Competition wey person from Yobe with UTME score of 160 will be given medicine and surgery on merit list while someone with 300 from Anambra or IMO would not. Is that "competition" ?

No one from Yobe with a score of 160 would gain admission into UNIZIK. Even at that, I strongly doubt such a person would gain admission to study Medicine in any Northern university. She is not competing with people from Yobe to get into UNIZIK, except she wants to study in a Northern university, which not many Igbo females do compared to their male counterparts.

Doctors dey go strike because of non payment of salaries this one dey enter Las Las na UK she go practice

Gerrard59:
A PhD in biomedical sciences or medicinal chemistry could have been okay. Also, she could have done the JAMB writing when she was either a first year or second or even third year Chemistry student at UNIZIK. Her choice nevertheless.

BTW, what was her final CGPA as a first graduate?

Biomedical engineering in America should have been the next step for her,.if she likes medical sciences so much.

She wasted that grade mehn.
I'm pained.

Newlymarried:
Na wah oh

Schoool life no even dey tire her

So after 4 years plus,person go do extra 6 years plus again.

This one Full Frustration!

..she never see money that's why that determination go disappeare 😆

MEEVEET:
Why not just do direct entry

First class in bio chemistry can easily get you to second year med-sug

God bless you my brother, exactly my thoughts

Judolisco:
eno easy like that oh

Depends...

I know at least two doctors who did something similar to what she did, and I also know another doctor who used his first class degree to get into medicine in UI (It was biochemistry).

EIther way, she would find medicine easier. Palaver be...money for studies.

Ijobaorun:
She should seek admission abroad. It will pay her than in Nigeria.

Do you know how much i costs to study Medicine abroad? Medical school in Nigeria is highly subsidised and also one of the best. That's why it's difficult to gain admission to study medicine in Nigeria. Our leaders know they cannot import doctors from other countries the way they import engineers. That's why they spend more on medicine than they do on a course like Engineering.

Ignorant advisors. With that brain, she should have written SAT rather than JAMB and get into a good school in the US. Show them you graduated with a first class in Chemistry. They admit you to study Biology, ace it and go on to become a medical doctor with further studies in the only country where skilled black professionals earn more than anywhere else. First class in Chemistry is not common, unlike numerical sciences.

Is she really Igbo sef?

Maybe she want to start a fresh like jambetos

Why not Direct Entry!

She has a first class in Chemistry. What she would have done is to write SAT, and score very high then apply to universities in the US that would admit her to study a life science course (scholarships are plentiful). Upon graduation, she can proceed to study to become a medical doctor. Taking a loan to study medicine in the US is a better option than studying it in Nigeria (ASUU + internal issues). If she now decides to later relocate to the US after her studies at UNIZIK, that makes her current decision even more foolish because she would spend a WHOLE LOT and have wasted years she would have used in acclimatising in the US.

I guess you've have not heard of ELDS ( educationally less developed states) or catchment areas. I have seen where a guy with JAMB score of less than 180 was given Medicine and surgery admission at ABU - Zaria. Are u aware that a Candidate from say Anambra or Enugu has a cut off mark of 130 to gain admission into unity schools ( Federal government colleges) while a candidate from kebbi or katsina requires just 4 marks for the same thing? That's quota system for you.

She must have scored the highest in jamb

darkCoal:
My type of girl. Beauty plus brain

Your type indeed

MEEVEET:

It's not wicked system it's competition

It depends on your post utme score or weac results

Which competition are you talking about like some of us were not the victims of the wicked system he is talking about? You would score 300 and above and you still wouldn't make the cut off mark but candidates with less than 250 marks would be given medicine because they are on VIP lists

Congratulations girl

Not a good route. People send their kids to Nigeria to study Medicine. If her parents or guardians can sponsor her in Medical School in Nigeria, it's still better for her. Going to America to study another course for three to four years before applying to go to Medical school is a total waste of time. She should just graduate in Nigeria and move to America as a Medical Doctor. All of us studied in Nigeria and graduated on time, even with the numerous ASUU strike. No stress!

ELDS constitutes less than 30% in admission requirements. Merit has it at 45%. Catchment area comes next. The number of Anambra folks who chose Medicine to study at UNIZIK outnumber those from other SE states and neighbouring states like Delta and Kogi. Also, based on catchment areas, someone from C/River or Rivers has a higher chance of being admitted to study Medicine at UNIZIK than someone from Yobe. So, someone from Yobe can't gain admission to study Medicine at UNIZIK. It is Medicine and Igbos are notorious for scoring very high. Juilet is the one who has a greater chance of being admitted to study Medicine at ABU than the fellow from Yobe. As for Unity schools, catchment area does not apply.

As for the fellow who gained admission to ABU to study Medicine is their problem, but I am quite surprised at such folly and anomaly.

If I write JAMB again, na 450 I go score❗️❗️😎😎

femi4:
Wrong move
About to waste 7yrs + X (ASUU strike)



She should have gone for masters-PhD in another field

Depends on what she wants to do. If she does PhD in chemistry with her heart in medicine, she might not finish the course (PHD is where they separate men from boys. Hearing people who went through PHD's horror tales....

VeeVeeMyLuv:

That's how it is done mostly in US

BSc in basic science courses such as microbiology, chemistry and biochemistry then proceed to med surgery

It depends...basically, you can do a degree in any course, and then go on to read medicine, provided you pass the MCAT. Of course you may need to sign up for courses in the sciences while doing your undergrad course.

Unlike in the UK, studying Medicine in the USA is only available as a postgraduate option, so you can start a Medicine programme after you complete a four-year pre-med degree in a subject like Biology, Chemistry or Neuroscience.

However, it’s important to note that a pre-med degree is not the only pathway to medical school in the US. Students from diverse academic backgrounds, including humanities and social sciences, can also apply as long as they have completed the necessary prerequisite coursework, which may include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and English.

This degree will then prepare you for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), which is required to get into medical school.

The MCAT score, along with their undergraduate GPA, extracurricular activities, research experience, and letters of recommendation, will be considered by medical schools during the application process

example of people who did not read typical pre med courses, yet became doctors.

Fair analysis. The parents better be well boxed up to finance writing USMLE.

U obviously don't understand how admission works

In UNN u need 310 minimum
Those that use 270 are from educationally less developed states don't know of your school but UNN admission is 98 % merit

She has done well for herself.

Not that easy bro.
Most schools like uniben even stopped DE into many of these professional courses..

Eastern Europe or Asia is the only place one can study medicine and it's damn expensive. Naija is better except excess funds dey

I dont know why yebo people like to overdo their things.

Someone that can easily secure direct entry went writing jamb again after spending 4yrs in school.

I blame Lord Lugard for this dirty union with yebo people

JAMB is not child's play o. If a solid first class student couldn't aced it all who will?

That means not in this life will anybody score 400/400 in jamb
