Lady denied admission by UNILAG goes viral
She sat for the exam at another school and passed, but still, she wasn't offered admission.
SHORINOLU SARAH wrote in her TikTok post that she changed her course, thinking that she wasn't offered admission because of the course she picked, but even then, she wasn't accepted.
Speaking about being denied admission by the University of Lagos, she wrote:
"A girl who wrote JAMB for three consecutive years was not admitted, despite having 273 in JAMB and 24/30 in the UNILAG Post-UTME. Even though she applied to Yabatech and scored 8 points above the cutoff, she was not admitted."
"She switched to Mathematics because she felt that maybe her goal of becoming a Chemical Engineer was too ambitious, but she was still not accepted. She became so frustrated that she decided to learn a trade instead of taking any more exams."
After the setback from UNILAG and another institution, she decided to take another exam and apply to a different school.
She continued:
"However, following extensive parental discussions, my younger brother and I took the fourth JAMB, and LASU selected us. Studying my ideal course made me very happy. However, it was a bit difficult for my parents to support us, as my brother is studying Medicine and Surgery, and money became another issue throughout our time in college. While I was in school, I began selling a variety of items, including jewellery, watches, ladies underwear, men’s clothing, snacks, and cake parfaits. However, God is God. Tomorrow, that girl will graduate as a CHEMICAL ENGINEER and CEO. I'm thankful, Lord, I'm thankful."

"Wrote jamb 4 times before gaining admission. Writing another one this year again cos I was given a course I don't want and I'm not ready to settle down with it! Motivated and really proud of you!"
Godsown noted:
"I got 324 in Jamb and 26/30 in unilag post utme and still unilag didn't pick me last year so I'm taking my JAMB tomorrow for the second time hoping to do better."

"Coming from someone who wrote jamb four times too and left final year to be in first year (currently in first year), this is the motivation I need!"
