• He took to X, where he shared the results of the boy and the four courses he chose
• Ghanaians who reacted to the post offered varied opinions on why the SHS graduate was refused admission to the university

The desire of a Senior High School graduate to become a student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has suffered a setback.

This comes after the Kadjebi Asato SHS alumnus was refused admission to study any of the four courses he applied for despite excelling in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination(WASSCE), where he had an A in five subjects and a B in three subjects.

A young man who shared the boy's WASSCE results on X was astonished that the brilliant SHS graduate was not given any of the four courses he chose.

In a bid to understand what caused this, the young man opined that the course arrangements on the boy's application form could also have been a factor as he chose Computer Science as his first choice and settled on Computer Engineering as his second choice.

He then chose Architecture and Civil Engineering as his third and fourth choices, respectively.

At the time of writing the report, the post, which had raked in over 4000 likes and 11 comments, was captioned:
