UI medicine student shares admission experience
On her LinkedIn page, Bukola Olabintan shared what she found out about the admission process in UI.
She said in her LinkedIn post:
"After four unsuccessful attempts to gain admission into Medicine and Surgery through institutions such as FUTA and UNIOSUN, I decided to try the University of Ibadan, and by God's grace, I gained admission on my very first attempt.
"If there is one thing my journey has taught me, it is that admission is possible with the right mindset, preparation, strategy, and information.
"Had I known better, I would have chosen UI earlier, but now I know better and I can do better. Many people see UI post-UTME as some impossible feat. They advise aspirants not to consider UI medicine or to switch courses, but trust me, in terms of transparency of admission in Nigeria, UI is the best.
"Are you aspiring to get into UI medicine? My name is Olabintan Bukola Deborah, also known as Tanimola, a 100-level Medicine and Surgery student at the University of Ibadan, and I am organising a mentorship programme on WhatsApp to help prospective candidates prepare for the UI Post-UTME."
In a chat with Legit.ng, Bukola shared the UTME and post-UTME scores she had in UI, and what stopped her from gaining admission into FUTA and UNIOSUN.
She said:
"For UI UTME, I had 320 and for post-UTME at 80/100. In Uniosun, I was given pharmacology but couldn't pay the school fees in 2022.
"FUTA gave me biochemistry in 2023 with a UTME of 285, it was quite hard but I had to go to school so I accepted it and continued to try getting MBBS that I wanted."
