In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on her TikTok page (_juttaaaaaaa), the lady identified as Mis J said she became distraught and hopeless after walking out of the admission office at UG.

"He told me that you literally don't belong here. People are coming here with A1s, you are coming here with E8 and you want us to give you admission...So I didn't get the admission," she said.
"I went home, I was so distraught because I had put in my application for a Canadian Visa but I hadn't heard anything. So I literally felt like I had no hope. I felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel for me," she added.
