

Last's is very good. In our time it was black and white, but newer editions are coloured. Initially it will appear hard to read, but soon you will get used to it. You will still need to use it with Atlas though, Grant's or Netter's

In UNEC, use Last's. But regularly browse through the blue boxes of Keith Moore for clinical applications. They like them a lot in UNEC esp in McQs and short essays.

How is Prof Obikili and co? Does Katcy still teach in the dept?

All the best.

For beginners, i think CHARUSA....it contains both upper limb, lower limb and thorax. Keith Moore is for me, the best, but it takes time for a beginner to understand it.

Hello house, can someone who failed a course in 100 level be withdrawn from Medicine.

In my own school, if one fails a course, he/she repeats. If the person fails again, he/she will be withdrawn. If the person fails more than one course, that one is automatic withdrawal.

confirm that they were screened during the
2015/2016 EBSU Post UTME screening exercise and that they passed JAMB (UTME) and EBSU Post UTME/
PDS at the respective minimum pass marks. (ii) they
show evidence of payment of three thousand naira
(N3,000) only for screening
10. DIRECT ENTRY ADMISSIONS
The possession of basic O/L entry requirements in their respective areas of discipline shall continue to
be used as conditions for Direct Entry Admissions
for 2015/2016 session. This is without prejudice to
Direct Entry candidates in Law where single O/L
sitting criteria shall be waived for those with good
qualifying D/E result certificates. (a) EBSU diploma results with a minimum of Upper
credit shall continue to be accepted for D/E
admissions just like others from Polytechnics and
Monotechnics.
(b) No Diploma from other universities shall be
accepted for admissions/ registration in EBSU. 11. ADMISSION OF STAFF BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN/

grade.
13 . In addition to the above admission committee/
HODs/Faculty officers and all concerned with registration of candidates are advised to ensure
that candidates declaration of identity/nativity are
critically scrutinized to avoid possible
impersonation of Ebonyi indigenes. Any
impersonator discovered shall be reported to the
Registrar for automatic disqualification/withdrawal of admission and permanent blacklisting from
future admissions in the university.
14. CLOSURE OF 2015/2016 ADMISSIONS
The deadline for 2015/2016 admissions according
to JAMB is Friday, September 4 th 2015.
All concerned with admissions should endeavour to keep to approved schedules of admission
recommendations (merit and supplementary UTME/
DE admissions) so that the university will be able to
conclude admissions within the stipulated period to
avoid any possible sanction by JAMB. It is worthy of
note that JAMB intends to enforce this deadline to the letter this year.

I which contains the 13 LGA's with the
development centres under each, to avoid treating
Development centres as LGA's. Egwu, Sam N.

chukzUd:
later found it in dier website...its 180 or so

yes. I did as well. Congrats in advance..

kingcity:
i will send a msg on whatapp soon.. Somebody said the cut off for nursing is 190, how true is it

Ok, no p. i saw 220. Just try to navigate through ebsu website.

chukzUd:
what's HIR cutoff can't find d departmental cutoff in dier site

i am busy now. I will get back to u later. If i try to forget, plz u can remind me. Good night.

kingcity:
can I get ur digit? talking about the cut off, do I still have hope?

That is it my brother. Here's my digits: 08036632884

kingcity:
which level are u

200

Ebsu cutoff marks released: Department of medicine and surgery is 240. Nurs. Sc., Medlab is 220. Law is 240. Logon to ebsu website to get more of them. Happy matric in advance.

kingcity:
are u a medical student ?

Yes.

kingcity:
not giving up o. still praying for medicine,anything is possible

better

chukzUd:
@king datz one tin I hate about diz paper based test crap..sometimes d computer doesn't pick what is shaded and that affects d scores a lot...had almost same experience last year...during jamb got 191 when I knew fully well dat I did beta even calculated n rewrote d exam at home go about 23(sumtin)only t c 43 for English n 53 for crs dat I knew I cudnt have failed more Dan 5 or so....tho Chill sha Na all of us dey enta tho diff campuses buh dsame skul jus chill

@king, this is just a perfect answer. I was also a victim of this. Those that did predgree at ebsu scored very high in the predegree exams. Why? Cos their exam was cbt. Rumors also has it that after this yr, ebsu will move to cbt. Lets still praying. Too early to give up on ur admission dis yr.

kingcity:
medicine. they gave me 33 in biology,did revision and I got 8ques out of 15,how come dey gave 33?

Sometimes p.qs could be deceitful. Some of their answers are wrong. I never relied on some p.qs when i was preparing for mine. I only used ONE TIME SUCCESS IN JAMB. That one has problms too but it is very scanty. For example, one time success told me that HCl has the highest entropy value instead of HF...which was wrong. And that year, d qustion came out and most peole failed it..and so on.
What about your jamb score?

kingcity:
sad mode, score 200, don't understand y I never do well in exams.its being happening since my waec days

which course

kingcity:
sorry u didnt get what I was saying. I mean the two medical students have seen so far, one score 273 and another 280. thee one who had 280 score 269 in jamb. am afraid cos my jamb score is low,219.I need to get 270 and above in post ume to raise my chances. am an indigene though

Ok. But have you checked yours? If no, then u need to. Dont be afraid, your score is relatively okay. May friend scored 226 in jamb and scored 274 in her putme. Just check. Goodluck...

chukzUd:
ahh Have finally been able to access the Putme result...got 254 in d putme and 248 for jamb..going for HIR buh thinking about changing to Masscom..is dat possible

Changing to masscom is possible but it will take you a tough time. First, you will go to the department you are admitted to, to get a REJECTION LETTER from them. Secondly, you move to the new department(the h.o.d) you would want to move to and get your ACCEPTANCE LETTER(i.e. if there is any vacancy in dat department). Thirdly, you write a letter to the registrar of the institution laying down your plights why you would wish to join the new department. NB: the letter should be directed to the admission office for endorsement before sending it to the registrar. Finally, wait for your ALTERNATIVE PLACEMENT FORM from the admission office(dat sometimes takes a month or weeks before reaching you, depending on your approach to them). When you get the alternative placement, you then move for your clearance and admission in your new department. Goodluck.

kingcity:
hmm. saw two medical aspirant score 273 and 280..will be able to score close to that? fingers crossed but am #hopefull

That is a nice score. The person's hope came from his jamb score. Every year in ebsu, medicine aspirants break record. Congratulations in advance. Dont fail to invite me for ur matric. Welcome to ebsu med sch.

chukzUd:
have got everything both the scratch card n jamb reg no. but it keeps saying This Pin is Not for Payment .or sometin like dat...I jus tire o wat shud I do

try again today. My cousin also encountered d same inconvenience. Hope itLs through by now. Good luck.

Doclight:
He's a D.E UI aspirant

Ok. That's nice.

Dunsin89:

You even know the formula well. Hardwork coupled with the grace of God, you can even make first class.
Never heed to advices that do not satisfy your passion. God is involved after all.

kingcity:

Goodluck dear.

Goodluck.
