If you plan to go corporate, it matters a lot - I haven't heard of many top officers in the top companies in the country not coming from the top universities. It also helps in building connections, and for your first job, a lot of companies will throw your resume into the bin if you're not from the top universities unless you're a standout.

If you're planning to be a businessman, it doesn't matter much. The most successful businessmen I know rose to where they are not because of their school but because of their inherent business acumen, something school can't teach.

Personally, I value education very highly. I would go to great lengths for my children to go to good schools. I also believe that aside from being a more marketable person in the corporate world, a good university education expands your vision and wisdom to more than what the textbooks offer.

Why are you choosing Letran over the more prominent schools anyway?

Is it a matter of distance (dorm can handle that), finances (scholarship can cover that), or academic insufficiency (hard to hurdle unless you're filthy rich)?

Thanks sir actually I have lame reasons; I have lots of friends in Letran including some profs, my girlfriend, I do not need to study that much compared to Mapua which is really "kailangan mag sunog ng kilay at umiyak ng dugo" , cause of car guys in Letran, Honestly I don't know if I can manage to stay in Mapua( almost all of my friends already left mapua since it was very hard daw)

I know my reasons are very lame. Thinking of studying in Mapua nalang siguro but I gotta study hard talaga. Na halos wala ng social life siguro.
Thanks again sir.

I don't believe that the school you went into will bring you to the top. It's the person's skills and will that will determine a person's success.

It should be "ME" that will carry the name of my school, and not the other way around.

I agree with this too, but iba talaga ang training ng top universities compared to the others.

For me its like a good tuning shop. Whether sports car or econobox, they can maximize the car's potential.

will not bring you to the top but could hinder your full potential.

example: you are a good driver, where will you perform better? on a crappy car or a tuned up car?

[jut703]

Sorry bro pero ang babaw nga. Kung talagang kaibigan mo yung barkada mo, whether Letran ka or Mapua it shouldn't matter.

4 years na pagtitiis (if you wanna put it that way) will help you a lot to jumpstart your career.

Car guys marami yan kahit anong school. ACE in arrneo, DLSU Car Club in lasuhhl, etc etc. Maraming Mapua students dito sa Tsikot board, hanapin mo nalang sila

Kung ganyan kababaw ka mag rason, kahit saang school ka dalhin walang mangyayari.

Para sa akin school doesn't matter although up graduate ako. It's the decisions you make sa kahit saang bagay that really matter.

[Ciz]

Oo nga mga sir sensya sa rason. Marami narin kasi pinagdaanan the past few years halos sumuko narin ako. Kaya siguro naghahanap naman ako ng saya ngayon.

Thanks po mga sir.

San grupo ka? Maldito or swabe? O may mga bago bang grupo dun?

Ano ba yun pinagdaanan mo na sinasabi mo?

No offense. But i agree with everyone ang babaw masyado ng dahilan mo.

Yes school matters yet yung performance mo habang nag aaral it matters too. Ano ba hihingin sayo pag naghanap ka ng trabaho? Diploma at transcript mo. Sa transcript dun naka reflect anong klase kang tao. Numbers don't lie.

Di ako hiningan ng transcript nor diploma sa interview ko. All I showed them was my one-page resume.

It's not the grades alone - that only comprises 1 line in your resume. A lot of my batchmates na super taas ng grades, so-so lang trabaho. Talo sila ng mga batchmate ko na steady yung grades pero backed by org involvement, competitions, and good communication skills.

Sorry for the very late response to this post. What you may be referring to here is the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) & the Emotional Quotient (EQ). I had a HS batchmate who was the class valedictorian & student council president, headed numerous organizations in our HS but he kept mostly to himself (if you ask me, the apt description is, he is "boring"). Last I heard, he never got married, no kids & was just content managing their so-so family business. Two other batchmates who were also very bright, sociable & were athletes in the school became very successful. One is now the CEO of Globe, the other became the President of IBM Philippines. There should be a balance of the IQ & EQ.

Mahaba po sir ang kwento pag tinype ko pa. Ganto nalang po nasabihan po kasi ako mag aabroad at dun nalang mag college. Eh yung tatay ko gumawa ng paraan para hindi ako matuloy sa ibang bansa. So ayun po nagulo na po yung pag aaral ko. Sensya na po sir may kahabaan po talaga yung kwento kung full detail eh.

a diamond cut by an apprentice will maybe shine, a piece of glass cut by a master will sparkle like a gem. it takes both, student and school, for a graduate to stand out above the rest.

if the times were 1986-89, school mattered a lot. pag di ka graduate ng top 3 sa basurahan lang pupunta ang resume mo. ngayon di na masyado.

mapua? quartermester dun. di lang walang social life, baka mag-ipon ka lang ng sinko dun e di masisira lang ang first page ng transcript mo. think hard, kaya mo ba ang quartermester? ang pamangkin ko dun siya ng 1st year, wala naman daw natututunan parang nagfa-fast reading lang yung professor nila sa harap tapos exam na agad. puro sila sinko, may 3 o 4 lang daw na papasa. kaya ayun lumipat sa adamson, masaya siya at naa-appreciate nya yung lessons nila. graduating na ngayon. yun din isang pamangkin ko, yung last year nya na-implement yung quartermester. laking difference daw, yung dati may chance pa sila magtanong sa prof na i-explain ng mabuti pag mahirap yung lesson pero nung quartermester na e para lang daw sila nanunuod ng movie, wala na interaction between students and prof. mahirap e wala din rewind button. so kung wala ka din lang attitude na mag self study ng 18 hours a day e isip ka ng mabuti bago ka mag-enroll.

tignan mo mabuti ang ranking ng mapua. they used to be the #2 or #3 engineering school when it comes to placing and number of passers in the board exams. ngayon ano ranking nila? #17? i am not trying to put down mapua. what i do not like about them is that MAPUA COMMERCIALISED EDUCATION SO MUCH THAT THEY SACRIFIECED THEIR STUDENTS AND REPUTATION FOR THE SAKE OF PROFIT.

Hi, agree nagtataka rin talaga ako parang 80% na yata ng kakilala ko sa mapua nagsilipatan na. Sabi ng iba sa engineering daw konti lang ang pinapasa ng mga prof.

Pero ttry ko narin ang Mapua. I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying. Yun nga lang ang daming negative comments about sa mapua. Bukas ko na malalaman if approve kay vice pres.

Does school really matter?

not for me... nasa tao yun. on how one packages oneself (communication skills, appearance, confidence). kung di ka OA or trying hard mag-english saka superficial or canned ang mga sagot mo sa interview, saka hindi shabby ka manamit (proper combination/color ng suot mo), bad posture and that aura na di ka maangas/presko o sobrang takot sa interview... makakalusot ka.

siguro it does nung mga early 90's up to early 2000's. although may mga mangilan-ilang mga narrow minded companies na namimili pa din ng applicants from top colleges/universities.

Not to be judgmental to other schools, pero pansin ko na on average, yung mga galing sa top university din naman talaga yung may communication skills, marunong magdala ng sarili, may depth ang sagot sa interview, at hindi trying hard. Even within a school, may mga courses na on average mas magaling ang students compared sa ibang courses.

Again, on average ha. Hindi ko nilalahat. Kaya ang advice ko eh kung pwede namang pagandahin yung chances by going into a good school, bakit hindi? Kung masipag at magaling ka talaga, makakapasok at makakapasok ka.
