A Ghanaian lady has addressed concerns raised by some Senior High School graduates who sat for the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Known on TikTok as @ami_willa, the young lady posted a video on December 4 where she spoke about the messages she had received from SHS graduates wanting to find out whether they could secure admission into the university with their WASSCE results.

She then took it upon herself to research university admissions in Ghana, where she found out that public universities accept students with results ranging from aggregate 06 to 36.
The lady, however, noted that the downside of this was that certain programmes, such as Law and Medicine, had competitive cut-off points, making it difficult for persons with certain grades to secure admission.
She also stated that another option available for SHS graduates to pursue university education was to focus their attention on distance-education programmes.
Additionally, she said that agriculture programmes and basic-education programmes often tend to admit more students.
