UPM PolSci vs UST Pharmacy, help me choose!
I recently passed the UPCAT and got into my second-choice program at UPM, which is Political Science. However, my first-choice, dream program has always been Pharmacy at UST. I genuinely enjoy lab work, formulations, and the idea of becoming a pharmacist.
My dilemma is that UST enrollment is already on May 23, and if I don’t enroll by then, I’ll lose my slot. Financially, UST would also be a big challenge for my family. We’re middle class, and while my parents are willing to try, tuition is very expensive, so I would likely need scholarships to continue. At the same time, I’m also thinking long-term because medical school itself is another major expense.
What I know for sure is:
I really want to pursue Pharmacy.
I also want to aim for UPCM in the future.
