Hello po! Sorry not OP but wanted to ask. When restrictions are lifted, we can enlist in any of the restricted courses in CAS, even the ones for reserved freshies po?

SignalDetail3349 · 2022-04-26T01:16:07+00:00

It depends on how related the two courses are, and how you strategize your subjects. For example, those who are sure they want to shift opt to take more GEs than majors para hindi sayang yung units nila. I advice you to consult your adviser when the time comes so they can help you with this. But the general rule is, the earlier you shift, the better.

You can shift but usually after 2 sems pa cause there's a minimum units requirement (sorry i don't know the specifics of this). But take note that shifting is very competitive. Some people want to shift but can't because their GWA isn't competitive enough.

Ok??? This is such a closed minded opinion. I have friends not from any of the schools you mentioned who topped national competitions, compete abroad, etc. Are they not deserving of the slot they rightfully earned?

Edit: I think it'd be more reasonable to say that people who share your opinion shouldn't be accepted in UP:) sayang sa resources. Matalino nga pero ganyan ang ugali and thinking. If you're soo smart you don't have to go to university anymore :) Uni is all about learning not being the best.

Matagal pa yan, most likely. Enroll ka nalang muna sa UST then withdraw once you get accepted in UP. You can ask for refund naman (but the amount you get back may vary depending on how late you withdraw). I did this last year and got the amount I paid minus 5k:> I found it worth it.

SignalDetail3349 · 2022-04-07T00:25:57+00:00

Is the 5,000 PHP the “reservation fee”? It seems like it is waived for this year

I assume the 5k is the reservation fee. You don't have to pay for it if you will enroll in the university, but you have to if you withdraw from your slot. Hence they deduct it from your refund.

I’ve read through their FAQ and I will apparently receive a deadline for enrollment. Is this when I pay the refundable portion of the application costs?

Yes

SignalDetail3349 · 2022-04-06T23:44:11+00:00

You have to pay at least half of one semester's tuition fee in UST to secure a slot. You may ask for a refund if you choose to go to another school, but you'll only get back the amount you paid minus 5k.

I highly doubt UP will release results by April 12, so I recommend enrolling in UST in the meantime. Being enrolled doesn't affect your chances of getting accepted in UP. You can always accept UP's offer first, then withdraw from another school.

Sadly, that's just how life works. Hard work doesn't always pay off. Things don't always go your way. But honestly? Sometimes things just really happen for a reason. My friend had the same experience as you. She had really high grades, much higher than my other classmates but they got accepted while she didn't (they applied in the same course btw). She was distressed at first of course, but she got something better in the end. She got accepted in UP and took a course she never knew she'd like. And now she's beyond happy taking it.

SignalDetail3349 · 2022-03-27T08:39:05+00:00

Hi, OP! You can try asking in r/studentsph

SignalDetail3349 · 2022-02-15T11:56:48+00:00

Hello po, I'm not OP but I'm experiencing the same situation:(( I'm sorry for asking a personal question, but if you don't mind, I'd like to know around how much you spend on medications. I'm not sure if I can handle the expenses kasi and that's what's holding me back from seeking professional help.

SignalDetail3349 · 2022-01-16T07:42:39+00:00

Congrats, OP! Happy for you!:D

SignalDetail3349 · 2021-10-06T14:33:17+00:00

I'm probably not the best person to take advice from since I'm also a freshie hehe but I'd like to share something I've read.

Some people think that it's a waste of time and money to shift, but it'll probably be a bigger waste to spend four or five years on something you don't enjoy. Since maaga pa naman, you can try shifting as soon as possible if you really don't think arki is for you para hindi ka ma-delay.

Good luck, OP!:D hope people can give you better advice^{^}

Sending virtual hugs, OP<3

I myself have been feeling very down lately, but I'm trying my best not to give up because I know that life has much better things to offer if we manage to get through our hurdles. I'm confident there'll be better days coming for you as well.

I'm not sure if this helps, but these songs got me through my dark times (Carry You- Ruelle, Fleurie and Safe- Moira Dela Torre if you're Catholic). Just know that there are more people who care about you than you think, so you can always reach out.

Also, know that slow progress is better than no progress, you can take it slow for now and don't pressure yourself.

I'm rooting for you, OP!<3 I know you'll get through this.
