"You are from Edo...it contributed to it.
"How was your O'level?
"And Medicine is a very competitive course ooh...alot of things go on during admission into.medical courses(some buy admission and stuff).
"If you were from any south eastern states or the North and Ebonyi State(states under ELDS),you would have been admitted into the department.
"But you are from Edo,so your admission was strictly on merit.
"So there was no catchment area or ELDS used in yours.
"Sorry tho."

"Consider going to a state university,your score is really high and it will be really saddening that despite the high score you end up staying at home for another year .The goal is to read medicine , whichever school such goal was attained doesn't change the fact that you ended up being a medical practitioner.I wish you best of luck anyways."

"This was what they did to me also.
"Just cus of my desperation to enter school, I accepted that course.
"Someone will suffer and get good grades, but school will give us the course they want for us."

"I think you have two options here, Either you reject it and go to COOU., because they will definitely admit you with this your score...or you accept the transfer to biochemistry,then after your 200 lvl you will switch to medicine, provided that your 100 and 200 lvl GP is upto 4.5."
