Quizzed by a netizen on whether his relative met the cut-off point to qualify for his first-choice programme, the young man, @papaniimensah, responded, saying that his nephew, in that case, should have been offered his second choice, which was Economics and Statistics, especially after obtaining an aggregate of 9 in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
“My nephew was given BSc Business Administration (fee-paying), meanwhile we never selected that option. What happened to his second option of Economics and Statistics? Is it possible we can be given the option if we go to the admissions office?”
He then opened up about his decision to go to the Admissions Assistance Desk at the University of Ghana to find out more about the situation.
