- A video of an SHS graduate has got people talking after she went to the University of Ghana Admission Desk

- Social media users who thronged the comments section of the video have shared varied opinions on the issue confronting the young lady
The desire of Christina, a Senior High School graduate, to be a University of Ghana student now faces uncertainty.
This comes after she was denied admission, which prompted her to travel from Tarkwa in the Western Region to the admission desk at the University of Ghana Stadium in a bid to resolve her concerns.

Speaking on the sidelines after visiting the admission desk, the young lady, who looked frustrated, disclosed that she chose Earth Science and Biological Science as her preferred programmes but failed to secure admission in either.
Quizzed on the feedback she received from admission officers, Christina said she was informed that the WASSCE results she submitted showed she had E8 in English in her West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
She contested the claim, stating that it was for this reason she used two WASSCE results in applying for admission, one of which she scored C6 in English.

"I had E8 last year, and this year I had C6, but the person who filled the forms did not key in this year’s subject result, yet my application included the index number for this year's results as well," Christiana said.
The only option offered to her by the Admission Desk was to pursue a diploma course, something she is not enthused about.
Christina disclosed that she has, however, been offered admission to study at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), but was still assessing her options.
Asked the interviewer about her desire to study at the University of Ghana, she simply responded, "It is the best school, and I want to be here."
At the time of writing the report, the video had generated over 2,000 likes and 100 comments.
