An X user known as @captainarinze, shared an inspiring story about his sister-in-law’s educational journey. Despite scoring 284 on her first JAMB attempt and 320 on the next, she faced repeated rejections from the University of Lagos (UNILAG) for medicine. Determined not to let her talents go to waste, they encouraged her to take the SAT exam. With just two weeks of preparation, she scored an impressive 1450.
Their proactive approach paid off as she secured two fully funded scholarships and one partial scholarship to a U.S. university. This remarkable achievement highlights the transformative power of seizing opportunities beyond traditional pathways.
@captainarinze expressed bewilderment at UNILAG’s admissions process and lamented the loss of bright minds within the local educational system. This narrative underscores the importance of access to opportunities, information, and support for realizing one’s full potential.
