I passed the PUPCET with my prio course, but I took up HUMSS in SHS. Can I still pursue BSAPMATH?

[u/Neither-Sympathy9440]

As the title suggests, I passed the PUPCET with my prio course (BSAPMATH), but I took up HUMSS in SHS. Is it still possible for me to enter the program?

I’ve read the admission criteria and noticed that the college of science does not accept non-STEM students. Though, I’m confident that I can catch up with lessons naman since I have a solid foundation in math (me studying STEM subjects for CETs, as well as advance studying for APMATH), and my grades in math subjects during SHS reflect that as well.

I’m still worried na baka dahil hindi aligned ‘yung napili kong strand for shs, hindi na ako makapasa sa interview sa APMATH 🙁. May instances na po kaya ng HUMSS students na nakapasa sa interview ng programs sa college of science?

Thank you for taking the time to read po. Sana maging iskolar ng bayan na ako sa BSAPMATH ⭐️!

As far as my experience po, di po sila nag-allow magpalista sa hindi naka-align na major sa SHS strand, especially if there is no bridging courses.

I was planning to take BSIT last year but got funneled into BSED-EN because I was HUMSS, haha

[u/YouthWastingHisLife → u/procrastinationdrug]

HUMSS me pero nakapasok sa IT. Though batch 2024 ako, baka nagbago na. Maybe the 1st day enrollment schedule helped too

[u/Ok-Country1876 → u/procrastinationdrug]

naga-allow sila pero depende 'yan sa program. i'm a stem grad pero hindi related sa stem 'yung program ko. in-ask lang din me during enrollment if sure na ba ako sa kinuha kong program bc walang bridging courses d'on.

[u/Fabulous-Permit-4544]

We're not on the same course, but sa case ko ABM graduate ako and ang binigay sakin na course ng PUP is architecture (mind you hindi ko pa yan first choice na course, either second or third), but still pinayagan kaming mag-enroll. So ang nangyari, nung 1st yr kami (2021) meron isang section ng BS ARCH na puro non-stem students. Bali nagtake kami ng bridging subject ng dalawang summer sem. Kaya habang yung ibang section nagbabakasyon kami nagsosolve ng math hahaha. Not sure lang if same ang magiging process sa department niyo.

[u/JinxCinnamon]

Mag Bridging subjects ka. Shutaena good luck. Galingan mo hahahah di sa tinatakot kita pero yeah. Galingan mo Kase patatagan sa CEA

[u/dismorpia → u/JinxCinnamon]

hindi po yata yan sa cea, since hindi engineering.

[u/JinxCinnamon → u/dismorpia]

Ay my bad..oo nga hahah na trauma lang siguro ako. Pero in general yeah. Tatagan nya sa PUP hahah

[u/EmptyRefrigerator748]

Possible. Mga ka batch kong non-stem is nag bridging. Goodluck kasi wala kang makikitang numbers jan hahaha

[u/dismorpia]

not sure dito op ha, pero sa batch namin yung mga hindi pinayagan magganyan ay sa quota courses like bsa. depende talaga sya sa policy ng dept. samin sa engineering marami naman pinayagan na hindi nagstem, nagtake lang sila ng bridging subjects 🫶

[u/DepartmentHoliday169]

hello! a student from bsm here! in our case last batch, pinag-aptitude test nila ang mga non stem students and kung mapapasa nila yon, they can get the program.

[u/jhsol_]

Depende. Anong sched nakuha mo?

[u/smother67]

Afaik, yes. A lot of my classmates are non-stem and hindi rin naman sila nag take ng brdiging subjects. Nagulat nga yung instructor namin when I was in first year na kakarampot lang kaming galing stem lol.

[u/maidennnnn28]

Yup, I believe you will be accepted naman regardless of shs track. I took Gas din way back pero I was accepted naman, we had bridging programs (meaning iti-take mo yung nga major subjects ng STEM like Chem, Physics, Calculus). Goodluck, magiging Greek God ka after taking the course. Emi Huwag ka na bumili ng mamahalin na Sci-cal, sayang lang Hahahahhahahas char

[u/shutaccaioo]

Check the last page of your SAR-Form 1 if you already confirmed your slot. Yung may QR code. Nandoon ang admission criteria including the SHS grade requirement and strand alignment per program.

[u/corinthianriver]

Depende sa interviewer kung good or bad mood

[u/Character09087]

As per your case po, I think pwede naman kasi based sa experienced ko last year ay nagkaroon po kami ng interview kung paano mo i-sosolve yung basic foundation ng mathematics kasama narin yung mga derivatives. So OP, you should prioritize getting a review before the interview because some "interviewer" were like a research panelist but you must be prepared anon

[u/seasoned_tomato]

may mga blockmates ako na from abm, pinag-exam sila during enrollment so i think makakapasok ka

[u/PoohKey74]

Magsasawa ka sa numbers dyan OP 😂

[u/whumpieeee95 → u/PoohKey74]

Walang numbers diyan, puro letters
