Doubts cast on Kemi Badenoch’s claim of US medical school offer | Kemi Badenoch

Kemi Badenoch’s 16 -year -old prestigious US Medical Faculty was proposed to a place and the acceptance personnel could not remember the proposal and the university did not provide the course.

In interviews, the conservative leader said that he had offered a place and partial scholarship to examine medicine at Stanford University in California, one of the most competitive US in interviews.

However, medicine is only presented to graduates in Stanford and there is no pre -medicine degree.

When the explanation was requested, the conservatives said that Badenoch did not apply later, but a series of US universities, including Stanford, were offered a place in the US standard tests, including good exam results.

However, academic and acceptance experts aroused doubt about this by saying that this was an impossible scenario.

During Badenoch’s application, Jon Reider, a Stanford admission officer, said that Jon Reider, who is responsible for the allocation of international students and scholarships, would be responsible for presenting Badenoch and he did not do it. Badenoch moved from Nigeria to England at the age of 16.

“Although 30 years have passed, I definitely remember whether we have accepted a Nigerian student with any financial assistance. The answer is that we did not do it,” he said.

Reider said he accepted several African -based students at that time, but did not come from Nigeria. Orum I guarantee that we will not accept a student only based on the test scores and that we will not send an invitation to apply to overseas according to the test scores, ”he said.

“Those levels would not be enough and it would be very tense to accept a 16 -year -old child. He would have to have an extraordinary record.”

Reider also announced that it was unreasonable for a student to offer a partial scholarship that they wouldn’t afford to take.

“If a applicant needed $ 30,000 a year to join Stanford, we would offer them the full amount. There was no point in offering them less because there was no less offer because they could not participate. If we accept them, we wanted them to register.” “We were very generous and we could only offer about 30 full scholarships a year. Some turned us down for Harvard, Yale. I made the elections myself subject to the approval of the dean.

Guardian also consulted Ivy League acceptance coaches, a writer specialized in university assumptions, several Stanford graduates and Ivy League assistant.

All of those who spoke with Guardian, they do not believe that it is reasonable to present a place only to the results of the exam. A senior US academician said he did not feel any exemption, not even for international famous children’s geniuses or royal family.

Badenoch first talked about his entry to Stanford An interview with Huffington Post in 2017When Safran was elected as a conservative deputy for Walden.

He asked what he wanted to be at the age of 16: “A doctor like my family. Going to a very bad school here stopped me. In fact, I accepted to the medical school in the USA-I entered the medical school before Stanford-and I entered the Faculty of Medicine in Nijeria, but as a citizen, it was only much cheaper.”

Additional detail one Interview with The Times in 2024. The interview says: “At the age of 16, the US SAT scores won him a partial pre -medical scholarship to Stanford, but his family still could not meet the place.”

Badenoch’s claim that Stanford was an early offer was mentioned in many other newspaper articles. In a profile in the audience in 2020“He has a partial score to Stanford University to study medicine, Bad says Badenoch.

The same claim is Profile in Daily Mail by Lord Ashcroft Last year, previewing Badenoch biography.

On the websiteThe university says: “Stanford does not have a pre -medicine main branch. You can specialize in any discipline for any of the health professions.” Medicine is a master’s degree.

A conservative party source said that it is a common spoken language to call a science license as “pre -medicine, and that Badenoch uses this terminology that spends time in the USA.

After more questions, the Conservative Party said that Badenoch did not actually resort to Stanford directly, but received a series of offers from the United States, British and Nigerian universities, including Stanford.

Badenoch spokesman said: “About 30 years ago and 16 years old, Kemi was offered a SC-Shoulalarship to Kemi, a part of Stanford that his family could not take.

“However, considering that the subsequent degrees in both engineering and law are a matter of public record, Rachel Reeves question hysterical efforts to refute this from people who have little interest in researching the hole CV, which contributes to the economic crisis of swallowing our country.”

Irena Smith, who started in 1999 and wrote the Golden Ticket Moment, said, “Based on my experience, students with high -sell scores may have been encouraged to receive an application offer without completing an application that includes a list of their activities, teacher advice and multiple articles.

“However, I did not hear that he offered a student a place based on high -sell scores without making a complete application in Stanford.”

The liberal democrats said that Badenoch should explain the entire story behind his visible proposal. A party spokesman said: “Badenoch spent for months asking questions about the resume of the chancellor. Now it is time to answer him.”

In the past, when Badenoch moved to England as the political situation in Nigeria worsened, he said he felt how he was disappointed by the poor British doctrine during his last school years.

At the age of 16, he was studying in a part -time Morden at Phoenix College, a B in the field of biology, a B in chemistry and a D in the field of Math. He said that he had previously been a student A student, but had been left over by the teachers at the college many times and that he had given up applying for Medicine or Oxford University.

Stanford University did not give comments.
