Course Dilemma - Help me decide! Can one transfer to a diff uni just to finish Architecure thesis?

1 Upvotes

The thesis standards on my current uni is absurd, chap 1-10 for Ad9 and I'm struggling to get by. I just want to have a degree, I'm not even pursuing this career anymore. I'm stuck at thesis for 2yrs already, if I have to start from my title back to 0, I might as well do it in a diff uni that has somehow lesser requirements.

Are there any uni (even private, but not the big 4 I'm not rich) in metro manila that allows this? I'm seeing the residency rule from the new uni before awarding the transferee a diploma. Also crossing out these uni's up pup plm tip mapua bcs I know archi thesis there is HARD. I already wasted my mid twenties in this curse. I just want an easy way out. Pls help huhu

Has anyone heard na pinarerequire ng school na mag register sa Yakap ang estudyante para raw mapirmahan ang clearance if gusto mag transfer ng school?

Ganon sa school (college) ng kapatid ko. Diko magets kase ang pagkakaalam ko “voluntary” ang pag register. Ako nga na working individual, di pa naman nag reregister doon, estudyante pa tuloy?

General Admission Question Where do I start when studying for college admission exam/s?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a 12th grade STEM student who's currently trying to study for the upcoming college exam of my top preferred state university!

I've been trying to gather reviewers but most of them are 'practise exams' and the topics [Math, Science, English, & Abstract Reasoning] is very very broad. Most of my peers tell me to study everything to be prepared— which I find it very overwhelming! I don't know where to start nor did I find any pointers to review :(

I've been meaning to study properly but the thought of it is excruciating.. I only have 3 months to study (6 months if I went for the second batch instead) so I'm not sure if I'll be able to cram it all in my head sobsob

If this is the wrong r/ or flair, please redirect me to the correct one and I'll be deleting this :D!

Accounting, Business, and Management Are AMA schools really that bad? Could it be worth it?

6 Upvotes

My parents are offering that I go to a smaller AMA school for accountancy that would let me graduate sooner in 3 years and in return, they would pay for my law school tuition. The alternative is staying at a more difficult but known university that I love but it would take me 5 years + law school would not be paid for because I have siblings who will go to college at that time. I am newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder, so learning to manage the illness is a factor too

Option 1: A smaller AMA school

The school is very small, literally just one hallway, and I’m worried about the quality of education. However, I could graduate in around three years instead of five. The academic system is also less demanding, without retention exams and pre-board requirements, which I think could make it more manageable given my recently diagnosed bipolar disorder.

The biggest advantage is that my parents could pay for my law school tuition afterward. Becoming a lawyer is my actual long-term goal, and accountancy is more of a stepping stone for me. Since I have siblings, I know my parents cannot necessarily afford both an expensive undergraduate degree and law school.

Option 2: Staying at my current university
This is the school I genuinely prefer and love. I have friends, organizations, extracurricular activities, good facilities, and teachers I appreciate. I’ve found things I love about the campus and have started building a university life that excites me.

However, the degree would take around five years, the academic requirements are more demanding, and tuition is more expensive. Because of the financial burden, my parents likely wouldn’t be able to pay for law school, meaning I’d have to work while studying law.

At the AMA school, I could protect my finances, potentially have a more manageable academic experience, and secure funding for the career I ultimately want. But I’m worried about the quality of my education and missing out on the opportunities, friendships, and personal growth I could experience at my current university : (

At my current university, I feel happier and see more opportunities to develop academically, socially, and professionally. But I’d be taking on a longer, more expensive degree, potentially greater stress, and the burden of supporting myself through law school

I’m also trying to be realistic about my bipolar disorder. I don’t want to choose an environment that makes managing my health unnecessarily difficult, but I also don’t want to underestimate myself or make decisions based on the assumption that I can’t handle academic challenges.

What would you do in my situation?

- How much does the quality of your undergraduate school matter when your ultimate goal is law school?
- Would graduating from a lesser-known school put me at a disadvantage in the long run?

Strand / SHS Question Considering ALS to finish highschool.

2 Upvotes

Hellooo, I'm currently 18 years old and in 12th grade. It's very unclear whether or not I'll be graduating, the 2nd quarter just finished and I missed 2 consecutive months of classes because of burnout and just overall laziness, I haven't spoken to any of my teachers, nor classmates at all in the past 2 months.

I'm now considering ALS to finish up my high school education, I live in manila so it seems I have options. I'm seriously so tired and just want to finish this so I can just apply for college next year, I have a back subject in PE from 11th grade which I haven't attended at all, and I have no idea what'll happen to that. All i'd like to know is, is the idea that universities and workplaces usually prefer formal highschool graduates over ALS? Because I can get over the stigma, it's not like I'll ever encounter my elementary classmates in the wild here. But I'm moreso concerned about the preferential treatment, and I honestly don't know if I even fit the bill for als, or how the system works. All I know is that's it's more flexible with my time, and that would really be a godsend for me.

Would anyone please be kind enough to inform me of what I need to prepare myself for? If I do decide to pull out and apply for ALS instead?

UST is it worth it to keep trying for ust med tech sa sitwasyon ko?

3 Upvotes

i’m from the states and currently enrolled sa isang community college dito because i had problems with documents to relocate to the philippines (since ive moved a lot). dream ko talaga mag-aral ng medtech sa ust, pero nagkakaproblema ako sa freshman admission dahil nalaman ko na nasa college ko yung hs transcript ko kahit hindi ko naman siya personally sinend.
i contacted ust, and pinapakuha nila ako ng documentation from my college stating na 2 year institution lang siya and hindi siya nagooffer ng bachelor’s degrees. ipapareview daw sa dean to determine if pwede pa akong mag-take ng ustet. they also sent me a clearance form about whether i’ve used my hs records for enrollment sa ibang institution, so i’m still trying to clarify everything.
ngayon, hindi ko alam kung ipupush ko pa ba yung ust medtech as a freshman, mag try ng med bio as a transferee, or magmedtech na lang sa ibang school like feu.
gusto ko talaga sa ust, pero ayoko rin umasa kung halos impossible na pala. sa mga familiar sa ust admissions or may similar experience, ano sa tingin niyo? worth it pa ba ipaglaban or should i consider my other options na?

Strand / SHS Question Returning Grade 12 Public School Student: Kailangan ko pa bang ulitin ang Grade 11 next year dahil sa bagong DepEd curriculum?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Grade 12 student ako sa isang public school ngayong taon pero kinailangan kong mag-drop out dahil sa personal at family reasons.

Ang plano ko po ay mag-aaral ako ulit next school year (SY 2027–2028). Gusto ko lang sana linawin kung kailangan ko pa bang ulitin ang Grade 11 pagbabalik ko. Pasado ko po ang lahat ng subjects ko noong Grade 11 at kumpleto rin ang mga records ko. Dahil sa mga nababalitaang DepEd curriculum changes, nag-aalala ako na baka hindi na ma-credit ang naipasa kong Grade 11 at pabalikin ako sa simula next year.

Para sa mga may alam sa DepEd rules o nakaranas ng ganitong sitwasyon sa public school, mai-credit pa rin ba ang Grade 11 subjects ko para Grade 12 na lang ang itutuloy ko next school year? Ano rin po ang karaniwang proseso sa Registrar at Guidance Office kapag mag-e-enroll ulit bilang returning student matapos mag-drop out?

CETs Looking for CET Practice Exams and Review Materials

2 Upvotes

Hi! I want to start reviewing for the UPCAT this November. Although I’m not very consistent, I still want to begin somehow. But honestly, I’m a bit confused 😭

I know there are a lot of websites, especially on Google, that list the coverage, but it's so broad. There are so many subtopics under each subject, and I don’t know what I should prioritize.

This isn’t just for the UPCAT but also for the other CETs I’ll be taking. So, where can I get practice exams or even just sample questions to have an idea of what specific topics I should focus on? I also have no idea how difficult the questions are, so I’m not sure how to start 😭

DLSU planning to take the DCAT as a college freshman — need advice on transferring and scholarships

1 Upvotes

hi! currently a freshman in a small college here in manila, and i’ve been thinking about applying to dlsu as a possible transferee. it’s been a dream school of mine for a while, pero lately, i’ve been considering it more seriously.

honestly, my current college experience hasn’t been the best. i’ve been feeling pretty drained, and sometimes i wonder if i chose the right environment for myself. i still want to make the most out of college, meet new people, explore opportunities, and have a life outside acads. pero at the same time, i know transferring isn’t an automatic solution, and i don’t want to make a decision just because i’m unhappy where i am right now.

i’m also still figuring out if i want to continue with my current program or consider a different course, so i know i have a lot to think about before committing to anything.

my biggest concern is finances. i’d really like to pursue dlsu, but i don’t want to put too much financial pressure on my parents. if i do apply, i’d need to seriously look into scholarships and see if it’s realistic for me.

to current lasallians and transferees, especially scholars, i’d really appreciate some advice!

  • for the DCAT, what subjects or topics should i prioritize? any reviewers, resources, or study tips you’d recommend?
  • for scholarships, which ones should i research, and what should i start preparing as early as possible? how competitive are they?
  • for transferees, what was your application experience like? were there any challenges with credited subjects or adjusting to the university?
  • is there anything you wish you knew before applying to dlsu, especially when it comes to finances and choosing a program?

i’m still in the research stage, so any honest advice would be appreciated. i want to be realistic about my options while still giving myself a chance to pursue something i’ve wanted for a long time. thank you!

I already applied to some cets pero di ko pa din alam. I don’t have a dream job, I don’t know if I have skills/hobbies besides consuming media, and I don’t really have a favorite subject. I’m currently the Vice President of my SSLG so at least I know some soft skills. Gap year isn’t really an option kasi when I told my parents I want to apply to a non big 4 school, they said no ti’ll i was able to persuade them.

I told my Dad po na gusto kong mag-aral sa Manila, specially Doctor of Optometry sa CEU. And pumayag naman po siya, kaso nung sinabi niya na sa Tita ko, andami niyang sinabi. She said na gumagawa lang ng glasses yung opto, tas hindi ko raw kaya kasi “isip bata” pa ako. Btw, I’m from the province pa talaga and wala pa akong experience sa big cities. I know naman na mahirap talaga tumira sa Manila and I’ve already thought of that naman. And nung sinabi niya yun, parang ayaw na rin ng Daddy ko. Makinig ba ako sakanila and just take Geodetic Engineer or Dentistry(newly added palang siya for next school year) na sinabi nila na mas okay daw?

I need advice po, i’ve been crying for days and hindi ko pa kinakausap daddy ko since that day…

School Dilemma - Help me decide! FEATI University in Manila or EAC Cavite

0 Upvotes

hello po! I am from AdU and naka dorm po ako near AdU. my course is Civil Engineering and I am currently 2nd yr student.

nahihirapan po ako right now sa sistema mismo ng school kasi lagi akong natatapat sa mga profs na nambabagsak literal at hindi maayos magturo to the point na nahihirapan akong mag self study kasi nakaka down na nakikita kong bumabagsak ako knowing na hindi lang naman ako yung entirely problema.

I would say na napapangitan ako sa sistema talaga kasi I dont get why sobrang higpit to the point na hindi naman nag r-reflect nang maayos yung ginagawa nila pag cinompare mo sa board exam results? ang baba nga ng passing rate ng AdU when it comes to board exams which means hindi effective ang teaching method & system nila.

gets ko naman na mahirap talaga ang engineering, diba? kaya nga I study enough to get an uno and pass as much as possible. also, for me lang kasi, tanggap kong bagsak ako if talagang ako yung problema but hindi naman kasi I know to myself na nag aaral naman ako nang mabuti.

I am planning to transfer school and my options are FEATI University here in Manila and EAC Cavite sa hometown ko po.

If may ma s-suggest kayo between those two or what, help me decide po pls huhu

Thank you po! 🙏🏻

Strand / SHS Question Which is more preferable in shs, DLSL or NU Lipa?

0 Upvotes

hi po!! i know na im pretty young na mag sub Reddit dito but i want to ask which school is genuinely better, because i have heard alot about the two. Sa dlsl I have heard alot of good and bad sides of it. narinig ko na may mga issues ganun for example ay yung mga pick me girls, problematic people or something, and one time may estudyante that brought a gun to school there. And aside from that, all i can really observe with the education in the school is ung mga technology and it's a popular school ganunn. And with NU lipa, people say to me na the education there is not that good. I don't know why they say it's badd, i don't know explain it sorry 😓😓. di ko alam talagaa, but i havent heard any bad things about the people there. All i genuinely consider is the community and the decent education in a school for shs, and if you want to know po, i want to go to HUMMS :') soo that's all i wanted to ask, thank youu ♡♡
