Still Waiting for Legon: Frustration Mounts as UG Admission Lists Remain Unreleased

For anxious applicants awaiting their fate at the prestigious University of Ghana (UG), Legon, the wait for the 2023-2024 admission lists has become agonizingly long. While other major universities like KNUST, UCC, and UPSA have already welcomed their new cohorts, UG remains shrouded in silence, leaving thousands in limbo.

Frustration Mounts as UG Admission Lists Remain Unreleased

The frustration among applicants and their families is palpable. Social media is abuzz with anxious queries, growing impatience, and even memes poking fun at the seemingly endless wait.

“It’s December 31st, and Legon is still playing games with our future,” tweeted one applicant, echoing the sentiment of many. “KNUST, UCC, even UPSA – everyone’s moved on, but we’re stuck in purgatory!”

The lack of communication from UG officials only adds to the frustration. While other universities provided regular updates and clear timelines, Legon has offered little to no explanation for the delay. This radio silence fuels speculation and anxiety, leaving applicants feeling disregarded and powerless.

The consequences of this delay are far-reaching. Some applicants who received offers from other universities are forced to make difficult choices, unsure if they should hold out for Legon. Others, particularly those who applied later in the cycle, are left in a state of uncertainty, unable to plan for their future education or career.

While the reasons for the delay remain unclear, some speculate that a larger number of applications, coupled with internal administrative processes, could be contributing factors. However, the lack of transparency from UG leaves applicants feeling left in the dark.

It’s crucial for UG to acknowledge the growing frustration and address the concerns of applicants head-on. Providing a clear timeline for the release of the admission lists, even if it’s delayed, would go a long way in alleviating anxiety and restoring trust.

Transparency and clear communication are key during this stressful time. UG owes it to its applicants to break the silence and provide them with the information they deserve. Only then can the anxious wait for Legon finally come to an end.
