Much thanks to you.
Going by the last admission, what is the cut off mark for Medicine (for those not from south south and ELDS) and is it based on post utme exam only? In short may i ask for the breakdown?

Also, can i have idea of tuition fee for newly admitted?
296 was the cut off mark. It's an aggregate of both UTME &POST UTME. School fees is #42,700
Acceptance fee #25,000
The post UTME is 40 questions to be answered in 40 minutes.

Really

thanks bro.
I haven't gotten anyone to enlighten me on Unical admission process and how transparent it is.

Are you schooling there?
If yes, what are you studying?

How is it done there and how transparent is their admission process especially into Med&Surg
It's transparent to some extent just like any federal Versity in Nigeria. I got medicine there this 2018/2019 session.
If you're not from south south or ELDS states, make sure to reach the cut off mark.
Once you reach the cut off mark, you will be admitted. Their tuition fee is cheap as well but cost of living is relatively high in Calabar.

I intend to do DE too but the choice of institution has been a challenge for me as I cannot afford to miss any attempt I make.

What is their requirement for DE (any limit for cgpa) and is there post DE exams?


I also wish to attack my application with Jamb exam and choice of school is giving me challenge. Kindly help with their requirement for Jamb admission (score to have to be in safe side, post utme and any other tips)


Other medics in the house can help too.
Thanks

Why not try Unical for your UTME. The cut off mark is lower than most federal Universities in the Southern Nigeria.

Thank you OP for such a wonderful platform. I just gained admission to study Medicine and Surgery in UNIJOS. I am currently a 200 level student of Biochemistry in one of the state universities.
I had been contemplating whether to switch over to MBBS or obtain the Biochemistry degree first. What is your take on this?

Secondly, please I'd like to know how expensive studying MBBS really is, in terms of the textbooks and all. Thanks
Move to MBBS. What the hell do you need the Biochemistry cert for again?
In terms of finance, I don't know much. Let's wait for senior colleagues to come.

As a Catholic, I refuse to believe that the pope is 'infallible' as the Catholic mosque teaches. I reject vatican as the holy city!

I reject the fallacious teachings of the catholic mosque, christianity, Islam and religion as a whole. Religion is supposed to elevate one's spirituality not defrauding people, enslaving people's mind!

I believe in the Bible and true worship of God.
Don't transfer your aggression to the Church. Welcome to 2019.

Sometimes I wonder if Nigeria will ever be great.
How can we call ourselves human beings when we run away from what we are trained to do?
What did the doctor study in school, how to fry plantain?
He needs to be stripped of his doctor degree,he doesnt deserve it.
And if they dont pay salary he will be crying for strike.
With due respect ma. Doctors are humans too. Blame the Government and the citizens for neglence of fallen heroes. Ask about Drs Adedevo, Amed , etc. No one now gives even a flying Bleep about their families.
And you expect us to die anyhow now.

Firstly, i don't want to believe that you chose MBBS and you were "given" Civil Engineering.
they are two fields apart with different utme requirements.
3 years into your B.Eng program, i won't suggest you drop out of it. As much as possible, ensure you complete the degree. when you're done, if you still have the drive, continue to apply to the medical sciences.

Hello doc..
pls I want you guys to give me assurance about admission. I chose ATBU bauchi to study medicine, the first list was out and funny enough they're even updating the list and my name is not there yet, I scored 292 in jamb and 5Bs and 4Cs. Even those that scored less were given admission or is it because I'm from north central ?
My parent are making things worse coz they are saying that I should write another jamb (at this old age of mine)...
should I still keep my hopes alive or write another jamb ?
I was thinking of choosing unilorin now for MBBS, pls what are my chances of getting admission there, what do I need to do ?
#confused
Bro, come to Unical.

Best of luck dear

Little tips though I believe it is a university thing as medical schools varies in aspect of lecturers approach.

I was just like you surfing the net as if my life depended on it because I wanted to know how to ace this "over hyped MB" (note it's in quote ooo, don't mind my choice of word, if you fail it God forbid, the rest is history in medical school)
I browsed how to read as a medic cos someone like me I no fit sit down for 3 hours read, don't ask me how I have been passing. (But get this, I don't sort and I don't ask or tell in exams). Well it doesn't go well with me as I was caught the first day I tried it, well a story for another day.
I needed to pass so badly that I download YouTube videos on what to do and what not to do.

Ask me if it helped, I will say the tips didn't but the medical context did.

What I am driving at with all these boring jargon above.

Passing mb lies on how you use your senior colleagues, junior colleague, they will be helpful in reminding you of previous yrs that is if you are a lazy medic like me, your mates cos of group discussion, though I didn't have one cos It doesn't work for me.
The senior colleagues really helped me. I owe them a lot.

Aim high don't be a pass student like me oooo Get distinctions nah so that this our very own drey's anatomy go form familiarity with you nah u grab

- Don't joke with your Continous assessment, they can be a saving grace. Was one of mine cos I fell sick during the exam.

-For physiology, you must understand it. It requires writing upon writing, abeg no go write off point join.

-Know your lecturers and their approach to questions this is the killer beat cos if you know everything but you know write am the way they want they will fail you

-Use past questions, this is the jaw-breaker cos with these you will have like 5% don't feel that mark is small bcoz in mb even 0.5 mark is important.

-Ask questions, interact, read as if your life depend on it and pray as if your life depended on it. That prayer aspect should never be omitted.

Don't thank me now, thank me later with an IPhone 7grin

See me forming oga boss for ditching out mb advice as if say I crest my own mb.
Don't mind the joking part oooo mb is a very serious business you have to face.

Nice one Doc.
