Need help in deciding on a College
Hello! I really need help deciding for college because I feel super lost right now.
I passed the following universities:
• ADMU Health Sciences
• DLSU Medical Biology
• UST Medical Technology
• PLM Nursing
• UP Manila DPWAS (Waitlisted - most likely RadTech if UPM accepts me)
My original dream was to become a doctor for underserved communities in the Philippines. But now, I’m not even sure if I still want to pursue medicine. Honestly, I don’t know what I see myself doing in the next 10 years. Hindi ko pa rin nasasabi sa parents ko that I'm unsure na.
I was already set on choosing UST MedTech, but I’m starting to doubt it because I’m scared of limited job opportunities if I don’t pursue medicine, and I don’t want to end up unemployed later.
My personality:
• Introverted
• Not very confident in communication
• I prefer less social interaction when possible
PROS AND CONS
PLM Nursing
• Pros: Free tuition + scholarship allowance, I really like the campus (esp nasa Intramuros), I may have an advantage if I'll pursue med in PLM.
• Cons: PLM is very difficult academically, I’m not confident if I can survive nursing, mabburnout ako agad
UST MedTech
• Pros: Dream school and dream program. I really like the campus and environment (I am from UST) and UST Medtech is a high quality program
• Cons: It is expensive and I’m worried that if I don’t pursue medicine, job opportunities might be limited.
ADMU Health Sciences
• Pros: Prestigious school and strong pre-med path
• Cons: very expensive. Also I didn’t originally plan for Ateneo, and I don't see myself there.
DLSU Medical Biology
• Pros: Same as ADMU
• Cons: Same as ADMU
UP Manila DPWAS (likely RadTech i guess?)
• Pros: Free tuition and prestigious School
• Cons: I'm not even sure here since I am a DPWAS waitlister + I don’t really like RadTech as a course
My main options are UST and PLM. It's either I'm:
• choosing something practical and free, but I don't like the course (PLM Nursing)
• choosing something I’m more comfortable with (UST MedTech)
• Perhaps i'll also consider other schools
Any advice would really help. Thank you so much!:(
