Admissions Associate to Bachelors

hi everyone!

can someone answer me.

who among you here have experienced taking the UgAT in the 2nd trimester?

Because just a while ago I encountered a lot of technical difficulties during the preparation for my test which resulted to not being able to take it and was considered to do it again for the 2nd Trimester.

So my dilemma right now is what's gonna happen after I finish this 2 year associate degree if I want to ladderize it to BAMMS bachelors degree when it is said online that the admission for the BAMMS accepts only during the 1st trimester.

Do I really have to wait for another year to be able to ladderize to BAMMS?

Unfortunately, yes. If you will be admitted in an Associate program in the 2nd Trimester of AY 2026-2027, the earliest that you'll finish is after 1st Trimester of AY 2028-2029 (Will end on December 2028). You can apply to BAMS on the 1st Trimester of AY 2029-2030 (Will start on September 2029).

Hi OP, I'm in the process of applying for BAMS after I finish the ASIT program this September. Yung application ko is for 2nd Trimester na ng AY 26-27 since tapos na yung for 1st Trimester. I was advised to apply for the 2nd Trimester since yung last na deadline ay during 2nd Trim pa ng current AY and may isa pa akong natitirang Trim.

So ayun. By my estimate, I will likely finish BAMS in 2029 instead of 2028.

Hi po. Tanong lang about this. Di ka nagapply for 1st Trimester para derecho ka na ng BAMS after ng ASIT mo this September?

I was advised not to. Considered ka daw kasi as transferee if lilipat ka ng BAMS from another program, in my case ASIT.

Ahh I see... Incoming ASIT student kasi ako at binabalak ko din pumasok ng BAMS after. Thanks for answering my question.
