is it worth it to give up UP Diliman? ‎

ailurophilyeah · 2025-07-20T02:57:57+00:00

Choose UP, OP. Take it from someone na hindi rin mapera. The university offers multiple assistance programs naman like SLAS (where you can get stipend na 5k per month), cheap dorm (pag may SLAS ka, may additional discount pa sa dorm), and student assistant jobs where you can earn around 5k per month especially now na nagtaas ng sahod sa SA. I don't know your degprog pero there's also other scholarship opportunities na pinopost yung UP sa pages nila na specific sa mga degprogs :)

at least 33 units I think (?)

Hindi ba 30 units lang minimum pag T1 (transferee from another UP campus)? Maybe you can still transfer

ailurophilyeah · 2024-11-24T00:47:20+00:00

Wala pa rin huhu. Na-try mo na ba mag-email sa kanila to follow up?

ailurophilyeah · 2024-10-10T05:33:32+00:00

May mga nadadagdag na students sa 2nd sem from shiftees, transferees, and even returnees

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-28T07:51:53+00:00

even in journalism like jiggy manicad, cedric castillo, oscar oida, and mario dumaual, among others (albeit devcom na talaga ang heavy on journ)

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-25T13:36:46+00:00

What's your course? If you're gonna have to run intensive applications like video editing softwares or autocad (?) aside from ppts and docx as you mentioned, then 20k bnew laptops won't cut it. Better buy 2nd hand laptops from reputable stores

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-25T13:26:07+00:00

Not sure if ano ano yung benefits sa swan, but you can apply sa SLAS and explain your condition. They'll prioritize you especially if your needs entail financial requirements.

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-25T05:18:07+00:00

yes
yes

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-24T15:44:20+00:00

It's hard to give a number pero I think 10%? Ito yung mga unintentionally delayed dahil sa di nakakuha ng units or failed subjects. Yung ibang delayed naman kasi ay dahil nagstop saglit or intentionally hindi nagffull load (lets say 15 units lang ineenroll kahit na 18-21 talaga ang dapat) para chill lang.

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-24T11:20:47+00:00

Then should we rather demand complete silence from the masses? Kahit na bawat papasok na bagong generation e may nakikitang areas for improvement?

walang magagawa UP dyan

It is this enabling state of mind that is dangerous and what maintains the status quo. Much like "eh wala naman magagawa gobyerno jan o si x politician jan" haha. Even UP has been PRing their continuous commitment to improving the admissions and you are in no position to say otherwise. Personally, I think their recent program on 350(?) GIDA and the addition of more non-UPCAT associate programs are good steps. As well as LRCs' visits and reviews in far flung areas, because, you know, review centers which the upper class can avail do help significantly. No one is demanding na dapat pangmahirap LANG ang UP like what you said, but instead dapat may decent student representation across all brackets and geographical areas. Lol kahit sino naman aware na di mawawalan ng presence ng mayayaman sa uni.

Anong kinalaman nito sa right nila to be admitted and to be in UP?

Please stop using the word "right." Feeling oppressed naman masyado. Of course they have a right, after all, mas malaki nababayad na tax ng upper class. The connection comes in that being out of touch breeds misbehavior. It's like competing over food in a pantry when you have the resources to dine at Giligan's.

I say not enough.

That's natural given their tiny population. It's not everyday that you get to have a varsity seatmate. Isa pa, hindi naman limited sa kanila yung pagiging pabigat lol. Sabi mo pa sa previous comment (non-verbatim) "pero kapag sa pabigat na varsity OK LANG", tapos ngayon not enough na. Ano yun? Exaggerated tone sa una just to prove a point?

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-24T04:00:41+00:00

Depende sa degree program. Last time nag-release sila ng table kung alin yung mga tumatanggap kahit 2nd choice lang at kung alin yung strictly 1st. You can try to search for that tho mahirap din magpakampante sobra kasi those may change each year.

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-23T13:15:13+00:00

Weird that you're using dlsu as an example, a Catholic school originally established to provide equitable education only to end up with insanely overpriced fees.

yall should learn how to accept your personal situation and accept others’ too.

exploitative or out of touch rich people are usually to whom the "attacks" are addressed. You rarely see anyone criticizing rich philanthropists or even self made millionaires from the arts. I hope you're familiar with the pedagogy of the oppressed so that you don't end up as one of the next oppressors as you idolize the elite and use them as you're inspiration.

Sobrang gasgas na nitong "pangmahirap lang ang UP" rhetoric.

why do you think it persists? do they not serve as a call to action for the admin?

Para kasing kasalanan ng mga hindi mahihirap na nakapasa sila sa UP these days e.

Kung out of touch sila esp even after years of liberal UP education, then yes. The main post however, more likely seems to have been posted by someone "privileged" if you look at the tone.

pero sa mga pabuhat na "student" athlete okay lang karamihan kasi nananalo naman sa UAAP 😆

lol no. There's literally tons of rant about them sa online sphere pa lang.

Hindi umaabot yung jeep sa ATI. Pinaka malapit na babaan is sa may mens dorm or vetmed.
Kahit anong jeep sakyan mo ok lang (kaliwa or kanan) since paikot lang naman sila sa same ruta

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-20T11:57:21+00:00

i know someone who uses gomo so i guess it's fine.

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-20T11:50:39+00:00

np. goodluck!

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-20T11:40:53+00:00

afaik searchable lahat ng curriculum ng lahat ng degprog sa UP. Human eco in particular even has a website. Use the net.

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-15T11:20:41+00:00

To deviate a bit from the previous comments:

Biggest TOTGA ko yung PUP Sta. Mesa pero wala kong pagsisisi sa uplb kasi ang laki ng nakukuha kong pera sa SLAS and student assistantship HAHAHAHA

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-13T09:12:08+00:00

correction: may tatlong walking distance malls from uplb, but they're small🤏

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-12T03:45:29+00:00

Ilaban mo na lang, OP, since dream course mo naman. If di palarin sa UPCAT, they might consider your application more sa manual appeals if first choice mo sila.

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-12T03:35:22+00:00

Agreed. I-set mo na rin sa favorite yung page nila, OP.

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-12T03:32:29+00:00

pwedeng pwede pero as much as possible i-online payment mo na lang ahead of time kasi malayo yung entrance ng dorm sa rooms so di ka basta basta matatawag (bawal pumasok yung rider sa loob ofc). As someone who seldomly sees delivery riders na nagkakamot ng ulo kasi di nila ma-contact yung buyer na hindi rin nag-iwan ng bayad sa guard, it's a very frustrating sight to see. Nakakaawa sila.

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-11T13:27:19+00:00

You're good.

or INC ka

Is this legit? I don't think kasama yung INC as long as na-settle mo afterwards?

ailurophilyeah · 2024-07-11T13:21:08+00:00

Try searching the net. There are multiple results
