I’m currently choosing between UERM and FEU-NRMF for Nursing, and I’m planning to pursue Medicine afterward with the goal of getting into top med schools like UPCM or UST-FMS.

I just wanted to ask which school might give me a better advantage in terms of GWA or grading system, quality of clinical exposure, preparation for NMAT, and overall academic foundation.

Also, which of the two has a better track record when it comes to students getting accepted into top med schools?

I’d really appreciate hearing from current students or graduates from either school. Thank you!

I passed in University of the Philippines Diliman with BA Anthropology. The problem is, I don’t really like the program. My plan is to try a qualifier’s appeal, and if that doesn’t work (or if it’s not available), I’m willing to wait a year and then shift into a more medicine-related course like Biology or Psychology. After that, I plan to go to med school, gain experience here in the Philippines, and eventually work abroad.

On the other hand, my family wants me to study nursing in Germany. I know the advantages: through Ausbildung, I can get paid while studying, it only takes about 3 years, and I can work as a nurse right after. But my issue is the course itself—I don’t think I actually like nursing. Also, I can’t shift courses there like I can in UP. Plus, studying in UP feels really meaningful to me on a personal level, while going to Germany for nursing feels a bit empty or forced.

So now I’m stuck.

Am I missing something important about the Germany path? Is it smarter to just take that opportunity, even if I’m not passionate about nursing? Or should I pursue what I really want, which is studying in UP and aiming for medicine later on?

I’d really appreciate practical advice, especially from people who’ve experienced either path.
