3-4 months.The year i finished sec skul is the same year i entered uni.I had a vry low score in jamb (188),yes 188.I almost gaveup,i said no hope at all watsoever cuppled with the stress uniuyo gave me on aptitude test registration stuff,i almost gave up and decided to wait for another year for the next jamb.But one of ma close frnd said i should just write the aptitude test that i might be lucky.Ok,i agreed.I din't even prepare for the aptitude test,i just went to write it for writing sake.Result came out i scored 260,naso i take get admission o,like play-like play...!So no matter ur current state,never giveup,instead of giving up just try,luck might be on ur side.Gabash?..!Btw Economics-uniuyo.

yoged: 2002 to 2007. Just because of having F9 in math from Waec during period . Maths suffer me oooooo. Thunder fire that subject. Did rems in 2003 in unilorin, was given plant biology. Rejected it... But during that period, was working and i made millions of money. Ended up studing Chemistry in Unilorin. Did MAT101=F, MAT102=F. Passed both in 200l had E and B respectively. Did Mat201=F, mat205=B. Did Mat201 in 300L and had E........ I hate Mathematics

Two years ....finished in twenty 10 ...applied Fø̲̣̣я̅ economics in UNN ..didn't get it

In twenty Eleven ..I applied again ...got it ...and lost it ..also in UNN. (if U̶̲̥̅̊ plan on using waec gce of the same year ur admission was given to U̶̲̥̅̊ to do clearance in unn ..U̶̲̥̅̊ r in a very hot soup..even if U̶̲̥̅̊ get all the subjects A ...they wount accept it..it can only be valid from the next admission.year. )

In 2012 I applied Fø̲̣̣я̅ psychology ..and got it ..( could have gone Fø̲̣̣я̅ eco if I still wanted ..and would have gotten it cause their cut off was 233 or so buh my average was 256...buh I went Fø̲̣̣я̅ psych...cause its wat ma hrt wants)


To those who say admission is hard in UNN...it may be true but its all bout determination ..the fact is that ...U̶̲̥̅̊ can't get admision in unn if U̶̲̥̅̊ r disorganized ...U̶̲̥̅̊ must read and know what Ɣo̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊ want and finally pray hard )

Since UNN didn't kill me after all I went tru ...I don't think nothing else will

ANd u thought dat was gud enough 2 fetch u an admission in2 d proposed course? The fact remains dat u were misinformed n misplaced ur chances, if u had gone 4 Geo,u wud hv got it wout stress,many applicants n OAU gat no time fix u sumwhere, u only passed d exam buh dint deserve d course cos u were cut off

long story, i gained admission into kwarapoly immediately i finished sec sch in 2009 but on getting to the screening centre i was told it was a fake admission so i didn't write the following year jamb which was 2010 cos it has already closed so i have to wait for 2011 in which i got 243 did unilorin nd uniabuja postjamb which no one gave me admission but kwarapoly did so i accepted it so i obtained another jamb form against the following year (2012) nd i got 262 nd 66 in jamb nd unilorin postjamb nd i was given human kinetics so i did the two 2gether nd to GOD be d glory i have a ND result in accountancy nd currently in 200 level human kinetics in unilorin

Elliotwiz1: Mehn i spent 2years at home doing nothing...why is it so difficult to get into a uni in Nigeria? Why cant they build more schools and fund them properly? So many exams, just to reduce the number of students and indirectly turning some futures leaders into dropouts.....sighs*
few would be selected cos it's just those few peeps who aced it. ..if you did, you would have been there.

Yeah, i still thank God for precious life and relations im blessed with, i finished 2003 and cleared my result at once, i did jamb about 6times and DE form about four times, in all my jamb i didnt score less than 240 and out this ten years, unilorin took 5 solid years b4 i run comot, uniabuja 2, *ABU 1, UI 1 but im still with ui with this year jamb going for law with 287 in jamb and 75% in post utme which i believe God will surely do this year, but within 10 year i did NCE which is 3years studied ENG and IJMB@iloirin getting 13points out 16pionts for years. just to show my brother and sister that winner never quit. Inshaallahu i will share my testimony with great people of nairaland this year.

My own is 11 good years. My family at a time gave up on me but God said yes for me. But all that is history now. I ve a BSC (hons) in Pol. Science & doing very well.

Infact my story is quite inspiring. I was battling with GCE & JAMB @ the same time. Despite the delay i never lost hope. I had legitimate means of livelihood even as an undergraduate.

Most of my friends that got admission immediately after we left secondary school are still looking for jobs now.
What matters in life is not how fast but how well.
