Genuinely, no one here knows what your chances are of getting in or being reconsidered for your desired course and program. Not even BS Stat students from different campuses can compute that probability.

The best you can do for now is pray if you believe in a god and hope for the best. Do not flood the sub with “What are my chances?” questions. Gets naman na you’re just looking for something to hold on to, pero baka mabigyan lang kayo niyan ng false hope at lalo lang kayong madisappoint if things don’t go in your favor.

Hi guys! PUMASA AKO SA UPCAT!

May nagshare din sakin ng link for a Discord server for UPD freshmen, it was just recently made. Inspired po ng discord na nakita nila previously before dito sa reddit din.

Let's all join this one po so we can get to know each other and share news about sa UP faster.

Ito yung discord invite link poo

hello po ates and kuyas! i wanted to ask abt student life ng mga bs ece in upd,, maayos po ba facilities? profs? kamusta po classes and classmates huhu

i passed both dlsu and upd for bs ece and hindi pa po ako makapili kung saan papasok, ang main ko po kasi na iniisip is if maganda po facilities and will i actually learn from the profs or self study ang need

if ikukumpara niyo po ang dlsu and upd for bs ece (electronics engineering), ano po sa tingin niyo mas maganda (w/o factoring in financial need & distance from school)

thank u po so much 🥹🫶

I didn’t get into my priority course (BSBAA) in UP Diliman and instead got into Philo. I want to pursue Accountancy as a pre-law—sure, Philo is also a good pre-law course too, however, it has less opportunities for me on its own and I don’t come from a rich background (I need to apply for the scholarship to study in DLSU). I’m shaking, I don’t know what to do because even though I know pursuing Accountancy is more beneficial for me in terms of practicality, my heart yearns for UPD—I have dreamt about being an Iska ever since I was young and have worked hard for all my life to make myself deserving of that title.

Hello, just a question regarding the VAAS Program

Hello, I am a student Powerlifter, and I recieved my UPCAT results this morning. I unfortunately did not pass, but I noticed that there was another way to get in UP which is the VAAS. However, I learned that the VAAS (according to my friend atleast), only accepts varsities and sports that compete in the UAAP. Unfortunately, my sport does not compete in the UAAP and I was not a varsity at my previous school. However, my sport does have interschool competitions as well as international competitions wherein I can represent UP in (which is apparently one of the requirements)

Heres a track record for me, hopefully UP can take my achievements into consideration

National Record in U93 HS Deadlift

3 Gold Medals in Separate Competitions

2 Silver Medals

Second Place in SBD PH Nationals

Competing Internationally in China This May, Representing the Philippines

Established a School Powerlifting Team, Which Won 1, (Supposed To Be 2, But We Didn't Get Any Awards Since Nobody Else Joined) Best High School Team in 2 Separate Competitions

Hi po! I got a 2.5 on my UPCAT, is it more possible po ba na I get into UPM? (All programs I applied for are BA/Socsci)

Bale saan po nakabase if mapapasa appeal ko? (slots or UPG etc.)

Thank you so much po!

First of all, congratulations to the UPCAT qualifiers! For many questions here lately such as "kaya pa ba ito i-recon?", "anong courses pa may available slots", and "paano mag-transfer to this campus+ course?", it's very telling why you didn't pass the UPCAT.

Kulang sa resourcefulness and patience to wait for concrete updates at umaasa sa isang forum na speculative lang at best ang advice. Most of your questions can be answered by Google (maybe except for the fluctuating cutoff score for the various degree programs).

Ginamit mo 'yan noong SHS, at nagka-honors ka pa nga most likely. So why stop using it?

Hey physics guy, pumasa ka ba?

For that physics guy that posted na he will definitely pass , pumasa ka ba?

parang dinelete nya yung post nya several months ago na very confident syang he will pass . just want to know if he did pass since results are out today,

hello! im a freshie from bs physics na may plan mag shift sa bs math. ito yung dilemma ko: I'll do math 23 in midyear (1) mag shift agad ako sa bs math next sem (2627-1) (2) stay in physics next sem, will take math 108, physics 116 then apply for VSO sa 2627-2 to take major subs in math then shift sa 2728-1

so in context, 108 kasi yung 'deciding factor' for math majors kung para sa math talaga sila, and phy116 naman yung para sa phys majors. currently, nahihirapan kasi ako sa physics 106 (fund. of physics 1) but i have above passing grades namin. i do love both in a sense when it comes to theoretical concepts...so im stuck whether shift agad kahit wala pa akong idea sa math 108(?) or do my 2nd option and it's the safer yet riskier choice?

kasi what if pag shift ko mahirapan din ako sa higher math courses? or what if sa physics naman pagdating ko na 3rd year hindi ko pala talaga gusto? yk grass is not always greener on the other side

Hello po I am grade 12 and I am planning on taking accountancy in another university for my first year.

2nd year I plan to shift to whatever UP campus offers accountancy and such for financial reasons.

I plan to try my hardest in my first year to make sure I can get into UP in the 2nd and remaining.

My questions are though:

1. ⁠Will I be an irregular student?

2. ⁠How many units/subjects will I have missed and have to make up for?

3. ⁠How hard is it being a transferee?

This is a call for a participant post, but before that, context muna hehe

I think in 2022 is when I heard the term quiet quitting, it was from a TikTok post, which defines quiet quitting, as not actually quitting/resigning from your job, but it's about a cynical approach to work life that encourages employees to not “go above and beyond” sa work. 

Kumbaga, not giving your all sa job mo, kasi nga the idea is working to live instead of living to work. I just find it interesting back then, kasi it reflects on how we should approach our work life, it reminds us na, we shouldn't be giving too much of ourselves to our work.

Ako, at that time, I resonated with the idea, kasi nung nag shift to WFH dahil sa pandemic, parang feeling ko nun, nawala na yung work life balance ko. Nung WFH, parang na normalized yung dapat available ka 24 hours, and somehow I felt, parang nawala yung boundary.

So going back dun sa quiet quitting, I won’t say that i was doing it, pero it felt like, nag ma-make sense naman, na we shouldn't be really be giving our full selves to work, because at the end of the day, employees lang naman tayo.

So ayun, my WFH pandemic burnout inspired a thesis:

Kayo ba, nag-quiet quitting din ba kayo? I hope you can share your experience! I am looking for participants who are:

• Willing to be interviewed online (1 to 1.5 hours)
• Age: 18 to 59 years old
• Experience: 1+ year of WFH or Hybrid setup
• Current/Past Status: Have experienced "Quiet Quitting"
• Location: Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, or Rizal

Token of Appreciation: I will provide 100 PHP via GCash as a small token for your time and to cover internet data/load expenses for the interview.

How to join: If you’re interested or have questions, please comment below or send me a DM. 

Maraming salamat, and I look forward to hearing your stories!

sana may university-wide directive na about modality of classes huhu most of my classes have shifted online kaso may isang class pa ako need pasukan na ftf (pe 💀💀) hayy gumagastos ako to attend a one hour class at di ako makauwi agad sa province namin

Hi! Batch 2026 here. Results aren't out yet, but I want to be prepared just in case. I’m curious about what it’s actually like living in a dorm or apartment in UP Diliman.

For those who live a few hours away from QC, how often do you usually go home to your province? Is every 2 weeks okay, or do you stay for a month at a time? Also, how is life in general living there?

Thanks! 🌻

hi. im a CoE freshie. my current grade standing in my eee123 course rn is about 20~25% (15% without the 10% lecture grade). on top of the already challenging subject, the new grading system of each LE being 30% is also very intimidating and really not helping me. i basically have to perfect both LE3 and my lecture grade if i want to have a chance at passing / taking the removals exam. what do i do. ive gotten different kinds of advice. im really feeling lost and discouraged. idk what to do. 🥲

lf m21 le3 samplex pls andami need aralin tas nakakabaliw pa yung problem solving help a girly out please

hi po everyone! to all non-qualifiers here sa UPM but pasok sa UPG cut off ang score sa 2.580, may I ask po how did you guys appeal and got accepted? is there an interview? what are the requirements last year? i really really need some helo because this is the only univ left sakin na natake-an ko ng CET. i dont know how appeal works po e and its possibility to be accomodated through it.

and is it safe po na mag appeal nalang sa other UP campuses like UPLB since mas "safe" mag appeal dahil 2.800 ang cut off? kaysa sa UPM?

Sobrang dami ko kilalang burnout na dahil sa org work. Madami sa amin na hinakot ng both political and academic orgs bago pa mag maka-experience ng actual na klase sa UP.

Ipo-promote yung idea na magkakaroon ka ng "guidance" sa college life tapos tatambakan ka lang naman ng trabaho. Siyempre sariling desisyon mo parin naman sumali at minsan ay nakakatulong nga, pero dahil tinatarget agad nila yung mga freshie outright na wala pang alam saan lulugar sa UP mismo majority ay nahihirapan lang din.
