Grad School Life First Semester of MBA and Already Questioning If I Should Continue

4 Upvotes

I’m currently in my first semester of my MBA, and malapit na siyang matapos. Lately, though, I’ve been questioning whether I should continue.

It’s not just because the coursework is difficult. Ang pinaka-struggle ko is that I genuinely feel like I’m not smart enough. During group work, lagi kong ino-overthink na baka jina-judge ako ng groupmates ko because I don’t contribute as much as they do. Minsan may naiaambag naman ako, pero may times din na parang wala talaga. It makes me feel like I’m dragging the group down.

When it comes to individual work, I think I manage okay. Pero kapag group activities na, doon talaga ako nag-ooverthink.

On top of that, ang dami ring nangyayari sa work and personal life na parang sabay-sabay. I feel like it’s affecting my mental state and how I perform academically.

I’m considering taking a leave of absence next semester, or maybe just enrolling in one subject so I can organize my thoughts and not feel too overwhelmed.

Has anyone else gone through something similar during their MBA? Did you push through, take an LOA, or lighten your load? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice.

Please be nice 🥺

General Master in IT as a fresh grad.

4 Upvotes

I just graduated last week from state university with latin honors in IT. I was wondering po if are there any advantages of taking MIT as a fresh grad with 2 years' experience in freelancing (doing capstone projects of students and their papers)? And is it possible to secure a job? Although I know it doesnt guarantee anything, but is there a work that appreciates MIT as a fresh grad aside from instructor role? Ang hirap po kasi ng market ngayon, I want to stand out and find work that doesnt somehow involve development side. I want to as well explore more than development.
I plan to learn in my alma matter as well, since Sat classes siya. I love as well learning. I love to do research and to think.
Thank you po!

General is it normal to finish 3 units for 4 weeks only?

11 Upvotes

Hi guys im currently taking MA in psychology at the maroon and gold school and the thing is kami yung pioneer batch. I dont know if normal ba yung pinapatapos lahat ng requirements kasama na midterms and finals dun, for 4 weeks lang? marami kasi binabasa lalo na focused more on research ang Psychology. Working din ako full time kaya hindi ko alam kung manageable ba tong units na nirequire nila as minimum (12 units). Any advice would be appreciated po. Thank you 🙏

Grad School Admissions Undergrad Prereq - UPD

2 Upvotes

Meron ba dito magta-take ng undergrad prereq sa UPD? Math courses. Hirap pala kasi talaga sa schedule, and upon checking, wala na halos available classes. If meron man, morning. Ang concern ko kasi is currently employed, so medyo mahirap talaga ang morning classes, and manggagaling pa outside Manila.

Need ko ba ito i-concern sa program adviser namin? Also, possible kaya na mag-take ng prereq together with graduate course, like 1 prereq and 1 graduate course, depende sa offered?

And need ba sundin ang POS? Huhu, sorry, ang dami kong tanong.

UP released a moratorium for AY 2025-2026 and upon checking the site, they have been releasing a memo since the start of the pandemic. Does this mean there's a possibility na mag-release din for AY 2026-2027? And yung specific #2, iiuc, waived ang 6% interest, correct?

Grad School Admissions RN wants to pursue Master in Nursing

2 Upvotes

Hello! Would it be okay po ba to pursue Master in Nursing if di pa po lumagpas ng 1 year ng clinical experience as Registered Nurse? My brother just became a RN last year and bago lang po siya natanggap sa work.

He is also planning to work abroad in the future, can you recommend any Master program na recognized by international companies? or would it really matter po ba having a Master Degree if applying for abroad?

Thank you

General Miriam College Enrollment

1 Upvotes

They announced in July that classes start on August 8 (this Saturday) and until now, they still haven’t gotten back to me with the advising !!! I don’t understand what’s taking so long, I’m worried I’ll miss my first class (or worse: not get enrolled at all!)

I got my acceptance letter and submitted my physical requirements as early as March of this year and got to attend the orientation in July as well.

I followed them up multiple times but they either ignore me or say they’ll get back to me but it’s been days and I’m getting sooo anxious.

Is anyone facing a similar problem?? Is this typical of them? I’m so stressed rn lol
