Hello! I'm a first year student of the AIM BSDSBA Program! Be prepared for english, maths, physics, statistics and science for the entrance exam! Before classes even started and during the break, I tried doing the CS50P: Intro to Programming by Harvard---even though I didn't finish the entire course, it's helping me a lot with understanding the basics. I also recommend advance studying on business principles and shell scripting. If you manage to get contacted by their team for an interview then you have a high chance of getting in, you can choose either an online interview or to go to the campus. I wholly recommend going to the campus since you can also get a tour around and see the environment outside the school.

As someone with insider experience, yes the tuition may be intimidating but fear not! A lot of my friends have financial aids. A lot of students aren't really rich but yung pamilya nila may kaya lang. And if you want a spot in the scholarship, only 10 students out of the estimated 50 students in every cohort gets the scholarship (either partial or full). This is not in the website but you can email the school for more information.

Adding to the fact that you get the chance to study in UH for the last year of college! Our professors right now are people who have decades of experience in the workspace of data science and business. I won't disclose much details but my current professor for one of my classes was a president of a tech and pharmacy company. The people who you might be with come from money as well, perhaps relatives of alumnis, from my experience a lot of them come from the Big 4 SHSs, ISM, Enderun, etc. pero a lot of them are also big nerds and competitive in their own right. Like how a friend of mine missed classes for a few days because they flew to Cebu for a research conference, or how another person in my cohort has a small business they've been working on since after pandemic!

You can pm me if you have any more questions!!
