From Microbiology Graduate to Medical Student
A Nigerian lady who earned a bachelor's degree in microbiology has shared her emotional journey of finally securing admission into medical school after three attempts. In a TikTok video posted by @becomingdrvee, she documented her progress over four years, starting with her graduation in 2022.
The timeline began with her crying tears of joy as she received her BSc in microbiology in 2022. However, her first attempt to enter medical school in 2023 ended in failure.
