Hi! I've been looking through past occurences of reconsiderations in UST Medschool, and I saw that they do regularly open reconsideration forms for applicants. Is this a full reopening of application (open for people who did not apply during the initial application period entering as late applicants) or is it only for those who got either waitlisted or rejected during the first application period.
Considering din that this is accessed through the UST FMS portal, which is currently now closed to new applicants
Hello, med people. Lately I’ve been realizing I don’t really feel connected to my med school friend group anymore. There’s no big fight or issue. I think we’ve just grown into different people, and being around them has started to feel more draining than comforting.
The problem is we still see each other often. So it’s not like I can completely disappear without things becoming awkward. I don’t want drama, confrontation, or anything. I also don’t want to ghost them and look immature. I just want to quietly distance myself and protect my peace without making med school even more stressful.
Has anyone here experienced this in med school or another intense/professional environment? How did you handle it without burning bridges? Thanks in advance sa advices and thoughts!
I saw this post about rich kids in med school making elitist jokes or being out of touch with classmates who didn’t come from money. For those actually in med school right now, is this still common?
Like do people really get judged for not being wealthy or not coming from doctor families, or is social media exaggerating it?
Curious especially about PH med schools since tuition alone already makes medicine feel inaccessible for a lot of people.
Hello po, ask lang po saan po kayo bumili ng litmann stet niyo po na legit? If may link po kayo ng shopee or lazada, better hehe.

Hello! About to apply to SLMC (as a pahabol sana hehe) since they extended their deadline to May 31. As per their FB post, we’re also allowed to submit an application for scholarships at the same time. (So I’m taking my chances t__t)
Asking lang if there’s a responsive email address/contact I can send an email/message to? I emailed them (including the dean’s office) two days ago and up until now, wala pa rin. :/
I’d appreciate the help, thank you!
Hello! Clerkship starts in a few days and I’m looking for scrub recommendations for someone who sweats a lot 😭
Any specific brands, fabrics, or material types you’d recommend? I’ve heard mixed things about different fabrics so I’d love to hear actual experiences from fellow pawisins.
Thank you in advance!

Hi po everyone! Weird post I know but I really need honest advice between UPM Nursing vs UST MedTech
Long-term goal is ENT / Otolaryngology abroad (preferably UK, maybe US).
UPM Nursing pros for me:
• Large research environment which helps a lot sa CV
• PGH connections/mentorship
• strong academics and focuses more on clincal/practical skills
• good networking with doctors in UP/PGH
• flexible abroad backup as a nurse (if ever)
But I’m really worried about RSA delaying my plans abroad + burnout/stress (I have a tito in UPM saying super duper pagod siya lagi, would I still have time for extra research or whatever?)
UST MedTech pros:
• Stronger foundation sa mga hard sciences
• Larger alumni network
• no RSA so agad na me makakapag-take ng mga exams abroad like PLBA/USMLE
• easier timeline for going abroad since no return service obligation
• stronger focus on laboratory diagnostics/research skills which could help in med school and clinical reasoning
But I’m scared I’d lose the UP research/network advantage. At the same time, I feel like medtech would better prep me for exam taking in the future. And ofc the RSA is a pain.
Main questions:
• Which would help more long-term for UK/US medicine?
• Is UPM’s research advantage worth the RSA? How to skip RSA?
• Can UST MedTech students still get involved in UP-PGH research?
• Which gives better backup options if going abroad gets difficult?
• Which path would you fellas choose personally?
Would appreciate insights especially from:
• UPM Nursing students/grads
• UST MedTech people
• Filipinos now working abroad
• people pursuing medicine after either course
Trying to think long-term (or baka masyadong advance lng mag-isip, ty!!)
Hello Dokies! I’m an incoming freshman here. Anong magandang note taking app and any other apps na helpful sa inyong journey so far? Thank you!
Hello dokies! Is this shop legit po? Thank you so much!
hehehehhehehehehhehehehehehehhehehehehhehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehe(for 100 characters)
fyi, I currently live near UST so I’m nearer to San Beda than FEU. If ever, I’d need to relocate if I choose FEU. pls tell me what’s more worth it 😔🙏
Quick story: I took a LOA last February at UERM because my confidence took a hit, which really affected my grades and eventually my mental health. Honestly, I still don’t know if the main problem was the online learning setup or my study habits.
If I go back to UERM, I’ll only be taking 4 subjects in the first semester since I already passed the other semestral subjects.
Right now, I’m trying to figure out what really went wrong during my freshman year. I’m also considering whether I should transfer schools while I’m on LOA, maybe to HSI or SBU since they have more face-to-face lectures, or just stay at UERM and focus on improving my study habits.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hello do you guys know when will they really upload/post the list of clerks?? They said they will post it last monday but they did not. I thought they were just waiting for the few students to finish their make up OSCE in Med but the Med dept already uploaded the grades last night. Thanks!
I'm 27 years old. Finished BMLS and took the board exam on 2019. It's been 7 years since I was in school. Is it too late for me to start med school? I forgot most of what I learned. I have to start from scratch. Also, I'm about to get married. Is it possible to juggle marriage life and med school? I need your advice.
helloo! anyone here who got interviewed then got rejected by plm, but eventually got accepted din after?
Ano masasabi niyo tungkol sa admin ng blue school sa QC na hindi sa Aurora? Balita ko di na “mental health friendly” doon dahil sa kanila? Balita ko rin na tinatanggal mga post dito kapag nag post ng masama tungkol sa kanila? Sana di ma take down post na ito haha
