UP vs UST
Sorry in advance if you’ll think that I’m being OA.
Context: I graduated as the valedictorian and passed UPLB and UST—my dream universities.
I got into UPLB’s DevComm and LegMa naman sa UST.
DevComm is my first choice in elbi while alt prog naman ang LegMa sa UST pero nung nalaman ko na doon ako nakapasa instead na sa prio choice ko, mas natuwa ako kasi mas aligned siya sa law—yes, I plan to go to law school after college.
DevComm is close to my heart and I’ve been manifesting it. LegMa naman however, is the program I’m eyeing right now since advantageous siya before LS. Gusto ko rin non kasi I like to be challenged and I want to be prepared and familiar sa type of environment na meron sa LS.
My mind goes like this now:
UP- I’m passionate about DevComm and it’s literally UP
UST- I reallyyy like the program and would motivate me more to pursue law
Another thing, I applied to Bagong Pilipinas Merit Scholarship Program (UPLB DevComm) and heard na nagsesend na sila ng rejection letter. Wala pa akong natatanggap na update and they said na mataas ang chance na pasado dahil nagrerejct na ang Region IV-A.
Sa UST naman, I’m planning to apply for Sto. Tomas Scholarship (100% free tuition)
Sobrang indecisive ko to the point na gusto kong aralin ang both program in both university lol. Also, we are from lower middle class kaya uhaw talaga ko sa scholarships to support my study.
Please help me in choosing 🥲
