What is SYP like with chem core and physics elective? any insights, tips, advice are greatly appreciated 🫰 (may slyt rant sa dulo)
Hiii, incoming g11 po and really scared because some peers said that double core will kill me. I'm not academically exceptional, but I'm convinced on choosing chem core and p6 elective because they feel right to me. There's really a lot of factors playing into this so I need lotsss of opinions guyz.
For context, college-wise, I plan on pursuing BS MSE/MatE and want to focus more on R&D kaya chem core, then I'm leaning towards p6 instead of engg for elective; eto ang alam ko for each:
P6 pros - understanding fundamentals, easier sa college if I master this na
cons - heavy workload with chem core, harder to get a higher grade so it will affect my upg for upcat
*I prioritized level 1 lang in the preference form because I didn't wanna overestimate myself, however that doesn't cover something about calc that I'd need sa engg in UPD MatE so that worries me too. if may insight kayo on this PLZZZ share
Engg pros - easier to uno, better for upg sa upcat
cons - unsure if I will enjoy this, not as interested in it (again, I prefer R&D rather than industrial-scaling stuff), more advantageous to civil engg or mech engg
rant:
I really don't care to compare myself to batchmates and seniors in terms of grades because I'd rather polish my fundamentals in p6 than go straight into engg when I don't think I'd enjoy it. ALTHOUGH I will say that I've become more insecure because the batchmates and seniors that I heard chose chemphys are leg8 smart students as in actually bright and part of the top. i'm just your average student bro. adding to that pa ung friend ko that scared me and didn't encourage me at all when he heard na magdouble core ako, chemphys at that.
i feel more passionate towards studying physics and possibly failing trying to do so rather than getting bored or learning little to nothing to my interest in engg just for the easy grade. Still, I wonder if I should be listening to my peers and instead take engg or do I become stubborn and just freaking challenge my future mental health.
