According to Kennedy, his major concern was the lack of communication from the university on what steps to take next, hence his decision to visit the University of Ghana admissions desk for answers.

He complained that a friend who also passed the entrance exam had been called for an interview.

“I had a friend who also passed the exams. Later, he went for the interview and they changed his course to Physiotherapy. He also applied for Dentistry, but as for me, after passing the entrance exam, they did not call me for an interview. I should get a message saying that I have been declined or something like that. Putting me on hold up to this time is not good,” he lamented.

The video, which gained a lot of reactions, was captioned:

Yaw Dwarkwaa opined:

“I like the confidence of the young man. This is not an issue that should keep an SHS graduate who clearly passed the WASSCE in suspense. Either you accept him into the programme or you don’t,it’s as simple as ABC. I am confident he will get to read the programme he desires.”

“Exactly my thought.”
