Each year, rich students make up the majority of the summa cum laude of UP Diliman. Let's call it jealousy, but it's genuine envy since they don't have to worry about expenditures for four years because they are wealthy, and all they have to do is study and study, unlike other ISKO who have to study and work to support for their educational needs.

As an alumni, I think when our professors remind us that only around 10% of UPCAT takers pass, it's a fact and it's not meant to give us a superiority complex. There is a pressure to do better because a UP education is tax-funded.

Hi, I'm an incoming Grade 12 student and willing to take UPCAT this Year or nonetheless maybe next year because of this amid Pandemic, I can't afford review centers and just an average student ranging my grades from 92 to 93, I'm in a sector of poverty in Visayan Region, and my Mother is jobless while my Father works in a private company with a 3k salary in a month, well thats life some are privilege and others aren't, Just pray for me to pass UPCAT so that I can continue my college bachelor course, Pray for me to pass, with my determination and Hardwork I can do it, I just want to serve our country and help the unprivileged sector here in our country 🌻❤

yo i suggest SAT reviewers na pwede mong ma download sa pdfdrive.com, medyo advanced yung lessons nila pero base sa grades mo, kayang kaya mo yun. Sobrang ganda nung lessons nila sa maths, science, and english and the best part libre lang sila. Kaya natin to dude.

I think it's not superiority in a bad sense, you feel superior because among the hundreds of thousands of applicants, isa ka sa iilang pumasa. And yes, if a freshman enters the university with that feeling, just let the student savor the moment.

The topic regarding privilege, delivered really well. Decent content. Keep up!

Agree sa last part, it's more about knowing your privilege and using it to help others! 💯

I am a student from UPLB & I learned a lot! Thank you for this.

Yasssss naman!! I'm literally watching all ur UP videos. Hahahaha

hellooo! i just want to point out some things :>. Enrolling in a review class does not necessarily equates to being rich, but it's true na it is a privilege. I enrolled kasi alam kong state uni ang kaya namin, hindi kaya ng family ko yung 50k-100k na tuition 👁️👄👁️lol. Another reason is that (you're right) public school system is a mess, may hierarchy at priorities na students pa rin. Kung sino lang matatalino sila lang pinagtutuunan ng pansin, considering na state uni CETs and scholarships are competitive asf. yeaa but i'm still unsure kung papasa ba ako, lalo na UPCAT :

watching this after up bor’s decision to push through with the semester despite the united calls to end it just hits different 🤠

I like this vlog because it is critical of the different cultures and ideals that proliferate in UP. As an alumna, I think what better way to heal us of these social wounds is to maintain humility by not thinking that we are above "others." It's just an unhealthy mindset and not something to be proud of. We can still maintain excellence in the things we do even without thinking much highly of ourselves. No one likes a braggart at the top of the monkey tree. lol

Thank you po Kuya Max for sharing your thoughts about UP Culture po✨

Just watched this. I think corruption does not depend on the school you graduated from, it’s in individuals. Lots of people who came from other universities regardless kung high ranking or not unfortunately turned to be corrupt din if they immersed themselves too much in the system government man or nongovernment and yes may corruption din sa mga NGO, it depends. Siguro pitfall of thinking lang and nagseset ng standard yung mga tao na kapag UP Grad ay hindi dapat corrupt when in fact, we as citizens of this country should never at all cost embody corruption.

Their tiny, inflated egos are going to shrink when reality hits them.

The UP and others is a joke and if people think otherwise, they prolly are the arrogant students who think that by coming to UP, they are already the best (give them a few years and they will get it out of their system). UP was a humbling experience. You may come in as arrogant but you're surrounded by brilliant people and you'll realize that you're a nobody and you can only try your best. (sometimes even giving your best isn't enough. #slighthugot) LOL. Also, I haven't met an arrogant UP graduate (which is weird because I have met arrogant graduates from other universities). Good luck in your BAA journey! I hope you get to finish it (unless you realize want to shift out, which is perfectly fine)! :)

I said privileged not rich. My dad is an OFW and my mom is a housewife. I studied in a science high school because my parents can’t afford paying for a private high school. I was only able to study in DLSU-SHS because of a full scholarship. DLSU’s tuition is 150K per school year, that’s beyond our financial capabilities. I’m not a rare case, many students follow this path: Sci High for Junior High School then either Ateneo SHS, DLSU-SHS, or USTSHS for SHS. All these schools groom students to pass UPCAT. To answer your question, honestly, no, I wouldn’t be able to afford most univs here in NCR without a scholarship.

The thing is being middle class just means being able to eat well and have complete amenities in the Philippines. But university education? Too expensive. Hence, even UP does not truly cater to the impoverished poor due to them having even less resources to develop with.

Hii average ko nun is 95 (galing ako sa Private SHS kaya lenient sila sa grades), pagkakatanda ko kasi part talaga ng computation grades mo from JHS-SHS. Tas I think may bonus din if top 10% ka daw sa class (top 2 ako nun). IIRC, 40% JHS-SHS grades and 60% UPCAT Score. Pero kasi I took the UPCAT nung face-to-face pa, not sure if iba na yung rules ngayon. Average lang IQ ko (yess nag-legit IQ test before) so don't worry, nag-shotgun din lang ako noon sa Math and Science portion nung UPCAT (lol pang-STEM kasi ung mga tanong, eh nag-ABM ako), but here I am :> good luck!!
