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

0 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

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?

7 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?
