Please for god sake, stop posting that it shows that you are not even from Lasalle
being a Thomasian and a Lasallian ( high school years)- kahet kailan hinde ako naging katulad mo!!
UST is not a BOBo School, actually UST has been included in the 2 major surveys that indicates the ranking of each school in the whole WORLD
in ASIA WEEK RANKINGs: 2000
UP
DLSU
ADMU
UST
in THES rankings-2006
UP
DLSU
ADMU
UST
as what you can see, UST still is not at par with DLSU AND ADMU
wag kang masyadong mag hangin
It may be easy for you to get into UST, but staying in UST is an entirely different matter
UST does not accept the best students, we make them actually
for an example, the mortality rate here in UST is very high, let me first enumerate further, by what do i mean by my statement
in UST if you gained 9 units of deficiencies or let us say, failures for the whole year which includes the 2 semsters, you will be expelled ot DEBARRED at the end of the school year, meaning you will not be able to enroll again next school year
one more example, during my freshman year, we are a total of 110 students in our batch, but when i reached my third year, 42 students nalang kami, yung iba na tanggal
I dont know, kung inggit lang yan, or what have you
kahit na underrated ang UST sa other big 3 schools, makikita mo parin ang performance ng school sa various board exams.
