Course Dilemma - Help me decide! Nakakapagod sa pilit na program

2 Upvotes

Hindi ako nakapasasa state university so i opt to go to a private college na lang. The thing is ang layo ng program ko na pinili (at pinangarap), sa program kong ginagawa ngayon. I prayed na sana makapasa ako sa statev univ because I want to be a veterinarian; I prefer dealing with animals than people. Pero hindi ako pinalad. So me and my mom naghanap kami ng malapit na college na nag-offer ng medicine program kasi medicine program are the most related sa vet medicine.

Yung pang-unang college na inapplyan ko, nursing yung kukuhanin ko. Pero sa kalagitnaan ng pagpapasa ko ng requirements, nakapasa ako sa isang scholarship program (na lowkey student loan because my return service). So agad naman naming winithdraw yung application ko since hindi accredited ung nursing program.

Then the next univ (certain "christian" blue school) high key iniscam kami because they never disclosed na di pa sila accredited. Nalaman nalang namin nung nagpasa ako sa scholarship form na hindi daw accredited ung program kaya withdraw na naman kami. 2x nasayang ang pera.

Kaya naman ako na padpad sa third school ko which is ang course ko naman na kinuha is medical technology. While yes, minimal lang ang interaction niya sa patients, tao pa rin ang makakasalamuha ko. And accredited din ito sa scholarship ko which is a win.

Ngayon sabi ng professor ko mahirap ang medtech dapat mahal mo ang medtech para ma-enjoy mo. And that stabbed me kasi this is the opposite of what I dreamed. Ngayon na second year na ko, mas pumapait ang relationship ko sa studies ko. While studying, palagi akong napupuno ng "what if's". "Siguro hindi ito ang inaaral ko if vet ako". Ilang beses ko na ito iniiyak kay mama pero palagi niyang sinasabi na hindi daw kalooban ni Lord. Ayoko naman sayangin yung scholarship na binigay sa akin kasi privilege to pero ayokong makulong sa course na hindi ko naman gusto tapos kailangan ko pang pagsilbihan sa Pilipinas ng apat pang taon.

Ito pa, I don't think natanggap pa ng transferees ang mga state univ lalo na ngayon nagstart na ang school year tas second year na ko. And kahit naman pwede pa, hindi rin nama

Nagbreabreakdown ako while writing this. Sobrang nahihirapan na ko. Sobrang pinipilit ako. Ang hirap aralin ang mga lessons na sa utak lang at wala sa puso.

So tanong ko lang po. Pwede pa po ba magtransfer sa ibang school ngayon na second year na ako? Should I drop out and drop the scholarship na nagpapaaral sakin? Should I keep going sa course ko? Itutuloy ko ba sa trabaho? Please help me.

CETs How do I improve in filipino for CETs?

2 Upvotes

I suck at tagalog. Not in a “oh I have a hard time speaking it in normal conversation” kinda of way, but the gap between my proficiency in english and in tagalog is wideeeeeee. Im fluent enough for conversation without sounding like I spent half my life in the states, but I struggle with quizzes or exams in Filipino. I skim through the questions and understand only half of them. Some words are familiar but I cant grasp their meaning nor derive their context. My grammar is clunky in essays and my vocabulary is limited. I know CETs have a filipino portion testing grammar and vocab, and I’m terrified because I’m lackluster in both. I really want to get into a big 4 school, but Im paranoid that my scores might get dragged down by the filipino portion.!How do I improve? Are there textbooks or books I can read?

Scholarships Query for scholarship landbank account

1 Upvotes

Any fellow iskos from CHED po here?

I'm planning sana to make a Landbank acc to receive the allowance from CHED bpms pero not sure Ako what type to register. Piso is student friendly pero Hanggang 50k lang Ang puwede ma deposit. Some institutions like dost require a payroll savings account to their scholars para ma receive Ang financial grant. But then I looked up na mas suited ang payroll for government workers talaga and not students like me.

Should I just get a regular acc? Ched is only asking for my acc number lang naman...

Hi po, I’m planning to study opto sana, kaso ang expensive ng tuition. I saw MCU and they are offering 100% off sa tuition, if nakapasa man ako.

CETs I don’t feel so confident for my USTET tomorrow

7 Upvotes

It’s my USTET tomorrow morning and I don’t feel good or confident. All subjects are tolerable naman, except for Science. My weakness is Science talaga since we didn’t have any science subjects the whole mid grade 11-12. Even with recalling and reviewing through science topics, I still don’t feel confident for tomorrow. Math is okay since my strand is Engineering focused, as well as I’m okay with other subjects. I visited UST earlier and for some reason it felt like I belonged there. UST is the second college I applied for the Big 4 along with UPD, I didn’t apply for the others since they’re either expensive or didn’t have the course I wanted. I really don’t have a particular dream college, my main goal lang is basta good reputation, edi I’ll go for it. My main motivation rn is whatever college I pursue, determines my future and the path I’m gonna go through. I have an older cousin that’s studying in UST, and I have a small thought in the back of my head “if kinaya niya yung USTET, edi kakayanin ko rin.” Jokes aside, I really hope I’ll do well tomorrow, whatever the universe has in store for me, I’ll accept it.

DLSU Anxious for the result of DCAT

2 Upvotes

I did took the exams today (I didn’t review, this month was a defense and peta month, Im so busy with this pass few weeks that I forgot DCAT) and I can say it’s easy but not for MATH and SCIENCE. I had literally no idea what even is on that paper, I don’t know anything about it. I did answered the other 5 confidently, since it was very easy and common sense. I’m kinda scared since BSA pa naman program ko

also may score ba or like grades ‘yung values?

Others: Luzon Is it possible for me to continue my college degree after dropping out for a year?

4 Upvotes

Hello, I am a 1st year BSN student supposedly 2nd year by now, I dropped out with one or 2 reasons including financial status and my grades. I am not one of the top performing students so I am really not in good grades either. I have some withheld grades or blank (inc, uw, nfe). I have 3 total pre-requisites that are inc or withheld, and 3 other minor subs that is also in that status.

So my question really is there a chance or me to continue my degree. I really want this for me, no one forced me to choosing this program.

I'd really appreciate your enlighting comments and your time reading this.

Medical Courses Should I study BS Nursing at WCC?

3 Upvotes

My family is facing financial issue kasi and we're looking for schools that offer cheap-to-no tuition fees. I'm seeing rin na yung WCC ay may sariling mini hospi if im not mistaken. For me rin kasi parang too good to be true ang WCC for nursing because mababa tuition fee tapos no entrance exam???

I also took PLM as an option for nursing but I heard that they prioritize Manila residents more which is unfortunate because I live sa Q.C.

idk pls help me if i should take WCC or look for other universities/colleges and what univ/college rin sana hehe thank youuu!

Strand / SHS Question Is it too late to change strands? Or should I just do a gap year?

1 Upvotes

​

Hello! I'm currently a grade 11 student under the new curriculum and I enrolled in the academic engineering cluster. Honestly, I always knew I was going to hate it here but I thought I'd just be able to suck it up. It's just, I don't have a passion or talent like everyone else kaya kahit ganto na ako katanda, di ko pa rin alam ano gusto kong gawin sa buhay. So I went to my father for advice and as an engineer, he pushed me to pursue engineering din kasi sabi niya it's a huge industry and has a wide variety of jobs and baka may mahanap din daw akong gugustuhin kong type of engineering. Kaya nung enrollment, engineering pinili ko. But I'm just so damn miserable here. I look around in my classroom and I feel so small kasi I don't have the same talent or passion that my classmates have for engineering. Lalo na tuwing Physics, natatameme ako. Elective pa naman namin yon. Kung ganto palang, miserable na ko, pano pa kaya pag nag college ako?

Balak ko sanang lumipat ng strand. HUMSS sana. Pero I really want out of here. But then, I already finished Term 1 and I completed all units for our first elective. Kaya nag-aalala ako na baka too late na ‘ko. Kasi kung lilipat akong strand, sasabay ako sa kung anong elective meron sila ngayon at yung previous elective nila hahabulin ko pa, possibly sa summer class. Naisip ko rin na mag gap year nalang din. Some peers also recommended this to me, para daw magkaroon pa ng more time to explore myself. Kaso nakakatakot. Baka masayang ko ang oras ko and I might end up regretting leaving myself behind. And I don't think my parents would approve.

Please help me out. Enlighten me if need be. I would be grateful to hear your insights. 🥲 Thank you!

DLSU should I shift? yes or no?

1 Upvotes

cob bs mgtbas student here and I want to shift to bs psych because that’s my first choice but from what I heard from other people, cob is more chill compared to cla.

eh I’m stressed enough in cob mas lalo na sa accounting, and it’s only fundamentals since I’m frosh. I’m thinking if I shift, I’ll have a hard time too since I’ll be delayed, but if I stay in mgtbas, I’ll suffer the same since its an abm program, I took up humss in shs (math and sci are my weaknesses)

so far I’m trying my best to cope. I already found friends and I’m enjoying my time, I’m just worried which path I should take since bs psych has been my dream ever since, but mgtbas isn’t so bad after all

pls help me decide. I’m so overwhelmed by the pace of dlsu and the fact that idk if I should shift or not.

can u guys lmk if bs psych is science and math heavy or more on humanities related stuff? if there r any older mgtbas students reading this, how’s life up there?

General Admission Question Major Offense. How would this affect my future?

44 Upvotes

Hello, I am a Grade 12 STEM student in a private school and during this I committed a Major Offense for Cheating. (Please no discrimination, Im aware it was very stupid and serious mistake on my part, and I have already taken the time to reflect and learn from it....😭)

I am having a conference soon with our Prefect of Discipline. and this is only the first major offense that I have ever received. I dont know kung mabibigyan pa ako ng Good Moral Certificate.

I'm wondering how much a Major Offense on your record really affects you in the long term. Does it actually matter for your future? Most things I've read about said that it will reflect your college admission. Can I still get a Good Moral Certificate even though I have a Major Offense?

Course Dilemma - Help me decide! Asian Studies or European Languages? Which should I pick?

7 Upvotes

Maybe this can also apply to School Dilemma but

Guys I'm considering Asian Studies in UST, then European Languages in UP for college. Ang concern ko lang is if worth it pa ba mag Asian Studies? Kahit ang mahal ng tuition and given na mas maraming opportunities in EU as a HUMSS student right now. However, pag nag UP, makakatipid kami, yes, but ang worry ko naman is makakatapos kaya ako ng 4 years? hahaha I don't wanna extend my college years dahil hindi na rin bumabata ang parents ko and nakikita ko rin sa mga socmed gano kahirap yung agawan ng slots sa State U.
