julie007:The duo of Medicine and Dental Surgery consider themselves equal. No one discipline out ranks the other. Be guided. |

Dvd4:West: UI, arguably the most transparent University in Nigeria. You need to really read to get in, the competition is usually stiff every year. UI is pretty expensive these days, so you know. Don't really know about OAU. And whosoever devised UNILAG's model of Post UTME must be of the devil. North: UNIMAID, the lowest I heard they admitted for Medicine this year was 286. Hence, I believe with a little above 300, you have definitely sealed a spot for yourself in their Med School. It's imperative you know UNIMAID recently jacked up her fees from a paltry 33k basic to 100+. I also heard UDUSOK is pretty cool too. As regards ABU, I'm left confused sometimes. I know two guys with averages of 290+ each who didn't get a spot for Medicine. Also, you might want to look up BUK, ATBU, Bauchi and FUD, Jigawa. East/South-South: In these regions it's usually an uphill task to get into Medicine. Look at UNN admitting 500+ first year medical students. Only to start dropping them along the way. Uniport and UNIBEN's occasional need for legs and sometimes money to get in. DELSU's yeye PUTME model that requires the grace of God. Nevertheless, in the midst of all these, I heard EBSU is really doing well and keeping their game tight. However, their tuition is a bit on the high side. PS: The institutions I wrote about are the ones I have some idea about. Please endeavor to make your own findings. 4 Likes |

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Nobody: 10:00am On Dec 29, 2019 |
Dvd4:Congratulations on your Bsc. If School fees is a big part of your consideration then you should bê considering majorly federal uni and few state unis that are kinda pocket friedly. You did not tell us what you finised physio with but a 1st class or 2:1 should make UI, OAU, Uniben or Unizik easy. All in all, supplement your DE with utme and spread your tentacles beyond Abia. Best of luck. |

ejehijustice:Udus mbbs is quite solid and running well. School fees + acceptance is less than seventy thousand for 1st year and lower for other levels. Hostel is cheap too but there are expensive ones. Admission for Deltans is usually Max of 3/4 of the highest scorers amongst the aspirants from that state. It's a fed. Uni and other states must be considered too. Just aim to be amongst the top 2 aspirants from your state and you're good to go. Also 320+ in utme should sail you in smoothly. There is no post utme as at now My best wishes are yours. |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by ShahRukhKhan: 10:34am On Dec 29, 2019 |
IntellectOzone:Awesome choices up there. You must know how competitive unilag is and her post utme is... UI also considers Alevels well. All in all, good scores matter. Best of luck |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by ShahRukhKhan: 10:50am On Dec 29, 2019 |
UI, Unilag, OAU are more about you meeting their cut off mark. These schools look at ŕesults before deciding cut off in such, they know how many they'd admit. I find OAU post utme trickier than Unilags. For DE, I think the max OAU admitted at a stretch is 28 - when she won't increase her quota. Unimaid truly is not bringing down their fees soon. Although she's good and strong. I pray Udus doesn't increase her own - there is no money on ground. Unimaid admits heavily as their 1st +2nd batch admission list is over 7000. A friend got in this year with 299 (I heard unimaid audio merit is 275) but she also uses the same admission policy like UDUSok and ABU. By admitting just top scorers from merit States and a little bit of relaxation on catchments. By the way Udus has refused to admit via DE into MBBS, BDS, Mls, Nursing and Radiography this year. I don't know why. BUK is only arguably for extreme bookworms as I've noticed. The lowest person I've seen got in with average of 319 or so. I don't know much about her DE. FUD, Jigawa is not yet accredited, I can't really advise someone to go there tho I saw someone screenshot of admission into mbbs with 220. ATBU is more easier to get in than BUK. Apart from Unijos being slow and reclusive, she's also another nice shot for MBBS. UNN is connection and slot buying. Always over the counter with her admission. Then drastic cutting down. I heard the VC needs money. UNIZIK is realistically easier here. Uniport & Uniben are great too. Lasu, Ebsu, Esust, OOU are nice and fast. Save for their fees that are kind of high. I'd advise anyone who doesn't want extra stress to choose any. Delsu should just say they don't want to admit and stop setting mad post utme. Lautech too is trying to catch up |

[quote author=TONYE001 post=84663447] True. This year, they screened their DE applicants. I gathered the questions were mostly English Language, some sciences and general knowledge. UniAbuja is a very good choice but it's competitive. Applicants should prepare their minds for a very stiff competition. Cc: Success410. [/quo te] Hello sir, i'll like to know how long it takes for a uniabuja med student to finish, i hope it's not very long ? cos i intend to apply next year and i heard rumours that it took long before their med student could graduate |

[quote author=ShahRukhKhan post=85312224][/quote]DELSU is a very funny school, they are not organized.. they just employ and device methods to trick and delay students....in 2018 gossssh !!!! My computer for the CBT exam was sooooooooo slow .For 50 questions under 30 mins a slow computer I'll click and wait while my time is going for the next question to come up. Other halls had faster computers, the kind of speed u see while writing jamb That affected me badly as i wasn't able to ansa all. I had 10 questions left unanswered due to the speed of loading questions .2019 they conducted DE exam where no candidate was allowed to use Pencil or biro, just go empty handed into the hall to face 50 unknown questions. Turned out to be a lil bit of maths, confusing aptitude test included, (The person who set those aptitude questions must be from the devil. Each question had abt 2 or 3 examples and the main question it self. The examples had different method of looking for a solution, two or three methods could give a solution to the examples , but not to the question wtf!! the answer is there nonetheless, it takes longer than necessary to decipher, too long in fact. And you have 0.6sec for each question . English where you'll be given questions, nothing in italics or bolded. You'll have to decipher your answer from the options. At the end of the day DE cut off was pegged at 86. The next highest cut off for which was for pharmacy was pegged at 56. The general performance year was low. How'd dey arrive at 86 no one knows What do you think about UNICAL? |

Hey guys... What do you advice someone from Delta state that want to study medicine at OAU? Considering the fact that Delta state is not part of OAU catchment area. |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Brukx(m): 7:48pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Commmy:You love traveling? What's wrong with the schools in your area? Unless you don't stay in Delta |

Pharmacy and medicine Abeg which one hard pass?? |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by HenryHenry177: 11:03pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Topazgem:i also experience this .Everything u just said Is accurately correct I will advise anyone to chose uniben cause he or she has higher chances of gaining admission .Delsu post utme nor b abt who know book de pass am o .Uniben if ur intelligent I bet u can ace it |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Alexaonfleek: 11:46pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Commmy:Hmmm Oau uses catchment area which will make it harder for you as a non indigene. If you want oau, at least 300+ in jamb and also do very well in put me Otherwise put in uniben,you have a higher chance there than oau. Uniport too is good,but their admission is not all that transparent. I think unical is okay too. Otherwise put in delsu or any other state uni in the south south |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by dunsin125: 11:52pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Please who knows if Ebsu admits non indigene well. |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by horpeyemmi66(m): 12:56am On Dec 30, 2019 |
iaamxavier:Every discipline I'd say has it's intricacies. It would be rather shallow to say Pharmacy is tougher than Medicine or vice-versa. I have someone close who studies Pharmacy. The kind of things she complains about are largely Lab Reports(you can easily have 3 reports to submit at a given time), Dispensing Lab(and the ease of scoring a zero, it's even regarded a norm), Pharmacognosy and their many leaves and Pharmaceutical Chemistry (the ease of failing a whole question because you got the preceding ones wrong). Even carrying that heavy COdex is definitely something. People flopping anyhow and having to go back one year. I for one I'm not a fan of excessive chemistry(chemistry that has reduced to just drawing awkward lines and imagining where carbon atoms are ). In Pharmacy, their world revolves around chemistry, not my thing. On the flip side, in medical school you attend dissection sessions where formaldehyde and it's attendant pungent odor leaves your eyes watery and labcoat smelly. Some school's insist on students taking Tetanus injections at regular intervals as a precautionary measure should one cut himself. Reading Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry for two years(it's shorter period though) and you're required to go over everything again because you're about writing an exam that would take you forward or contribute to the misery of medical school should one fail. You've probably heard about people losing their minds in Medical school, ironic right? The lecturers that would come to class with outrageous amounts of slides and sometimes yab people. Going on ward rounds with a consultant during a certain rotation and the consultant decides to chew you because you forgot something about the pathology of the condition before you, this is usually done openly among colleagues and the patient. Many ladies just burst into tears; normal thing. The extremely late nights and very early mornings. Steeple-chase tests that require you staring at maybe a severed arm with the cubital fossa pinned and you're asked to name the structures that make up the roof, floor and boundaries under 1 minute/45 seconds. Histology practicals that leave you confused even the more because what you're seeing under the microscope has no semblance to what you saw in the textbook. The grading system which is usually a negative one for a question you attempted and got wrong as opposed to leaving the question unanswered and scoring zero. In the light of all these, every course has their not so cool aspects, I'm sure even students of Glass Technology or Home Economics would definitely tell you their courses are also tedious. The patient should be the center in health care not the cases we hear of Doctors (Med/Dent) having issues with MLS guys or Physiotherapy people feeling the doctors(Med) are usurping their duties. These issues are usually the Genesis of most MDCN vs JOHESU brawls. I hope you got me. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Commmy: I think the catchment area of a thing has been scraped. But this is Nigeria, you never know. Nevertheless just as any medical school out there you have to work really hard. Score as high as possible, ensure u have a good o level and do your best in the post utme because OAU post utme can be very tricky. PS: There are several delta students here in college of health sciences. Once you meet the cut off no one will denial you admission. |

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Brukx(m): 11:42am On Dec 30, 2019 |
Commmy:There are institutions closer to you than OAU that are even easier to get admitted into. Unless you don't want to consider proximity of distance |
