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.
He stated that his nephew 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 that we can be given the option if we go to the admissions office?"
