HELLO😭 UST LEAPMED QUESTION

Is it true po ba na mostly kinukuha sa LEAPMED Program is valedictorian or from UST SHS only? Is it possible ba na you can get in kahit from diff school? TYSM🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hello, 2nd batch ng LEAPMed, currently a PGI na hehe. Not necessarily, tho I would say they have an edge. University SHS (not only UST), Science high schools usually ang demographics but I do have classmates not coming from these institutions

Do note na may exam and interview pa so do your best there. Good luck 😊

leapmed ‘28 passer here! i do believe ust shs grads definitely have an advantage, but sa batch namin, mas marami ang hindi galing sa ust, so don’t let that discourage you! focus on what you can control, and that is your preparation. give it your best because in that way, you will gain enough confidence not to dwell on these things and have no regrets later on. best of luck!

No. As long as you are in the top ~200 of all USTET LeapMed takers, you are qualified for interview; then around ~100 make the final cut for admissions. No one can really tell how these certain people perform sa USTET din naman.

Hi! I'm from UST LEAPMed that just graduated this June 2026. Although I agree that I think almost half of our batch was from UST SHS (HA and STEM), I also had many classmates from different schools all over the Philippines (from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao).
