I want to study Medicine and Surgery. Which four subjects should I register for, and does the school matter?

The standard combination is:
Most medical schools require Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and many also expect Mathematics at O'level. A few accept Mathematics in the UTME combination instead of Physics — check the JAMB brochure and the specific university's requirements.
Do not swap Chemistry for a "simpler" subject. Medicine without Chemistry is not a valid combination in Nigerian medical schools.
Beyond subjects, Medicine is highly competitive: aim for a strong UTME score, excellent O'level grades in the sciences, and serious screening preparation.
