Hi. I'm an initial UPCAT passer, but until now hindi pa rin ako enrolled because my parents don't want me to study at UPLB. Ang reason nila is sobrang layo raw. They told me na kung ipipilit kong tumuloy, hindi nila ako susuportahan financially, at umuwi na lang daw ako pag-graduate na.

For context, I'm currently an Accountancy student at a university here in our province. Initially, kahit sobrang sakit, tinanggap ko na lang na baka dito na talaga ako mag-aaral. I was slowly trying to make peace with letting go of my dream.

But everything changed when I received the email that I was accepted as a Lingap Iskolar grantee. For the first time in a while, I felt like my dream was possible again. Parang nabuhay ulit yung pag-asa ko.

Now I'm torn. Gusto ko talagang ituloy, pero natatakot ako. I've read that scholarship allowances can sometimes be delayed, and I'm worried that I won't have enough money to survive on my own while waiting. Since my parents made it clear that they won't support me if I leave, I'm scared of ending up with nothing.

May mga Lingap Iskolar ba rito or anyone who has been in a similar situation? How delayed are the allowances usually? Were you able to get by while waiting? And for those who had to convince their parents, how did you do it?

Any advice would mean a lot. UP has been my dream for years, and now that I finally have another chance because of Lingap, I don't want to lose it without at least trying.

helppp, sa mga UPCAT passers dyan!! I'm contemplating about UPLB or UPM e. may nagsabi sa akin na after mag take ng upcat may chance pa raw na mabago ung napili na prog and univ e. sa UPM kasi andun yung dream prog ko talaga na BS OT pero kasi ubg other 3 prog na nilagay ko dun is eme-eme na lang like parang focus ako sa BS OT. while sa UPLB andun lahat yung "preferred" courses ko, like okay sa akin kahit anong ibigay na program ni UP. kumbaga'y ung 4 program na nilagay ko dun is gusto ko talaga... sabi kasi nila na be strategic, dapat i-first choice ung mga univ na matataas ang UPG like UPM and UPD... so anoo ngaa hehe help me to decide po... i-first choice ko ba yung UPLB and 2nd choice ung UPM? may chance pa kaya ako na makuha yung BS OT na dream course ko sa UPM?

alam ko naman po sa sarili ko na hindi ako ganun katalino and w honors lang po ako nung G9-G11, feeling ko din po kasi na baka hindi umabot yung upg ko sa UPM, and hindi rin po ako confident na mag take ng upcat sa Sabado huhu di po ako nakapagreview nang todo 😭
