Lol, 500k for medicine?. My friend then in IUO was paying as high as 3m for just tuition fee in 200l. If you can afford 500k, there are some state schools that do not go on strike like Delsu, Ebsu(I think), Ansu, RSU and some others I may not know. Just do your findings, you'll get a good one.

Let me advise you simply bro. Reject the admission and prepare very well for jamb, you'll likely regret if u accept the admission since it's medicine you really want. You'll find so much unfulfillment, there's enough time to prepare for jamb, if you do your home work well, I'm assuring you, you'll get medicine.

Brother admission wey i don accept since (i only did that just for the reason @ LEONADOSHAWN enumarated on his initial post which i latter coined as the bitter truth) I am likely gonna combine the semester courses as well as preparing for jamb next year.
I really appreciate you sir!

For those who would want to rent an off campus accommodation, in this video I talked about what you should look out for to avoid stories that touch the heart, and I also talked about the Pros and Cons of renting an off campus accommodation instead of staying in the school hostel.

@sf123 you have hope here boss merit for this varsity is 65 you have 249 or so.. All you need do is destroy post utme and you stand a chance. 249/8 around 30 or so then post utme score like 85/2 around 40 or thereabout. 30+40 equal 70. The main thing is post utme. I might be wrong sha sad
Fellow prospective medic, i appreciate you. Are you talking of River state university (RSU) OR University of Ibadan (UI) ?

#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.

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.

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Lordsagna: 8:53am On Jun 20, 2022
Before i start my story..I hope to inspire some of the medical students...Or students planning to study medicine and are having issues...

My Story So far.,

After graduating from secondary school.. I couldnt get an admission into my dream school University of Ibadan to study Medicine.. My life felt like it was gonna end.. My world kept shattering.. My family gave me no breathing space..I wasnt free to do any of my fun activities..I was grounded for months and weeks.. Until i had to sit for the next jamb... I sat for the next jamb..and still got no admission...

All thanks to God.. i gained admission into a Caribbean Medical University.To study my dream course medicine... Let me Highlight How Medical school works in the Carribean.. Its a total of 4years.. You spend a yr doing Foundation classes.. (PreMed). And then you spend 2 years doing Basic Science..Where proper medical school begins.... I scaled through every class and every course.. I finished both my foundation and my basic science classes... To start my clinicals in the States..I had to go back to Nigeria to apply for a US visa.. I got B1 visa successfully..and without much stress...thanks to my school

The moment came when my future was to be defined... I was registered for the board exam.. United State Medical Licensing Examination.. Passing this exam was gonna shape my future.. Failing it was gonna crush everything i built from my Nursery School days.. I sat for the exam after spending 4months studying..The first challenge for me was motivation. So Before the exam, I watched all Kaplan Medicine videos (also watched surgery, psych videos, a few important obgyn and peds video). Then I took a baseline NBME where I scored 191.

It showed the videos weren't enough for me to be prepared for my step 1....iI sat for the main exam.. USMLE Step 1.. And i scored 230... I was on the edge.. I thought the score was bad.. till my Dean called me directly..And congratulated me.. YH.I knew my dreams were slowly coming through.. I began my 72 weeks clinical rotations at Jackson Park Hospital Chicago.. I took my step 2 examination after my clinical rotations..And i scored 242..A pretty nice score i was proud of..
After all the reading and late night sleeps.. And constant anti depressant helps.. I got a nice hospital for my residency program..Where the money started popping in cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin grin ...From there..I knew my life has begun..My dream has come thru.. I went back to my alma mata.. Encouraged students and gave them tips on how to pass the board examinations.. And surely..I would also want to help my fellow nairalanders that are following the same pathway...

Am a state licensed Doctor.I have been practising for 3 years now..Paediatrics Surgery is my specialized field of medicine. The only problem i have is little time... And..i guess am not just ready to build a family till my workload drops a little bit... wink wink wink wink.. And i hope the woman of my life..Walks into my life..anytime soon...hehe..
The only time i have..I spend it on nairaland wink wink..Reading all the possessed threads.. cheesy cheesy cheesy..

If u also need help following dis same pathways..i can always be available for assistance and advices.. ADIÓS

Lesson: Dont give up quickly..And never settle for less..Always aspire for the top.. If i had given up after failing to get admission twice... I would have been studying maybe Agricultural science... (Patients Are calling**** cheesy cheesy cheesy
I just hope i inspired someone..
