For the huge, yellow tarp: BRAIN TRAIN’s 2012 UPCAT Passers List

For more than a decade now, BRAIN TRAIN Tutorial and Review regularly publicizes its list of UPCAT passers. The names of UPCAT passers are placed on a huge, yellow tarpaulin and posted in every BRAIN TRAIN review venue. What was supposed to be just an advertisement turned out to be a tourist spot! We’ve seen several BRAIN TRAIN UPCAT passers posing beside this huge yellow tarpaulin, and even making it their profile pic on Facebook! Sometimes, motorists even stop and stare at the list, looking for a familiar name. Apparently, we didn’t expect that seeing their child’s name on this yellow tarp means so much to parents. In fact, about 2-3 years ago, a father called us asking why her Brain Trainee daughter who passed UP Diliman wasn’t on the tarp. We apologized for the oversight, but he insisted we put her daughter’s name on the tarp…dream daw nilang makita yung name ng anak nila sa yellow tarp na yun (mas importante pa sa website ng UPCAT, haha)! So we did on the tarp that is in their municipality. After a week, we received another call again…bakit daw wala sa tarp na nasa Calamba! Nung dumaan daw siya, hinanap niya dun! Haha. We were amused, even flattered that the BRAIN TRAIN yellow tarp is a HUGE deal. My mom told me that it indeed is a HUGE deal, and that we SHOULD add the name. At that time, Randy and I still do not have our Raviv, so I guess we weren’t that sensitive to parents’ feelings.

BRAIN TRAIN Family (wala ako!) against the 2011 Yellow Tarpaulin

When the 2012 UPCAT results were released last week, we received so many “thank-you” comments on Facebook., and even “thank-you” phone calls. One parent I talked to (barely 24 hours after the release of the UPCAT results) told me that she can’t help calling us and dropping a word of gratitude.

Mother of Brain Train UPCAT passer: ”May tarp na ba kayo ng passers sa may Real (Calamba City)? Dadaan dun mamaya ‘yung mga kamag-anak ko, sabi ko tingnan”.

Me: (smiling) “Wala pa po, uumpisahan pa lang po namin maghanap.”

Mother of Brain Train UPCAT passer: “Naku excited na ako makita ang pangalan ng anak ko.”

Me: ”Ah mga next week po siguro. Marami nga rin pong mag gusto nun, yung iba nga po nagrereklamo pag accidentally hindi namin naisasama yung name”

Mother of Brain Train UPCAT passer: “Ay s’yempre naman! Kaya ilista mo na ang pangalan anak ko ha, baka hindi pa maisali. Ang name niya ay ***********. Make sure isali nyo ha?”

Me: ”Opo Ma’am. I-post na rin po niya sa Facebook ng Brain Train Review Center yung name niya para hindi mawala.”

Mother of Brain Train UPCAT passer: “O sige sasabihin ko. Pero uulitin ko ang pangalan ng anak ko ha, ***********. Don’t forget iha!”

===================================================

Anyway, our staff gathered the names of the 2012 BRAIN TRAIN UPCAT passers. Here they are. Please check your/your friend’s/your child’s name, as this list will be the basis of THE tarpaulin. If our staff missed it, please put the name on the comment section so we could include it.

From all your Brain Train teachers, a thunderous “CONGRATULATIONS” to all of you! Thank you for getting that BRAIN TRAIN advantage! Mwah!

UPCAT Result 2012

This is IT! THIZ IZ REALLY IZ IT IZ IT! This is the day that the Lord has made where about 10,000 high school seniors are rejoicing, but around 60,000 are in sorrow.

UPCAT Result 2012

I feel both. In fact, I feel everything that UPCAT takers have felt today. When I heard that the UPCAT results are out, I got excited and anxious, and couldn’t wait to check it out. But before I did, a mom of my student last summer called me. She told me that her son passed the UPCAT, and thanked me profusely. You see, I talked to this mom just yesterday. She was worried that her son might not pass the UPCAT, but grateful that I personally assisted her son prior to the UPCAT. Her son is very diligent and really smart, but seemingly has problems when taking standardized tests under time pressure. I could not bear it if he won’t pass the UPCAT, thus I went the extra mile to assist him weeks before the UPCAT. And now, he did pass the UPCAT! Praise God! So I was very happy. My happiness furthered when I saw the several messages akin to this on the BRAIN TRAIN Facebook Fan Page:

upcat passers message on the BRAIN TRAIN Fanpage

But then, of course, not all of our students could pass the UPCAT. When I searched for the names of some students who I especially wanted to pass the UPCAT (of course I want EVERY ONE of our students to pass the UPCAT but there are some who I think really deserve to) and didn’ t find them, my heart started bleeding. Seriously. Dumudugo talaga ang puso para sa kanila. I honestly feel ashamed of myself—nagawa ko na ba lahat? Baka kung sinabi ko ‘to, or ginawa ko ‘to, baka pumasa siya. I fear that they would blame me and my colleagues for not passing the UPCAT, and that when I bump onto them on the streets, I’d run out of words to say, even with my natural kadaldalan. Because what do I tell them? Do I tell them, “Hindi mo kasi ginalingan siguro.” or “Hindi ka siguro nakinig sa akin ‘no?” Or if I tell them, “Baka pasok ka sa waitlist”, would that appease them and give them further hope (although of course, you know that despite not being on THE list, there are several ways of still getting in. Alam na ninyo ‘yun, di ba?) But for now, I guess I just have to say, “I did my best, I really did. If you did your best, your absolute best, then you should have no regrets. I am sorry that you did not make it, but my regard for you did not decrease. In fact, I dare tell UP: ‘Shame, shame! You should’ve gotten him/her! What a loss–you don’t know what you missed, UP!’”.

While passing the UPCAT makes one a step nearer to having a great career and people thinking of you highly, it’s JUST A STEP. UPCAT passers, remember how much you wanted this moment…‘yung ia-update mo ‘yung Facebook profilemo at lalabas sa News Feeds at Top Stories ng lahat ng friends mo na, “Blah blah blah added the University of the Philippines to his schools”. Saya ‘di ba? But again, it does not end there. You are just beginning. I know for a fact that the intellectual freedom (and for many, the freedom from parents) that UP offers can make you or break you. And because your tuition fee will be partly (or wholly) shouldered by the sambayang Pilipino, make sure you make yourself worthy. I am not being holier-than-thou here. Honestly, I was the opposite of what I’m advocating you to be when I was in college. And it did not take me long to regret it. I guess that’s one of the reasons why I devoted myself to working in an NGO for quite a while, sa arte kong ‘to.

Graduating from UP will be a huge advantage–that’s a fact. But, that’s just what it is–AN ADVANTAGE. It does not necessarily define you. Remember, the Sorting Hat also told Harry Potter ”You could be great, you know, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that.” Meaning, Harry still would have been great even if he ended up in Slytherin. Or notice that even if he didn’t go to Slytherin (the house that was supposed to be the bridge to make him great), he still became great. And, both Ninoy (not P-Noy) Aquino and Ferdinand Marcos were UP alumni, but history describes them very disparately.

Basta UPCAT passers, please remember that UP was created to produce quality graduates who are supposed to help make the Philippines…again, the PHILIPPINES, a better place. Tandaan ‘yan!

Pending and Degree Program with Available Slots Stories

By Dewmaine Sales-Ladaga

I’m reposting what I’ve posted on my earlier blog entry, “Pasa ba ang Pending? Eh ang Degree Program with Available Slot?” And Other UPCAT Results-Related Questions. These are actually my replies to the questions posted under the comments section of that entry, based on the answers given to me by my friend and niece. I realized that despite my assurances that those that are pending are still passers and already have slots, many are still scared (or perhaps too excited). So to, hopefully, appease you, here are my friend’s and niece’s kwento’s about their personal experiences:

PENDING CASE. My classmate was also pending when she passed the UPCAT. I don’t remember her panicking–we knew she PASSED. She just told me that she’s annoyed there’s the word “pending” across her name on the passers’ list. I asked her to recount how she resolved her “pending case”, and here’s what she said:

Hi Dewmaine, di ko na matandaan kung ano yung kulang na requirement sakin, si mommy kase nagayos. . What I do remember is that hindi na ‘ko ininterview whatsoever.
Pero yung youngest sister ko, pending din yun sa Diliman, birth certificate ata kulang.
Sorry for the unclear answers. It’s been soooooo long ago

See? But I don’t blame you guys…parang nakakatakot nga namang pakinggan ‘yung “pending case”, parang maycrime kang ginawa eh, haha! Parang UP is saying, “Oo, pasa ka pero suspect ka sa isang grave offense and until you prove you’re not guilty, we don’ guarantee we will accept you!” Di ba? Sana ibahin na lang ng UP ang tawag.

DEGREE PROGRAM WITH AVAILABLE SLOT. This was my cousin’s case last year. She’s now a freshie at UPLB, BS Biology. In her UPCAT application form, the courses she listed were: BS Biology (1st choice) and BS Chemsitry (2nd choice). Here’s her story:

‘Pag po dumating na po yung letter na galing sa campus na pinasahan nila, tinatanong po dun yung [new] 1st and 2nd desired course choices nila. Ang inilagay ko po bio at chem pa rin [respectively, like on her application form]. Tapos ime-mail po ulit yung letter dun sa campus. Ino-notify po after a month kung pasok po dun sa isa sa nilagay mo po na courses. Kung after one month wala pa din po, pwede i-email ang registrar [ng campus] para tanungin po kung ano’ng course ang ibinigay nila for you.
In my case po, natagalan po yung pag-notify kaya in-email ko po yung registrar para ma-approve po yung course. May cases din po na sa mga inilagay mong course [new], wala pa ding slot. Kaya po kailangan ma-approve ASAP.

Ano OK na ba people? Hope I’ve finally appeased you. When you resolve your issues, kindly post your stories here too. Hoy ha, nagtiyaga akong gumawa nito to help you guys…share your stories too so we could help future UPCAT passers.

Pero yung youngest sister ko, pending din yun sa Diliman, birth certificate ata kulang.
Sorry for the unclear answers. It’s been soooooo long ago

First, congratulations to the new Iskolars ng Bayan! Mabuhay kayo! And thank you for entrusting your UPCAT review with BRAIN TRAIN. To those who did not make it, don’t despair! Get your UPG and see if you’d be eligible for reconsideration or waitlist.

We have been receiving plenty of phone calls and messages on Facebook regarding the 2012 UPCAT results. To avoid redundancy, we have decided to compile your questions. Please share this as well.

FAQ 1: Where can we find the list of UPCAT passers?

Ans: Go to http://upcat.up.edu.ph/results/ and click the set where your LAST NAME may be included. If you’re having trouble going to this site, you may go to its mirror sites, http://upcat.pregi.net/, http://upcat.stickbreadsolutions.com/, andhttp://www.creativepointonline.com/upcat/

FAQ 2: My name is on the UPCAT passers list, but there is no campus and course across it. Instead, across it is **Pending Case. Am I a passer?

Ans: Heave a sigh of relief because yes, you’re an UPCAT passer! After all, your name is ON THE PASSERS LIST, remember? If you looked up the double asterisks (**) below, it says:

**Pending cases are not guaranteed admission into any campus/college of the University of the Philippines. For pending cases, all deficient requirements must be submitted on or before the 2nd week of March, 2012. For further details, please inquire at the UP Office of Admissions, Diliman, QC at Telefax no 9274561 or Tel no. (02)981-8500 loc. 3826 to 3831 starting on the first week of February, 2012.

See? It says you have to submit your deficient requirements. I repeat, deficient requirements. It could be that there’s something missing from your high school records, or clarifications about your birth certificate. So what are you waiting for? Call now!

FAQ 3: My name is on the UPCAT passers list, and although I already have a campus assigned to me, my course is “Degree Program with Available Slot”. What does this mean?

Ans: It means you made the cutoff score of your choice campus. Unfortunately, both of the courses you listed (in the campus you got into) were in demand, and the slots for these courses have been filled up by others who scored better than you did in the UPCAT. Or it could also be that these courses have high cutoff grades (as a whole or per subtest) and yours didn’t make it. But there’s no need to worry because you will be prioritized when these others don’t confirm their enrollment. Usually, you’ll get into your first choice anyway.

FAQ 4: I had a change of heart. You see, I just wanted to know whether I’d make the cut in UP Diliman. And I did! But now that I do, I realized I want to study in UP Los Banos. Is that feasible?

Ans: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Pride! According to an article I’ve read on academic-clinic.com, it is feasible (but not the other way around…no way you could transfer to Diliman if you already have a slot in other campuses, even though your UPG made it to Diliman. That is, unless you’re an Oblation scholar…ikaw na ang UPCAT Top 50!) But I’ve just called UPLB Registrar’s Office, and the person I talked to said “No, you can’t transfer to UPLB if you already have a slot in Diliman.” I know for a fact that Academic Clinic is a credible source and its articles are research-based. So I suggest that you call UP Diliman yourself, never mind the possible bucket passing and busy and on hold tones.

FAQ 5: I did not pass the UPCAT. Can I still get into UP?

Ans: Yes, yes, yes! If you just weren’t that depressed after not seeing your name on the passers’ list and looked further below, you would have read this:

INFORMATION FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO DID NOT QUALIFY THROUGH THE UPCAT

If you did not make it to either of your campus choices you have two options:

FIRST: You can try other UP campuses IF:

1 your UPG is within their cut-off, and

2 they still have available slots.

Present your Non-Qualifier’s Slip (which has been sent to you in the mail and which indicates your UPG) to the Office of the Registrar of the campus you want to enter. There is NO guarantee of acceptance as each campus makes its own decisions according to its own criteria.

SECOND: If no UP campus can accommodate you, you may enroll in a college or university other than UP. After earning at least 33 academic units with a weighted average of 2.00 or better in the UP marking system, you may apply for transfer into a UP campus.

(By the way, UP Diliman almost never entertains waitlist/reconsideration.)

I know this is quite tedious, but I assure you it’s worth all the trouble. After all, UP is UP is UP!
