Best advice
medicine is de same in every school, although most people prefer UCH over others due to Alumni support, Equipments and standard, even if u attend absu u can be better than someone from UCH. Therefore i suggest u choose; 1. uniben except for 8yrs of de course and i know u are no longer a kid, it depends on u though.
2. Unical,Uniuyo,Uniport: Among de easiest to get mbbs.
3. Unimaid,Unijos,Buk,etc: If u can survive de emergencies.
4. All mdcn accreditated state and private uni: Get ready for their elephant tuition.
I hope this helps.
