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."
