I really can’t say. It’s best that you call UST as soon as possible to inquire about this. I wish you good luck!

It might still be on its way. Just to be safe, though, please call UP Office of Admissions to follow up on your letter. You should also ask your school; UP could have sent the letters meant for you and your classmates to your school address.

It’s either pass or fail. As long as pasok yung scores mo sa TUP required score/scores, then it should be okay. Kung hindi naman, then kailangan mong kausapin yung TUP for your options.

Thanks for sharing. Hope you’ll come back again and again to share more information and insight.

Your suggestion will definitely be taken into consideration when next we go over and revise our top school posts. Thanks for your feedback.

Mapua has provincial testing centers. Unfortunately, each provincial testing center has only one testing date. I’ve updated the above post with that information, so check it out.

I visited Job Street and did a quick survey of the currently available jobs in the field of Design and Architecture and I found 1021 results. This indicates that yes, there are lots of job opportunities. Of course, the desirability of one job opportunity as compared to another is a matter of personal taste.

I emailed the UPSE grad office and even though they’re probably very busy, they were still kind enough to give us a reply (and a very prompt one at that). To quote their reply:

Our exam is somewhat similar to GRE plus some questions about general economics. Typical coverage is reading comprehension, analytical exercises, and writing of essay on certain economic topics.

So there; that’s from the UPSE grad department, so that should help you prepare for the entrance exam. Good luck!

UPSE as in UP School of Economics? If yes, I assume you already submitted your graduate school application (deadline January 31, 2012)? As for entrance exam tips, I have none to give (unfortunately) since that’s not my graduate program and when I applied for mine, I didn’t have to take an entrance test (I had to go to a series of interviews, though). I suppose, however, that the entrance test would be mostly focused on economics and mathematics.

In any case, hope someone from the UPSE graduate program would read this and give you entrance exam tips. I’ll also try to email the UPSE grad department; just hope they’ll reply.
