r/uplb

hello, im hoping someone can help me weigh this out. my family and I are currently deciding if I should pursue BS Nursing at FEU, which costs around ₱80k for the first semester (excluding other expenses like uniforms, materials, etc.). The challenge is that we’re financially unstable and sometimes only manage through loans. The other option is at UPLB, which is actually my dream school, but since I’m from Las Piñas, we’re not sure how much dorms, transportation, and allowance would add up if I study there. Any advice or insights? that would mean a lott.

hello po! does having dost scholarship is a bonus to be accepted in uplb manual appeal? I saw an fb po that the slot is secure when you have dost scholarship, is that true po?

hello poo! I’m from Greenwoods Village, for those who know, kindly help me please huhu. from Unitop, how can I get to Los Baños? particularly to UPLB, I’m trying to enroll huhu.

If you know a cheaper or faster route, I'd love to hear it please!

Thank you so much please!

Just wondering, may natitira pa bang uplb owned dorm or dorm na cheap by the time na release yung passers ng manual appeal? 🥲🥲🥲

are there any successful bs appeals?

Given that nagkaubosan na ng slots esp for men, baka may review/thoughts on 4 Boys House? Hehehe

hi! Ive snooped around and haven’t found an answer to my question yet, during manual appeals sa lb, since strict sila sa requirements kada course, ano po mangyayare if you qualify for only one program? since sa manual po ay need pumili atleast 2 afaik(?) or may option po ba yun na i-none po? thank u in advance hihi

Mahirap ba ang enlistment process sa UPLB? Mas maayos ba ang enlistment process and UPD compared sa UPLB?

Hello, regarding the bridge program in UPLB, Are they super strict with LOA?,

Hello. Possible po ba magshift from UPLB Chemical Engineering to UPD Chemical Engineering by second year? Ano po ang thoughts and kumusta po ang Chemical Engineering sa UPLB? Mahirap po ba in overall aspect?

Should I take the risk of losing my DOST Undergrad Scholarship by proceeding with my enrollment under a non-prio program?

I am currently enrolled in another state university under BSCS which is a priority program of DOST, but I am willing to pull out if ever I pursue UPLB. I had to force myself to enroll because I had already set an appointment before the UPCAT results came out because of the FCFS basis. My thinking at the time of my enrollment was that I will be cancelling my enrollment if ever my request to change my degree program to a priority one was successful during the QA. Unfortunately, I retained my slot in my current degree program.

I wouldn’t mind studying CS for practicality and to make use of the scholarship, but to be honest, I really don’t want to study in the university I’m currently enrolled in. I cannot imagine living in an environment with barely any trees in sight with the extreme scorching weather + the commute is truly a hassle.

I do want my current degree program in UPLB, but I’ll be really grateful if I can change my program to a priority one so that I won’t have to let go of my scholarship.

I am not well-off, so having the scholarship will be a huge financial help, but being given the opportunity to study in one of the top performing universities in the country is not something I can simply let go of; especially because I will be the first family member to enter UP if ever I decided to push through with my enrollment.

I will be applying to the MA, but I cannot really expect because I know how slim the chances are. This is a huge risk I’ll be taking, but I’m honestly willing to take it.

What do you guys think?

good day po! does appealing to upb and uplb is okay po? based on the previous years po upb results are released first so if i am accepted to upb, will my appeal to uplb be automatically rejected?

tyia!

Just finally received my NoA as a GA passer today and oddly, contrary to what everyone like myself was expecting, schedules from the PPE to registration are no different from what initial upcat passers received...there are no changes in schedule in consideration for those who were offered slots much later...

Whats odd still, the PPE guideline link in my NoA does not lead to it correctly and is essentially broken. The OUR eventually sent a working link, twice, in my email, but it still leads to the unchanged schedule for PPE and med cert validation for initial upcat passers....

I was wondering if any GA/Waitlisted passers are encountering the same problems as I am, and this is some unique mistake from the OUR...or are things really as is? :,)

Helloo po..please help a freshie out na sobrang lutang ;-;

Medyo nalilito ako sa flow paano enrollment periods for those na nakapasok through general appeals. When I first accepted the course I was given from uplb last week, I skimmed through the office of the registrar's website which the DIWA portal linked to for enrollment guideline updates, but since there was nothing explicitly said in their announcements, I didn't pay much attention to the rest of the website and only depended my knowledge of the enrollment guidelines on the website (which I agree, is my fault for not being MORE attentive).

And now, Im seeing other people already proceeding with the initial requirements needed for enrollment, like the PPE and med cert validation (ddl until today for my course: bs bio) and I didn't know any of these things until today....

I had to go through other places on the internet to find more information about UPLB's enrollment process,,,,but im assuming most of what they're discussing was already a given and known to them if they're non-appeal passers.

And apparently, most of the enrollment guidelines were given through the NoA(?)(please correct me if I'm wrong), and until now, I don't have my NoA even after accepting the slot offered to me since last week. I only have my acceptance confirmation letter, and that's all I have from UP,,,

Is this going to affect my slot going into UPLB in any sort of way? Can I still validate my med cert and complete PPE sa mismong on-site enrollment registration?
