Current second year student here, and my goodness do I feel so behind. I plan to start studying religiously for the UP LAE come summer, I even have a study plan in mind, but seeing all the stories about how strict admissions have gotten recently is quite demoralizing! Wdym 350 lang mga successful passers 💔? All these people who are swimming with accolades, Latin honor graduates from the Big 4, studied rigorously themselves for the UP LAE, and they still didn't make the cut. Paano naman ako? Hahahahayyyy
I couldn't get into the Diliman campus when I took the UPCAT, so I settled for a different Big 4 University. Frankly, UPD has always been my dream school. It felt like my world collapsed two years ago, opening the portal, and seeing a successful admission for a different campus. Time passed and I decided I'd do law school in UPD instead. Now, in retrospect, I wish I started studying last summer. I got too complacent. I'm wayyyy too behind, all things considered!
So ayun. Demoralizing as it is, lock in malala talaga na may halong malupitang manifestation ang kailangan. Good luck to us future UP LAE takers :)
