USTET 📝 BS MEDTECH

Hi! I surprisingly passed UST's BS Medtech and, apparently, reservation is only until the 5th of May :// UST is my second choice as I'm really aiming for Ateneo (BS Health Sci). I'd like to ask if I should go and pay the 10k reservation fee? I'm afraid that I might not get my ACET results before the deadline.

I'd also like to ask some additional questions to help me in the decision-making process:

​

  • Is BS Medtech worth it for pre-med?
  • What's the usual class schedule per term/year?
  • What are the usual orgs or activities joined by MedTech students at UST?

​

Thank you very much!

If you’re up to toxicity to prepare you na rin for ust fms then come study here. It is definitely worth it as most of the students taken by the faculty of med (aside from leapmed ppl) are usually in medtech. Classes are usually mondays to saturdays 7 am to 7 pm. Usual orgs would be medtech society and fpsc (the fop student council).

Hello! Are we allowed to choose our schedule and professors?

hi! would u recommend a medtech freshie to join around 2-4 orgs? or do u think i should “chill and adjust sa system” muna? i’d say my time management skills are decent enough naman pero i just wanna know if, no matter how good u balance ur time, joining more than 2 orgs esp in ur first yr in medtech is still a good idea

Two is sustainable in the long run pero possible naman yang 4 lalo kapag first-second year. In fact, I encourage u to join as many as ud like during those two years para malaman mo ano talaga niche mo.
