Ghanaian journalists are lazy as hell. The person who wrote this article could have easily fact checked that here in the USA, admission to medical school is not like Ghana. One has to complete pre-med courses and write the MCAT. You can't just go to medical school straight from high school. She may have gotten admission to Harvard pre-med program which in itself is an achievement and not medical school. Congratulations to her and the lazy journalism should be improved.
@Eddie, it might be a sensational headline and presented in Ghanaian journal way but the fact of the matter is that she has gained an admission to the Harvard University, going to do the prerequisite two years course then she is definitely going to get admitted to the prestigious medical school. Thank you Eddie for sharing this information with the people of Ghana. My daughter who has offered a place to read law here in the Uk told me in the USA one has to have his or her degree before he or she can apply to read law. Once you finish your course and pass, you get your JD and you are called to the BAR.
Both happy and sad. First all our raw materials are exported, now the best brains are also been exported. Surely she will not be coming back to practice in Ghana after her education hmmm asem oh. Lets all come together to make America great again. All the best to Lamini
No medical school in the United States offers admission to high school graduates. You have to take at least two years of University Courses, called pre-requisites before you are even eligible to apply. Visit wwww.harvard.edu and search for medical school admissions. I am proud of the the young lady, but this article is a complete fabrication. It is a lie. I live in America.
Congratulations to you my daughter. My only advice to you is to give your best out but not to return to Ghana as a lesbian.
