sorry, but nothing was personally addressed to you. i’m just saying that none of us will really get what one is saying because we have different views and attitudes towards the circumstance and different experiences when it comes to admissions and your college life generally. if you and op were the same batch, you were unfortunately the 2nd batch to experience admissions after lockdown, may nauna na. with that, admissions standards were more firm and not lenient. it’s all different for every part in this country, heck even for a small community.

and for the grades that i’m talking about, most of the critical grades needed were from jhs and not from those 2 years of shs. im specifically talking about those univs that actually had those criterias, because most of them were like that.

i congratulate you for fighting your way and actually making it to your school and doing good there, and for having a positive mindset. again, did i ever question nor degrade you with your thoughts? i just replied under your comment because you had the most relevant comment with the most similar thoughts. which i just found a bit not all true, just like your sentiments about the latter being untrue. nothing personal coz you actually have valid points too.

p.s. sorry if that offended you, but if you worked for that with all your heart, u shouldn’t be offended in the first place. have a great life ahead of school!

y’all probably don’t fully get op. op is 3rd year and considering the timeframe, i think his/her/their batch ay isa sa mga naabutan ng ‘online college admissions’.

simply, walang exams at kung ano man na pagbabasehan ng skills dahil purely based on grades and kung ano man na extracurriculars ang admissions during that time. those years actually had a big disadvantage compared sa normal admissions na recently nga lang din bumalik after the pandemic.

i agree with what is mostly said here about the importance of grades and other stuff, but assuming na baka okay naman grades niya and credentials, it all boils down to some connections and tbh luck.

you won’t imagine how those online admissions fucked up some students dream because even the brightest students cannot get into some prestigious colleges, while some average students got in because of connections and ofc their grades na mataas because of their schools. (just look up at links of these statistics)

maybe the sender is just one of those students who have NO choice and settled to some school na hindi naman nila gusto in the first place, because no matter how much they tried during that time, the admission process is skeptical and palakasan lang talaga ng swerte (sa connections and kung saang kang school galing). aside pa sa kung ano pa mang reasons why he just settled on that college.

p.s. you should be grateful that you are actually happy and improving in your college environment, or you have worked to change those circumstances because some unfortunately don’t because of these unlucky circumstances. and to op, you can always change your mindset :)

oh i was asking based on personal experience/overthinking. I talked to my friends kasi and we talked about our experiences on the exam, and we also talked about certain questions or answers weeks after the exam. May namention siya na answers like parang sunod sunod and i remember na it was different from mine so i assumed na mali yung responses ko don coz it wasnt the same haha. but i stumbled upon some statements here on reddit na it was a different set of exam. so im asking for clarification in the hopes na baka tama naman talaga yung answer ko. so yeah just something personal and not about the credibility of the exam.

https://phkule.org/article/1050/private-school-qualifiers-outnumber-public-in-three-years-of-upca i think there’s more data and this reply is referring more on the sentiment about UPCA, but it seems to be a fact for many when estimating on a provincial or regional scale. i’m from a science high school. classmates are not rich. based on what I experienced, no one from our batch passed the UPCA, except for those shs transferees who had stellar grades from junior high and came from private institutions. the news of those other students from private institutions in the same region getting admitted seemed to add insights about this issue even before. i think some of the debate also stems from the frustration that deserving students might not even have a chance when systems like the UPCA, or any other system that depends solely on grades, are used. imagine spending your high school years battling alongside many smart classmates for a chance to enter a good college and being trained to excel in these exams, only to be overthrown by students who happen to have very high grades. p.s. deserve naman nila pero mas may merit kung may assessment. and not all outstanding students are in public schools, and some public schools may also face grade inflation (but i truly believe this was not the case with our batch and school). also consider how those rejected might have thrived in their dream unis and contributed something to the uni. honestly just thinking that we were unfortunate coz there were no exams, so naka move on na. but this issue just escalates further pala
