Since you've accepted that you're still young to purse your dreams, nothing else to deter you from doing so..Life of fulfillment is worthwhile. I'll be graduating this year and still hopeful of admission into Medicine. Its about personal conviction.

medicine has always been my dream right from childhood. I was scared of jamb cut-off points for the course at the last minute(I was really young) so I changed my mind and put human anatomy. with the plan to do medicine after. fast forward to the after. I graduated with a 2.1 and applied for DE and I wasn't given because I was told it's not about Grade anymore but who you know so I applied for M.Sc. now I'd soon be done and I don't know what to do. I know doctors struggle too, but it's lesser than other fields. also I'm looking at the duration...but I really want to get it.
if anyone knows the vice Chancellor or registrar of the university of Calabar, please hook me up mbok.
At this stage of your life, you're mature enough to make decisions on your own..Even if you're almost through with your masters program, It shouldn't stop you from getting what your heart desires.
I know of a female lecturer in UI who had Bsc and MSC in Physiology before studying Dentistry..
It would have been more preferable if you were a man but nonetheless it shouldn't deter you from achieving your goal.
Also, Medicine is not an eleven -year course as depicted by the first commenter, Its between 6-8 depending on the school ceteris paribus.
On the last note, you should be thinking of getting married by now if you're not married yet and if he consents, then you're good to go..
In the medical field, Ph.D is majorly mearnt for those in academics.
In the clinical setting, MBBS rules.
I hope this helps !

You don't have to voice your opinions by bringing up unverified details about Medicine.
Medicine is Six years not Eleven but in the actual sense it varies from 6-8 years for a well accredited Institution.

They don't just publish their departmental cut offs just like the way other universities do, there are always cut offs which are only known by those in the admission office.
No school admits without cut off. Its just that some don't make it public.

I could remember when One stupid pastor told my One of my Uncles that my maternal grandmother was a witch and he preposterously believed him.
When my mum heard, being the first child,she rallied all her siblings and shun everyone of them about it.
My mum asserted that on no account should anyone buy into gullibility or at worst insult their mother or look her with disdain, that their mother was never a witch and would never be.
I was so much proud of my mother's bravery that day and the last time I visited my grandmother I hugged her with passion.

The college of health sciences is agog with joyous celebration and an indescribable feeling of pride courtesy to the fact that the medical student folk have often been sidelined and marginalised in the central affairs of things.
Animashaun, who is inarguably an enviably intelligent, young, vibrant, well cultured, tactical, amiable, cerebral and a globally-oriented pragmatist was filled with much gratitude to God and man as he kept on bugging his way through the electric crowd that came to the University environ to congratulate him.

Thanks bro. The WAEC is mostly Credits I mean C grades.


Thanks for your contributions. I'm thinking of advising his parents to let him change to ondo state medical college. It has all these courses and they also offer predegree programme for medical sciences which medicine anf surgery is part of.
Medicine in UNIMED is even now competitive but wouldn't be as stiff as OAU's..
But then, you have to consider their fees and their accreditation status..I don't really think Medicine there is fully accredited by MDCNand there is a risk involved if they fail to acquire full accreditation prior to their first graduation ceremony..The number of years will be elongated.
Those two factors are monumentally important, think well about it before making final decisions.

What chance does he have in either school and what is expected of him to score in the post UTME. Prompt response would be appreciated cos I'm thinking of advising his mum to do change of course and institution for him and don't want to sound pessimistic.
His chances of getting medicine in OAU are low but brighter with Biochemistry in LASU that's if they accept second choice candidates.
A lot of factors play pertinent roles in deciding admissions viz: Merit, catchment, ELDS, connection ectera.
If he doesn't have the last one, a change of course or institution is necessary unless he might accept settling with any course.

When I started watching football the European cup which was the precursor of the champions league was played by ONLY the champions of each countries league
That in my opinion is a real champions league.
Currently some countries provide at least four teams,that is the first four team in a league and not only the champions.
As for your final premise, Diego.Maradona took an average Argentine world cup team single handedly to win the tournament in 1986, I wonder if you were born then?
Still fallacious, Check if Maradona scored any goals in that final against Germany....If Maradona did that singlehandedly, What did Burruchaga, Brown and Valdano do?
The fact remains that trophies are won collectively..Some players might play bigger roles but that doesn't mean they did it alone...Maybe Maradona also played as a Goal keeper that day and a Defender as well.

They can win as many Champions leagues (which technically are not played by the champions of each country) as they like but they can never truly be the greatest footballers ever except they win the world cup.
Your mumu is one number one, No champions league is played by the bottom teams..
