Hi ! So I'm a Grade 9 student in Pisay and I'm aiming for top international schools like Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, etc., specifically under the course of psychology or psychoscience. Do you guys have any tips for me on how to get started like on portfolios as a Pisayan, how to apply for those schools (esp. oxford huhu), and how I can get scholarship too?

Soo...Lately, I've been struggling sa Math 2b & Filipino (I'm grade 8). I've been getting quite low scores on our assesments, and i'm afraid that would bring me to a grade of 5. I'm a lateral student, and i'm kind of struggling with the pacing here. I really love it here, and I wanna graduate from here :( My scores from these 2 subjects just really makes me worried i'll get a 5. I'll just do my best and try to do better sa Midterms this week. Will I get a 5 if my scores were low in the formative assesments? 😭😭

hi! taga pisay mc ako, and i'm planning to transfer to ateneo for senior highschool for the ff reasons:

1. di ko na talaga kaya ang workload dito.. i sleep so late which is universal for all pisay students pero ang layo kasi ng tinitirahan namin and ayaw ako ipag-dorm. ang dami naming inaaral and lately bc of the continuous suspensions, napapadali lahat ng ginagawa.
2. ang panget ng grades ko. they're just passing. and i'm barely surviving. i'm aware that ateneo is not easy as well but wala namang mas hihirap sa pisay.
3. i don't have a lot of extracurrics. i'm focused sa acads and i'm not as smart as the other students here.

i need good grades + extracurrics to apply for good colleges and rn, i don't have that.
pls help po. any advices? same curric po ba sila? okay lang po yun bc i'm honestly looking for that-- i still need to get intellectually challenged.

paano po ba ang students sa ateneo? ano po yung mode of convo nila? here in pisay, we use gchat and disc a lot and i understand it's not the same for other schools.

hello po sa mga ates/kuyas na nag pursue ng bs molecular biology and biotechnology program sa upd, i just wanted to ask how's the life there, what to expect sa subjects/courses, and kung gaano ba kataas na grades ang kailangan para makapasok sa program na to, etc.

also i want to ask din kung ano yung plans niyo after graduating, magpproceed po ba kayo ng med, master's? tapos ano rin po ba ang other job opportunities dito

thank you so much po!

May I ask as a freshie ano po ung tinatawag nilang core and electives sa pisay para mas maging prepared lang for upcoming sy. Thank you po

I heard that this will be the largest campus of Pisay and that it may start operating next school year. If it does open next year, I was thinking about the number of slots available. Since the campus will be new, there might be more students who can get accepted through the NCE. They might also offer the LAQE there, especially since there won’t be many grade levels yet.

I feel like if Pisay NIRC does start its academic year next year, there could be a lot more LAQE takers there, even among students who didn’t originally apply to that campus, simply because there may be more available slots.

For the NCE, I think the situation might still be similar, but there could potentially be more slots compared to the Main Campus.

you can take the title and apply it to anything pero in my case, i want to use this to motivate current pisayers na medyo nag-aalanganin in terms of academics.

i’m an alumni who can honestly say na super bobo ko during my stay in pisay. i’m very self aware kasi despite appearing as happy-go-lucky dati, maf-feel pa rin naman ng tao if super lacking siya. i was that person. sobrang low effort ng nilaan ko sa studies ko and sobrang walang wala rin talaga akong hope dati. i even heard a teacher talk about me with people i wasn’t close to, about myself and how i dragged someone down with me by association (oa mo pa rin, ma’am. yang alaga mo nga salbahe to the point na inaya pa akong maging f*b as if di ako binigyan ng malalang trauma after our break up [dw, i said no LOL]). anw, i graduated with nothing to my name, never received DLs awards. the only college i applied to was a SU near our town and i was content na hindi ako makaka-attend ng mga bigating univs kasi i just really wanted to lay low for college. i didn’t want to pressure myself anymore. i took my premed course and without the pressure of doing the best of the best, mas nag-excel pa ako kaysa sa mga kaklase ko dati sa pisay who attended the same university. i was a consistent academic scholar up until graduation, where i received magna cum laude latin honors. this was my it after all those years at nabawi ko rin sa sarili ko yung achievements na pinangarap ko lang noon sa pisay.

ang lesson learned for today ay: mag-aral ka at wag ka magpakatamad kasi ikaw lang makakatulong sa sarili mo. yun lang naman kasi problema ko noon, tinamad lang hehe HAHAHA go guys! kakayanin para sa bayan 🤣🫶🏻
