A lady who wrote the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in 2016 was offered admission to study biochemistry.
However, her heart's desire was to study medicine, so she applied to her university for a change of course.

The lady, Empowered Vee, was already in the university and had a CGPGA of 4.14 in biochemistry before she opted to change her course.
Her application to switch to medicine was, however, rejected by the school, and instead, she was offered nursing.
She wasn't happy, so she decided to discontinue schooling and came back home to take UTME again.
When she took the exam in 2017, she got a very low mark and was not offered admission. She sat for the exam again in 2018 and was offered another admission to study microbiology.
Vee, who shared her story on TikTok, graduated in 2021 as the best student in her department with a CGPA of 4.96.

"God, please let me gain admission to study medicine this year."
