How UI student missed admission for medicine
In a post that quickly drew attention online, the man explained that he attempted to secure admission into the MBBS programme as a second degree at the University of Ibadan.
According to him, his aggregate score fell short by only a few points, which made it impossible for the university to offer him admission into the highly competitive medical programme.
He disclosed that he was transferred to Veterinary Medicine (a branch of medical science that is dedicated to catering to pets, livestock, and wildlife).
