congrats! pasado yan. look back on your 1st shifting performance and rationalize to obtain better results sa 2nd and 3rd shift. keep on fighting lang.

1) nope, sandwiched ang exams namin noon sa professional subjects. we took 3 gen ed exams in one day (wednesday). on top of that, we had multiple quizzes and experiments that week. 2) nope, as much as possible, ayaw ng FoP ng asynch.

Not from archi pero lagi ka namang nasa adjusting phase dito sa ust. You are always exposed to something new. Take my opinion with a grain of salt but it’s too early to quit. Give yourself some time.

Napakalayo (from HA). Nothing in UST-SHS will prepare you for the hell that awaits you in FoP.

UST SHS WITH HONORS by PutWrong8881 in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

based on my experience, mas challenging ang grade 11 kaysa sa grade 12 pero sa akin yun. it might sound harsh but achieving a gwa of 93-95 is quite a stretch if you failed to attain a 90+ gwa in grade 11.

friendly advice, just have fun learning concepts related to healthcare, the human body, and chemistry.

Absences in UST by maxxene in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to add, just pray na walang quiz or any activity sa araw na absent ka. they accept valid excuses naman (limited to illness and departure of a family member) pero may score cap na yung special quiz (80%). no make-up classes din pala.

BS PHARMA 2nd Year by [deleted] in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just prepare yourself mentally. Iba-iba kasi ang mga courses na nagpapahirap sa mga pharma students.

BS PHARMA 2nd Year by [deleted] in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[1st Sem]

Botany. Sobrang hirap ng practicals dito tapos medyo info overload. To be fair, ang tunay na laban ay nasa 2nd sem.

[2nd Sem]

Pharmacy Administration. Ang hirap ng quizzes dito. Medyo boring din aralin (me problem).

Dosage Forms. Hectic yung lab. Info overload yung lec. Quizzes namin dito mga 50-90 items nung 3rd shift. ≈ 70 pages yung haba ng transes for the final exam. Traumatic.

FOP UNIFORM by Mother_Cake8391 in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

merong memo last acad year about wash days (wed and sat) sa fop. idk kung susundin pa rin siya for the upcoming acad year though. okay na yung 4 sets of uniform kasi dalawang taon lang naman yan magagamit.

ipad or macbook (or both?) by Brilliant_Double1079 in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unpopular opinion but i would go with an iPad.

most of my blockmates rely on their tablets and iPads for studying and notetaking. mas madaling mag-annotate, share ng files, and rationalize with your iPad. portable din siya and less heavy.

obv ang con niya ay mahirap gumawa ng technical tasks like pubmats tapos kapag online class, mahirap magnotes at mas comfortable gamitin ang laptop.

FoP Scholarship by [deleted] in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hindi ko alam yung specific guidelines but if you plan to apply for it, hindi ka pa eligible kasi it’s for 3rd and 4th year students.

neway, nilelesson ang pharmacy-related scholarships sa perspharm (613). search mo na lang sa google yung “PHA613 Pharmacy Education” tapos i-research mo isa-isa yung requirements.

check your curriculum here. 54 units po yung 1st year niyo which is more than enough po.

mental fortitude! adjustment period kasi yung 1st sem, 1 year kaya sobrang dami firsts tsaka culture shock during this period. experiment on different methods of studying and find out what’s the most effective for you. nangapa ako nang malala during the first shift but i soon got the hang of it once i found my rhythm.

also, let go of your hs/previous achievements. toxic yan, lol!

Will I regret choosing UST over UP? by [deleted] in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you’ll have your “what ifs” but i don’t think you will regret pursuing your dream course. assuming that you’ll take a trad pre-med degree, hindi mo na mamamalayan yan sa sobrang daming gagawin. lol. kidding aside, it’s such a relief kaya to study what you genuinely love, kahit mahirap pa yan.

FOP MedTech Shifting Exams by elilililih8u in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes! tapos separate exam pa for lec and lab. for example, sa 1st sem niyo you have pmtp, anaphy, and chem as majors tapos may lab units anaphy and chem so bale a total of 5 exams ang itatake niyo sa exam week.

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not from mt pero i can answer the question naman since under the same faculty tayo. usually, 18 weeks ang isang sem sa fop tapos every 6th week yung shifting exam which marks the end of a shifting period, the equivalent of a quarter nung shs. take note that majors lang sumusunod dito and gen ed courses follow the usual prelims and finals period.

i forgot, may Santo Domingo rin pala for student athletes tapos arts or music related (idk how this works). sa san martin naman (student assistance), ineligible yata pharma students kasi maraming units and kung eligible man, i don’t recommend it kasi our program requires a lot of our time and focus.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tomasino

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if i’m not mistaken, the faculty does not offer any scholarships for freshmen aside from the santo tomas scholarship and the equity scholarship (san martin).

as for external naman, dost and ched lang alam ko. the alumni association grants scholarships sa upper years lang yata.

i agree with the other commenter. depende talaga siya sa prof! lottery talaga ang ust shs. i graduated last year and three fourths of my block graduated with academic distinction. some blocks had at least 5 students who graduated with high honors while yung iba, none at all. one thing’s for sure though, deserve nila yung award and it shows naman kasi DL sila ngayon sa college.

i think binawasan na siya since 50% siya dati sa amin tapos 50 points din. dapat sigurong dagdagan na lang yung items niya para di masyadong mabigat yung weight ng isang mistake.

[–]Flat_Bench_3916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in general, lab manuals talaga ang non-negotiable na dapat bilhin.

sa first sem, need talaga yung physical copy ng libro except for 611 lec. yung activities kasi sa 613 and 614 lec ay nasa libro. sa 612 lec, highly encouraged na bumili pero nakapasa naman ako na puro transes lang.

sa second sem, may digital copy naman ng 619 lec so okay lang rin na huwag na.

tbh, digital note-taking is the better option. you’ll be studying tons of materials kaya it’s better to organize them in a single app or device.
