The post quickly garnered attention, with many users offering diverse opinions and guidance. One user, @Iamolababs, commented: "You can’t get law with your score except you are seeking for admission in a private school." Another, @bnbaz14, suggested: "Yes you can if you have good post UTME score they will add them together." Additional advice included recommendations to change courses or consider different universities, highlighting the competitive nature of Law admissions in Nigeria.
