For the Medics who are contemplating living with their parents while going to school, worry not... In my first degree, I lived with my parents from 100L to 400L. In this video I talked about the Advantages (Pros) & Disadvantages (Cons) of living with your Parents/Guardians while going to school.

Well, from the point of view of mine the merit/departmental cut off mark for a federal university is usually higher when compared to a state or private university but here is the bitter truth. Most schools cut off mark for professional courses seems to be starting from 200+ like (UI, UNIZIK, UNN, FUTO, UNIBEN) while some northern and southern state university cut theirs starting from 180+ like(ABSU, GOMBE STATE UNIV, ETC) here is the catch, i will advice you to target nothing less that 98+ or 390+ in your post jamb examination, make sure your choice of university write post utme so as to increase your chances, desist from school that uses o level grade result in place of post utme in calculating their aggregate, consider the state university in your locality,try not to forget the GOD-factor in all your ramification.

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..

MPH is rather too saturated.

Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye (kind of expensive) and the University of Calabar, Calabar both accept a Second class honors (lower division) into Medicine.

She might want to make further enquiries at those Universities
