My niece is a 4th year high school student in Ramon Magsaysay High School (under the science program, which is similar to the more popular science schools) in QC , she took the UPcat exams but unfortunately, I did not see her name in the list :(.

I can still remember how happy I was when I found out that I passed the UPCAT exams. Back then, we had to go to UP Diliman to check if we passed or not. You can wait for your letter but that would take a couple of weeks.

It would have really been a big advantage for her (and for my brother and mother who is taking care of her schooling) if she passed because not only is UP one of the best schools in the country but is also considered on of the cheapest. They have this stratified tuition fee scheme wherein each student would have a bracket with 1 being the most needy. During my time, 9 is the level wherein you would no longer get discounts. At level 1, all fees are free plus the student would get a monthly stipend from the State University.

But there are still a lot of good schools out there. Plus a lot of scholarships she can apply to. I heard she took the entrance exam at Ateneo. It is also a very good school but I would not recommend that she go there even with scholarship since almost (if not all) students there are very rich. She might not be able to cope up with the expensive lifestyle of the students there.
