Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for your insights po. I failed 1 subject in my first year, so I wasn't promoted to next year level. Luckily(not lucky😭) , I didn't get debarred/kicked out since my school requires 2 or more failures for dismissal.

Anyway, I’m asking for your opinion ifshould I stay in my current school (which is one of the oldest and most prestigious) and just retake my failed subject, or transfer na ako to another school that will credit my passed subjects para makapag-2nd year na ako?

Also, do you have any idea which med schools credit subjects for transferees, and kung ano-ano pa pong schools the open for admissions right now? Any thoughts on MCU, OLFU, Perpetual Las Piñas, or CEU? Thank you!

Hello! I'm enrolled in both RCs but plan to use only one for Micro. I'd love to hear your insights on Doc Kharam Molbog vs. Doc Toff.

I've read a lot of positive feedback about Doc Toff, but I can't seem to find many reviews for Doc Kharam. I only know that he scored 95 in Micro.

I'm looking for someone who's genuinely an excellent teacher, especially since I barely remember anything from Micro and basically need to relearn it from scratch.

For those who've attended either (or both) of their lectures, who would you recommend and why? Thank you!

Any stories here of people who quit a well-paying professional career and went to med school? How old were you when you started and did you have regrets quitting your job and finishing med?

I am about to enroll. I really wanted to be an MD but I am scared I’ll regret not staying and just continue earning. I don’t exactly like this job tho.

So I applied to FEU NRMF last week palang ng May and tbh medyo mabagal sila magprocess ng application. Nainterview pa ko last July 2 lang then until now, Under Evaluation pa din yung application ko.

Orientation na sa July 10 and Opening of Classes will be on July 13, required umattend ng orientation because madaming important things na ididiscuss such as yung new curriculum. Then required na enrolled ka bago ka umattend ng orientation. As per their email, the result of my application will be released on July 8. So paano yun huhu may 1 day lang me para tapusin yung process ng enrollment?

SANA DI NALANG SILA NAGPOST NA THEY ARE STILL ACCEPTING APPLICANTS KUNG GANYAN DIN NAMAN PALA MANGYAYARI

Hello poooo! I’m an upcoming freshman and I’m lowkey nervous about med school but it’s really my dream since I was a kid. So to those who already got their MD license, if you were given a chance to do med school all over again, gagawin niyo pa ba? hahah

Hi po! I am so lost baka po you can give me tips pls! Pls send help 🥺 I’m really trying my best but overwhelmed lang po. A lot of people says that the transition would be hard and it is really hitting me hard. Would appreciate any tips po please! 1st yr med student here 🙏

I’m currently SHS and the plans I have is to become a doctor in the future. Pero idk if gusto ko maging doctor dahil gusto ko or dahil gusto ng mom ko.

So my mom is a doctor, and buong buhay ko I’ve been exposed to the medical world. And me and my siblings all said na we would pursue med sa future. Well ngayon na college na siblings ko nagbago na isip nila and no longer want to take med. So that leaves me with the pressure na maging doctor or dissapoint my mom. Lagi niya kasi sinasabi sakin “gusto mo ba mag doctor?” “Mag nursing ka nalang” parang guilt trip moves ba hahahaha kasi di na magdodoctor siblings ko. Growing up din sinasabihan ako ng ibang doctors na “magdodoctor ka?” “Magiging sainyo din tong hospital na tinayo namin” so dagdag pressure sakin.

The thing is, I dont see myself doing another job other than maging doctor talaga. But my problem is, SOBRANG HINA KO SA SCIENCE. Like I’m super duper duper weak sa Science and ik med school is all about science. I’m not passionate about other jobs din eh so doctor nalang talaga.

Btw I’m a incoming GAS-HA sa ust and pasang awa pa ako sa science portion ng USTET pero thank God nakapasa pa ako.

Idk if I want to become a doctor dahil gusto ko or dahil gusto ni mommy 🥲

How did you guys know na med school was for you and why did you pursue it?

i wanna know what made u decide that u wanna take med? like a certain thing that made u wanna pursue medicine

Hi! The first batch for the basic suturing workshop has just wrapped up and was a huge success. 😊

We are now opening the 2nd batch this coming Saturday for more students to learn suturing hands-on. Any year level, even premed and health allied students are welcome.

If you want to sign up, comment or send a dm. Thank you! 😊

Mine was nag auscultate ako sa patient for almost a minute, tapos nagtaka ako bakit wala akong marinig. Nasa leeg ko pa pala yung steth hindi ko pala sinuot sa tenga hahaha

currently studying for MTLE boards & i still feel lost if i should proceed to med or ASCPi. TBH, medtech wasn’t my first choice but my parents told me it was a good pre-med course. I badly want to be a doctor & i cry myself to sleep thinking about it. I don’t want medicine to be my TOTGA & biggest multo.

Genuine question. I had a hard time with this during my premed. It was only during my second year i felt like i belonged to a group 🥺 I’m more fluent in english than Tagalog to be real (i was born abroad) and people always jokingly tell me that they dont want to talk to me because i speak english. Even as a joke, i feel like there’s some truth to that. I understand tagalog naman but english is my default and i dont expect people to speak it to me.

Even as an intern in my fourth year, i was constantly labeled the englishera, cointerns and staff would tell me how they didnt want to talk to me at first. Im towards the end of my internship and ive had most of my lunches alone. My cointerns are friendly to me naman but i didnt get to make close friends with them during my internship.

Anyways hahah i faced this during my premed and im nervous to go through this again now that im accepted into med

thank you in advance and good luck dokkies!

Good day! I am an incoming 3rd year student in a state U and I was wondering whether I could get a slot in PGH for PGIship soon.

My grades are mostly line of 7 nga lang. is there a possibility na pwede pa rin ako makuha sa PGH? Nagma-matter ba grades sa matching for PGIship?

Thank you ❤️

i have a dilemma. i wasn't accepted to my target state u and i embraced that reality naman. i then applied to private schools in which they're offering full academic scholarships (100% discount tf, misc. fees, books). the concern is since these priv schools are in the other city, i have to carefully plan and think pa if kaya ko iraos studies ko considering my monthly living expenses na di covered ng scholarship. syempre may maintaining grade din. gusto ng papa ko na ilaban ko pag-aaral sa city para makapag med nako this year. other side of me also considers my fam kung ipupush ko this year baka eventually sila rin yung mauubos kaka-support sakin? i have sibs abroad and we have farmland, we're not really a low-income fam pero tambak pa kasi sa loans mga kapatid ko and senior citizens naman parents namin.

or i could reapply to that state u who rejected me. you know, shoot my shot again next application period and baka palarin for ched msrs. kaso nga lang, delayed na naman ako ng 1 year.

pangarap ko talaga pag do-doctor kahit ilang beses na kong dinidiscourage ng mama ko. wala kasing natapos mga magulang namin kaya sinumpa ko talaga in this lifetime na i will achieve things hangga't kaya ng katawan at utak ko. i have no interest in marriage kaya sa sarili at magulang talaga patutungohan ng salary ko someday. iba ang traumang dala ng kahirapan.

alam kong matagal ang ROI sa medisina pero alam ko ring di ako magugutom.

sa ngayon, papa ko talaga ang only person na naniniwala sakin. wala kasi akong ibang iniisip kundi mag-aral. sarili at magulang ang palagi kong priority. kaya kahit ilang beses nakong pinipressure na mag jowa/asawa... di ko talaga ginawa. na-witness ko lahat ng hirap ng parents at mga kapatid kong maagang napasubok sa marriage life. mahirap po talaga. iba ang trauma. ayokong matulad.

mas pipiliin kong umiyak kakaabot ng mga pangarap ko. pero yun nga, if i have to take another gap year. pray ko nalang na bigyan ako ng diyos ng tibay ng loob na malagpasan lahat ng to. alam kong pag-uusapan at babatuin ako ng criticisms galing sa own family ko.

kung ilalaban ko private med school this year, baka rin masyadong selfish sa part ko.

honestly, di ko alam ano gagawin.

Hello. I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now.
I failed my first year of medical school, and the school I'm currently attending has always been my dream school. I've always wanted to study there because it's well-known for producing excellent doctors and has a strong reputation as one of the top medical schools in the country.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and I failed.
My parents are giving me another chance to continue medical school, but they've also given me the option to either re-enroll in my current school or transfer to another one.

The other school is much newer compared to my current one. It's not as well-established yet and, from what I've heard, doesn't have the best reputation. However, one of its biggest advantages is that it offers a much more flexible schedule. It relies more on independent learning, whereas my current school has daily classes and a lot of extracurricular and school-related activities.

The downside, though, is that several people I know who study there have told me that the mortality rate is very high across all year levels. That honestly scares me because this is my last chance to prove to my parents—and to myself—that I can become a doctor.

On the other hand, I genuinely like the system in my current school. The curriculum and environment are good, but the schedule is incredibly demanding. Every year becomes even busier, and I'm afraid that I might not be able to keep up, especially after already failing once.
I'm honestly so torn and don't know what decision to make. Should I transfer to the newer school for its flexibility, even if it has a high failure rate and a less established reputation? Or should I stay in my dream school, despite knowing how demanding and exhausting the workload can be?

I'd really appreciate any advice or insights from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

Hello, everyone!

I come from a program where we don’t have any chemistry courses so I find it hard to digest anything related to chemistry. I fear that this subject will really make me sacrifice my time and effort just to really get down with the concepts. That being said, do you have any tips in studying biochemistry? What are the things that I should know first?
As someone without a background in chemistry, what should I be able to understand first concept-wise?

Would really appreciate your help as this subject is making me nervous lol. Thank you!

Hello! For those na nagapply for SBU for AY 2026-2027 na graduating, hiningi din ba GWA sa inyo?

Yung pinagInternship ko kasi di pa binibigay grades namin eh 2 months na nakalipas. Nafafrustrate ako kasi hiningi sakin GWA, di mabigay ng school ko ngayon.

I have already paid tuitions and currently waiting for the start of the class for CEU school of medicine and few things concern me. I have received an email for required documentation such as honorable dismissal and other documents needed at the day of orientation and they also need a TOR with remarks for evaluation. But for the TOR, I need to hand them first the honorable dismissal that has this part that can be cut to be sent back to my former university(which his San Beda) to request for the TOR. I was wondering if this is something common and also wondering if I should be concerned? I am also planning to email CEU in advance to avoid any future issues. I already have the rest of the documents so I can handover the rest of them on the day of enrollment.
