Re: How Many Years Did You Stay At Home Before Gaining Admission? by Nobody: 7:53am On Oct 16, 2013
Emmadani: 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.
Same thing happened to me but the difference was that i gave up instead of trying. Scored 215 in my first jamb and i was told by friends that it wasn't enough to get me medicine and surgery. I ended up not writing any post ume that year. My friend with a lesser score got admitted in unijos med n surg.(same uni i applied in my jamb). Wrote a second jamb n got admitted d next year in EBSU.

I finished secondary school in 1994 with a very good result and gained admission to Uniben in 1998. Abeg how many years be dat? The testimony is that in 1998, I got 4 different courses begging for my attention. Uniben gave me Mechanical Engineering and Physics, Auchi Poly gave me Elect Elect while Yaba Tech gave me Mech Eng. I consulted the juju inside me and he told me to go for Mech Eng, Uniben. I've since graduated, served and currently working with one of the biggest oil and gas firms.
