Phi001: That's the point bro. You can see for yourself that the admissions process was based on hasty assumptions that turned out to not hold water and unfortunately destroyed the chances of this brilliant girl. To avoid such stories, the universities should get the grades from the examining bodies. Simple. And then do whatever GPA calculus they want to do..Not put the weight on naive 17 year olds who may think they are being smart but are actually acting foolishly. IFE should learn from this..I will definitely send this advice to the professor himself, with the required respect and humility. |

seriousstudies: You don't seem to understand the process clearly yet. Let me try and help. The total admission quota for Medicine in OAU is 100, and that includes UTME and Direct Entry). In other words, there are only 100 slots available. But all 100 slots are not available to her. She must be part of the best 45. Why? 1. Admission into Nigerian Universities are considered on three grounds based on the nationally specified criteria (which I think ought to be reviewed now, by the way): A. Merit =45% (This covers all candidates from the country - and it is automatic admission once you meet the cut-off mark) B. Catchment = 35% (this refers to those in the states specified as catchment area for each University: For OAU, that is Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti) C. Educationally disadvantaged states (ELDS)=20% = This refers to all the 19 Northern States, and Ebonyi, Rivers and Bayelsa. This means that if a student from any of the catchment states or ELDS scores a similar mark or even lower to hers, but meet the required cutoff for the course,they will gain admission before her. So in truth the young lady was vying for one of the 45 slots open to candidates chosen on merit, not one of the entire 100 slots available. She only stood a 45% chance of gaining admission for that course in Ife. It's not an ideal system, but it is what has obtained for decades. Maybe someday it will be changed. 1 Like |

Vcojuro: Guy, the provost's arguments are insightful and compelling. The problem is that they make a hasty assumption to reach their conclusions.That is the problem. A big school like IFE can't continue this way, and that is the fact. You don't base admissions decisions on assumptions. NO, that's not done. |

dabossman: Guy, your bolded statement is not wrong. She indeed had only a chance with merit. The problem with this whole process is that both parties made too much assumptions which turned out to not hold water. It's unbelievable that IFE made admissions decision based on assumptions, that's the point. Read my previous answers if you have not. |

dabossman: Guy, this is not about spoon-feeding. This is about doing things the right way. Let's not bend the issue at hand. A university does not base admissions decisions on assumptions. It bases them on hard facts. And the most robust ways to get hard facts is to get them from the horses mouth, the examining bodies. Bro, not sure, but I hope this is not what you are arguing sha. Because that would mean it is fine that our universities, even the very best ones by naija standards, remain at the very bottom of the barrel in the admissions process. I rate IFE really high, that is why I'm providing such sensible suggestions. A university that has class cannot base admissions decisions on assumptions. It is clear that this one was based on assumptions that turned out untrue - on both parties' angle. IFE has fault here, just as the naive student has fault. Who is supposed to be more sensible in academic matters? 17 year old or an institution that has been around for close to 50 years and parades some of the best profs in the country and perhaps in Africa? Can't believe we are debating this. |

The truth in all these matters is that IFE has made an assumption which turned out to be unfactual, unfortunately.

baum1: We are not debating.We are rubbing minds. You need to ask yourself; who needs who more? Does the university need the student more or does the student need the university more? Why should the university go out of its way to help a student who hasn't filled an application form correctly out? So what happens if she spells her name wrongly, or writes her DOB in mm-dd-yy instead of dd-mm-yy? They have thousands of applications to deal with. The Verification processes is carried out to ensure whether you have been honest in your application, not to help correct your errors if any. Such a costly error in itself could be a grounds for disqualifying your application. Besides, who is to determine if it was an honest error or something done on purpose for whatever reasons? Do they now contact her to find out when there are 100's of candidates who have filled their application correctly? You say OAU made an assumption, but they actually worked with data provided by the applicant. And the applicant should put his/her best foot forward. 3 Likes |

dabossman: Good one bro. The student needs OAU more, that is one. Two, they made a heavy assumption in the data provided and this was even clearly their fault as their system didn't have space for some of the subjects that the young girl took. That's quite clear, no? Check the other threads where people have discussed this. They assumed the student must have either gotten an F or registered for the exam but didn't do it. That is a hasty assumption..If I am doing analysis and I get data from the world bank and the data points from the world bank are missing in some years, it is reasonable to assume that the data truly does not exist when I have not done my due deligence to establish this fact by either checking the country's government website (horses mouth) or checking other data sources such as the IMF, Trade Websites etc? From every angle that we bring it, it is evident, and become increasingly evident, that the school made an assumption, a hasty one, that turned out to be untrue. I bet they didn't know if would go this far. And no, checking from the horses' mouth (WAEC/JAMB) for all candidates as the standards for admissions does not mean going out of the university's way. The is a glaring hole in the admissions process and I am sure not only IFE is guilty of this, but IFE remains guilty nonetheless. It only means doing the right thing that a school hoping to be tops one day would do. Admissions decisions are not based on assumptions. They are based on hard facts. Unfortunately, IFE has based the admissions process on assumptions, partly. This should change if it wants to be in the comity of the positions it is aiming in Africa or in the world.

baum1: Below is a quote from the FAQ section of University of California,Santa Cruz. Now, in their system,the student is expected to request for an official high school transcript from the school he/she graduated from. Admitted First-Year Students Your admission to UC Santa Cruz for fall quarter 2016 is provisional subject to the conditions listed in this contract, which is also provided in the portal at my.ucsc.edu. “Provisional” means your admission will be final only after you have completed all the requirements below. FAQ 4A: What do you mean by “it is your sole responsibility to meet all conditions" as it relates to the deadline for official transcripts (July 1, 2016)? Answer 4A: As an incoming student, you are the person held responsible for making certain that all deadlines are met. Many students will assume a parent or a counselor will take care of sending required transcripts – this is a bad assumption. You must ensure that any item that is required of you to submit is received by the Office of Admissions at UC Santa Cruz by the stated deadline. (If your school sends official transcripts electronically, it needs to be received by July 1; if your school sends official transcripts via mail, it needs to be postmarked by July 1.) It is your responsibility to monitor your student portal to verify what has been received and what is still required. Remember, it is your admission offer is subject to immediate cancellation if the deadline is not met. Do not simply request the transcript be sent, ensure its receipt through the MyUCSC portal. http://admissions.ucsc.edu/apply/conditions-faq.html What's my point here? The University could easily have written to the school to request for the transcript, rather than leave it to a naive 17-year old as you have suggested, but they didn't. The responsibility has been put on the applicant to not only make a request from their institution, but to also follow up and ensure the required transcript gets to the university. Failure to do that and you lose your provisional admission. The university will not go out of it's place to be saddled with such logistic palavar. Here in Nigeria,the exam board, WAEC sends your result to your high school,and they in turn provide you with a statement of results. Armed with this you make your application for admission. Don't expect the university to start making inquiries about discrepancies on a document you submitted with your own hands. 2 Likes |

baum1: Here are application requirements from another university in South Africa. How do I apply to study at Stellenbosch University? A: All you just need to do is apply online at the website here. This will ensure that you receive a unique student number immediately as well the ability to track the status of your application online. With your student number as reference, you then submit certified copies of your school leaving / degree certificates and academic transcripts to info@sun.ac.za. Please be sure to submit your most recent results, evidence of what you are studying in your final year of school as well as predicted grades for these subjects. Please note: places are limited in all Faculties and therefore, it is important to apply early and ensure that your application is 100% complete. https://www0.sun.ac.za/international/frequently-asked-questions-1/applications.html 100% complete. Not missing two subjects you sat for, but didn't include for reasons best known to you. The 17-year old must be that responsible bro. |

dabossman: Guy, what are you trying to defend inefficiency? I have a degree from Stellenbosch University and the picture you are trying to paint is untrue. Stellenbosch does not admit you if they are unsure that you have supplied ALL information about your past education. This is a school I attended, so I know. See, no need to try and defend IFE. They have made a mistake here. I don't want to push more. I am sure you know what certified copies of results are. In case you don't, it means copies of original results statements/transcripts signed and stamped by the court of law or notaries public. At some points, some of these foreign universities were even requesting scratch cards from West African students in order to check their results online. I'm sure you know that certified results are not the same as results entered online. To certify something, the originals must be seen and copies signed and stamped by someone as evidence that original had been seen. See bro, I'm beginning to suspect that I have been around for a longer time in the world than you, just as others have been around longer than me. That's fine. I like the way you're trying to defend your position, and an older person truly does not know all, but on this one, IFE did inefficiently. Please don't let me expose myself..Already giving too much info. IFE made a costly assumption on this one, and I cannot see how they are right here.

Dunsin89: Guy, think deeper, please. What variables entered into the calculations? Were the variables right or were some based on assumptions. Deep thoughts are important here. I can say 1+3=4. Am I wrong? No! But my 1 and 3, are they the right numbers to use? Debatable. That is the problem here!! They made some assumptions which made them allocate zero to the 8th subject by assuming either she failed it or she didn't do up to 8 subjects.. Normally, university admissions should be based on factual variables obtained from the examining bodies or via notarized copies as the other poster that I have responded to talked about. If IFE wants to rise to the level of its vision, it must do things in a more efficient manner. This admission procedure leaves bitter taste in the student's mouth. |

baum1: Sorry, bro but I cannot agree with you that it is the Universities responsibility to correct an error made by a student in her application. It is clear from the examples I gave that it is the students responsibility to ensure that certified results are presented. I have applied for Masters Degree admission in UK universities before and studied there too (although for a professional certification), I applied for the transcripts, I followed up with the Uni to ensure my school had sent said transcript to them. That a university does a back check to verify your results is just to confirm that you have not falsified any info. But if you think they will find a discrepancy and then be obligated to start going the extra mile to help you correct such and improve your chances of admission, that is where you are wrong. It's like applying for a visa,and they discover that a certain document is incomplete or missing. Contacting you for clarification is not obligatory but discretionary. OAU is not under any obligation to help correct the error if/when they spotted it. And I've been in this world since the late 70's. So maybe you're older, maybe you're not. 3 Likes |

baum1: You keep calling it an assumption, when it is the laid down criteria used for everyone else. Provide your details, the data provided by you will be used to calculate your score and eligibility for the course applied for. Someone submitted an incomplete application and it's the university's fault? In a situation where there are hundreds of applicants seeking insufficient slots, you really expect one student to get special treatment? The same criteria was used for everybody. I have travelled to the UK, I didn't need to do an interview before visa was issued. I have been to the US, I needed to show up for an interview before visa was issued. Each embassy with its own criteria. Is one process better than the other? In my opinion, oh yes, one was less cumbersome; but their criteria is their criteria. Besides,you are talking about WAEC as if they are so efficient. The same WAEC that takes about 5 years to provide original certificates? I know how many months it took me to get my uni to send my transcripts to the UK university. And that's just from a graduating set of about 20 people. You now think WAEC will respond promptly to all the Federal, State and Private universities in Nigeria promptly if bombarded with requests for result transcripts for millions of students? Some kids will wait for admission till eternity. 2 Likes |

dabossman: Bro, you are free to take your position. That's okay. The fact remains that in computing the O'level GPA, an assumption was made and it was that the student either made an F in the 8th subject or registered for the 8th subject and didn't take it or worst of all took less than 8 subjects. The assumption turned out wrong. The problem was even compounded by the fact that the uni's portal failed to accept some of the subjects that the girl took. If they had addressed these issues, not sure such an excellent student would have been omitted. The student has faults for not whistle-blowing, but IFE has a greater fault for creating an inefficient admissions portal and making assumptions. I believe this should be clear. Please read the other thread for the proof that the girl's subjects, some were not entered If a university wants to develop, the university's admission process is vital. No room for assumptions, get results from the horses' mouth. It's that simple. Scratch cards are available. Admissions office must be proactive. And if IFE wants to near the kind of level they are aiming for, an efficient admissions system is very vital. It's that simple. You see, to avoid this kind of problem, a university should follow more efficient processes. Get the results from the main source. It's that simple and it is what many universities across the world do. Meanwhile, another area I need a proof is that 'it was clearly spelt out that 8 subjects would be used to calculate the final marks of students'. Because it is possible that some of the rookie students were thinking 'abi I passed 5 relevant subjects, so anything less than 5 go do'. One of the major issue here which I suspect, although I stand to be corrected, is a lack of initial transparency. Students didn't have a clear idea of the entire process, leading to the many assumptions from students and, unfortunately, the university officials. Would be good to get a view on this.. And please, no one is talking about results verification, definitely not me. What I am saying is that it is more efficient to get results from the horse's hand, either directly from the examining body or, following your earlier suggestions, through a certified copy. And certified copy means a signed copy of the original. In this case, the original contains all the subjects and grades obtained..The university did not request certified copies and did not obtain grades directly from source,but went ahead to assume student failed 8th subject or did only 7 subjects. This was the root of the erroneous assumptions I have hammered on. |

baum1: Lol. We can definitely agree to disagree. You speak as if the University of Ife is not a microcosm of the larger society. We recently saw a N-Power program where the data of applicants from one state was mistakenly switched with that of another on a FG run portal. Even the Uni's portal allegedly has issues as you have repeatedly stated. Yet you assume that WAEC's online portal is full-proof and error free? So,what makes you think that a visit by the university to WAEC's portal may not turn up someone else's results due to some technical glitch. Alas,the student fails to get admission without even knowing where the error is from. No one has said the process is the most ideal. There are many processes that can be improved upon and simplified in Nigeria, like the processes of getting an Int'l Passport, Driver's License, Voter's Card, recovering your lost SIM card or even buying Lake Rice. But until the process is improved on, at least ensure that you adhere to the modalities of the process currently in use, especially when you are the one who needs that which you seek more. Plus you suggested that the university buy recharge cards? At whose expense. 500 students applied for a course. We have only 100 slots. Then you expect that the uni will buy 500 recharge cards to confirm who has the right qualification or not? Are the applicants ready to pay a non-refundable administrative fee for admission processing? Since you're from the old school, probably before internet in Nigeria, how did we handle our uni applications. We presented originals and copies of a statement of result from our high school, not WAEC document. Today they have online portals where you can fill in information. That means there is improvement in the process. But we followed the guidelines present then. In reality, if the universities have to request for the results,it should be from the schools the kids graduated from, not the exam board. My two pence. Enjoy what's left of your day. 2 Likes |

These guys like deceiving us. We asked for list of those admitted into medicine, meanwhile they are bringing the database showing the rankings of those who applied for medicine. We are not stupid, what we are asking for is the final list of admitted candidates because that's where the real deal. All schools have a database for admission policy and other process. Even banks having a database of customers does not mean all the customers are loyal to them. It's simple they should release the list of admitted candidates and their scores to show if they truly comply with NUC admission policy. The picture that guy released is what we call "window dressing", just to shift attention from them. Instead of them to release the admission list, they are releasing the data base of the admission process. An analyst knows that database and admission list are two different things at odd with each other. Even the database they released is not complete, they should have started from the candidate with the highest score to that of the lady, we will use their jamb reg no and cross check it, on jamb website to see their admission status. They will not release the complete data base because if they do, you will see candidates with very low scores, those who are not in the first 500 on the list. They should show us the final list of admitted students or complete data base of those who applied for MBBS (we will check on jamb website to cross check if their admission status correspond with their position on the data base) The school authorities are learners , they should try and meet politicians,who can lie with ease. |

All of you should please stop complaining. A lot happens in life and we just complain without knowing why. Medicine is very competitive. Download the screening result she uploaded and you'd see where it's written that five subjects were more considered. now let's look at her grades in those subjects English Language A1 Mathematics. B3 Chemistry. B3 Physics. C4 Biology. C4 who cares for your proficiency in English language when u want to study medicine and surgery? seriously speaking with competition this days don't we think so many people scored better than that ( even if its through miracle centres) ? have we seen results of people from miracle centres? There is an average of 5 A's in their results. I pity the girl sha, but instead of all these, she should think of better things. God has a plan for her. I don't support malpractice but even brilliant students use it these days. They get exam questions and answers online even before entering hall. let's just hope for the best for her |

This is a very good one from the Provost. Even in LAUTECH (despite our current crisis), this candidate could not be admitted for Medicine on merit because her score of 71.7% (approx. 72%) by LAUTECH screening score format, with her WASC results and JAMB score, is below LAUTECH cutoff of 73% for merit admission into Medicine in 2016/2017 admission year.

I really feel sorry for this young lady, but need to clarify some of the points raised by people who have been commenting on the issue. The mistake was entirely from the brilliant young lady and not from the school as most people have been insinuating - the computation of the score is done automatically by the Computer based on whatever information you input. I recall doing this for my daughter - first with her NECO result and then updating to the WAEC result when I saw that I could not input all the required minimum of 8 subjects using her NECO result, even though, that would have given her a better result. That said, I met the Provost last year when my daughter also applied to study Medicine and I felt she had a good chance having performed well in both the UTME and Post UTME exams, and having excellent grades in her WAEC exams. To my utmost surprise, the Provost who I was meeting for the first time attended to us very pleasantly and requested that my daughter search for her name on the list - she was number 350 on the list - about 3500 people had applied to study Medicine in OAU. The Provost painstakingly explained to us the admission process as he has done in his clarification here and the options that were available to my daughter. So I am confident that his explanations are true and not necessarily biased against the young lady in question. I can vouch that he is a good man. For me, I think the Medical and Dental Council needs to look into the quota being allocated to Medical schools. 100 is not enough for a school like OAU or any other school for that matter. With our teeming population of 150 million people, we need to be producing more than 100,000 Doctors annually to keep up with medical needs of the nation. I am also a strong advocate of scrapping JAMB and allowing the Universities to manage their own admission process based solely on merit and not any other quota system. 1 Like |
