Freshman ako sa UE (Caloocan) katatapos ko lang mag-enroll today (May 2026, probably summer/1st sem). Na-pressure kasi ako and ended up with CWTS for NSTP. Pero gusto ko mag-ROTC instead—kaya ko pa ba 'to palitan? TYIA

I'm currently planning to apply for the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) program, and I'm considering both the University of the East (UE) Caloocan and UE Manila campuses.

Specifically, I'd like to know — is the BSA slot at UE has a limited number of slots available for incoming students, and once those slots are filled, that's it? Or is it more of a first-come, first-served situation where the slots simply run out very quickly because of high demand?

It would really help to know if one campus tends to fill up faster than the other, so I can plan my application timeline accordingly.

With that in mind, I wanted to reach out to this community to get some clarity on something that's been on my mind lately.

Hi! I'm an incoming BSA college student and I am currently stuck between two schools, and the stress is actually getting to me na.

So here's the situation. University of the East (UE) costs around 12k per month on installment, which is already a stretch for our family. However, I have 5 scholarships pointed there, so if even one or two push through, the cost becomes very manageable. On top of that, it's only one fare from our house, which adds up in the long run.

The problem though is that UE's enrollment runs from May 7 to May 30, and they require original documents upon enrollment. Yung Form 137, good moral certificate, lahat ng original. Here's where it gets complicated — my scholarship results, both for UE and NU, won't come out until June. So I would have to submit my irreplaceable documents before even knowing if I got a scholarship. Otherwise, baka mawalan ako ng slot.

On the other hand, National University (NU) has a Blue Scholarship that covers full tuition, which sounds amazing. However, that result also comes in June. NU runs on a trimestral setup at 20k per sem, so roughly 60k a year without a scholarship. It also requires two fares daily compared to UE's one, so the hidden costs are real.

Now, the good news is that UE only requires a down payment to hold a slot, not the full amount upfront. So financially, we can manage that part. The real issue is still the original documents na kailangan nila agad.

To summarize my dilemma:

- Enroll in UE now, risk submitting originals before scholarship results, and potentially lose those documents if things don't work out

- Wait for June results, but possibly lose my slot in both schools entirely

- My dad hasn't fully confirmed if we can sustain 12k/month without a scholarship

Honestly, the hardest part is na hindi ko alam kung paano protektahan yung documents ko habang nag-aantay ng scholarship results. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you find a way to negotiate with admissions? Any advice would mean a lot.

TL;DR: UE enrollment ends May 30 and needs original documents now, but scholarship results for both UE and NU come out in June. Risking my documents before knowing results is scary, but waiting might mean losing my slot entirely. Torn between the two and looking for advice.
