Hi everyone, please I need suggestions of institutions that consider 2nd class lower for direct entry to medicine and surgery.
I’ve tried using google but I’m getting a lot of very conflicting information and I’m not sure what is currently available. Thank you

It would be Private Universities. Most of these Federal & State Universities may tell you to apply, but .... They still end up picking a few on the ladder from first class down. Except of course, 'long legs' is involved. However, I'd rather not send off a discouraging vibe. Who knows?? It's better to try and pass/fail than not try at all.

PS: I'm currently a 4th year MBBS student with a BSc degree in Anatomy. (I didn't get in through Direct Entry)

Dejocular:
Pls medical students in the house, how many hours is it advisable for a medical student to study in a day ??

It depends on what level you are in.

My advice is to refrain from thinking about the number of hours you're supposed to be studying because you can study for 10hours and you've studied only one page.

I'll rather advice that you focus on the number of topics that should be covered in a day.

Let your study schedule be "workload-based" and not "time-based".

Also, incase you'll prefer to know the Federal Medical Schools with the cheapest school fees in Nigeria, I've done the research too.

This DENTISTRY/MEDICINE degree is it really worth it..? This is the second person I'm seeing live failing the 2nd MB exam resit, repeat and taking jamb again, waste of 5 years wtf..! Getting to 3rd year they fail and resit, repeat(another 1 year) fail again and they still go ahead to rewrite jamb nawa ooo, this is the second person I'm seeing doing this in UNN God Abeg

It's definitely worth it if that's what you want for yourself. Please do not compare yourself with anyone.

I remember when I used to worry about main MB exams too. I used to see people I look up to then, fail and resit/repeat/get withdrawn.

It made me feel inadequate. My bestie then, told me to think again because she wouldn't want me to fail out too. I entered med school with that fear.

Las Las by God's grace I made a distinction. Since then, I've learnt to stay on my lane and do what is working for me.

Don't let it bother you that people are failing. You are "you" and they are "them".

Just make sure you find out why people are failing and work on yourself.

Good morning House

It is my pleasure to announce to you all that after two JAMB attempts and three years of staying at home, the Good Lord has finally caused me to smile.

Brothers and sisters, I have been offered Admission to study medicine at the Rivers State University
I give God all the glory.
I want to use this medium to thank you all on this platform for your invaluable advice, your support and encouragement. I want to specially thank Sir TONYE001, Donpre, DrImmaculate and so many others that I may not be able to remember their monikers. May God bless and empower you all in your life endeavours. Amen

Congratulations dear

SF123:
Please dear, i am a medical aspirant to say. i will need you in future for more references and clarifications, if by God`s grace, i get admitted this year ( please apprehend me )

that's not a problem at all. I'm always available via email(ruyinaeteng@yahoo.com), LinkedIn DM (Ruyina Eteng) and Instagram DM(ruyina_eteng_medic_diary)

BTW, a huge congratulations in advance!

RenegadeX:
I watched more than thrice and I can say Flesh and blood did not reveal all these things to you especially that part of relating with younger teenage students and staying as far away as possible from them and limit interaction and offer help only when u are needed to, to avoid "see finish" and disrespect. I have seen many matured students make mistakes you pointed out In the video and end result wasn't so palatable. Keep up the good work Jemi

Thank you for your kind words.

Maxitomxane:
Hmmm, true but why does it have to always be like that.
It can be really painful o especially when you have more than the score required.

If someone already has a degree and is coming back for mbbs at age 27+ is still better now?

It's very painful honestly. The age will hit you some times when you sit to reflect on where you're supposed to be at that age, especially if you compare yourself to your agemates who got MBBS admission right out of secondary school.(Its a profession that acknowledges hierarchy. Even if you are one million years older than your consultant or reg, that person is your chief and must be respected by you). I will still advice you to go for it despite your age. If not you may never feel fulfilled. (If that's what you really want)

By the way, for those who haven't seen this, I'm sure you'll like to see it. Based on my experience with starting an MBBS degree as a second degree at age 25+. Advice for unconventional/non-traditional MBBS Aspirants/students/Medics

Maxitomxane:
Good Morning All.

What would be your advice for someone who had 326 in Jamb and wasn't given mbbs but Anatomy.

The person later accepted Anatomy and had 4.90 CPGA and is not sure of crossing to mbbs via top 10 channel.

Should the person take utme again in 200 lvl or should the person finish Anatomy since it's 4 years, then reapply for Utme or better, Direct Entry?
The person will be 22 years in 200 level.


N.B: the person has tried 3 previous times before to get mbbs.

As a graduate of Anatomy(2014/2015 grad set) who is currently a 4th year MBBS student(2024/2025 grad set), I feel qualified to answer this question.

Please do not abandon your Anatomy. Continue with it.(as far as school fees isn't an issue)

But at same time, keep on writing JAMB with all of your heart. (Change institution to a school with lesser Competition)

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Life isn't predictable. Try jamb, try crossing over, try direct entry as well. It may tarry, but one will certainly click.

Lastly, please do not give up. It may be disappointing and tough now. But if MBBS is what you really want, you will get it. Be strategic with your choices.

In these videos, I talked about my JAMB struggle and how I was able to finally get MBBS Admission after writing JAMB 6 times. (In case you've not seen it and you'll want to see it)
