TAKING UP MASTER'S DEGREE

[Chinito]

^would like to know too but based on my backreading and researc na rin for MBA ito ah:
Ateneo-3k per unit
Dlsu-1500-2k per unit
UPD-1k/ unit

correct me if i'm wrong mga sis.. tips na rin on entrance exams

based on backreading na rin mukang okay ang three schools when it comes to mba programs.. Still, would like to try in UST or San Beda..mukang affordable ang programs nila..

Pano pala when the transcript is not so okay no failing grades naman but
not a dean's lister.. Like for San Beda, they have a requirement of an average of 85%

UST - 14k na yata for 2 subjects = 4-6 units. 2010 i took the exam and pass it was my 2nd choice, 2 part din ang exam at di gaano mahirap, sakto lang.

Ateneo - 23k+, 2 subject lang yon 4-5 units. but i'm sure you'll be getting what you paid for.


Ang exam ay depende po sa kukunin mong masters, like in Ateneo, if you gonna take MBA regis, Standard MBA etc. mag kaka iba level ng exams. but my exam in ateneo is somewhat challenging. just back read on my previous tip about Ateneo exam.

If you guys are conscious  about the budget better try it in uste!

hi! just had my entrance exam yesterday at DLSU. Planning to take up MS in Psych major in Industrial/Organizational Psych. There were 4 sets of test - linguistics, quantitative, essay at yung test abt psych theories, etc na 100 items. medyo nahirapan ako sa quantitative because i forgot na the principles behind - for example d ko na alam magsolve ng equation. yung pscyh exam naman medyo limot ko na dn ang ang psych theories. me bumabagsak ba dun sa entrance exam mga sisses?
re fees: i asked and per unit at DLSU is 1400+ daw. so 6 units would cost around 15k daw including misc. expenses.

Hi sis! I'm planning to take mba sa dlsu. so ang set of exams pala dun depends on the mba program you want to take?

[Maycon]

yes sis. we're grouped according to the degree that we intend to take. for MBA i think there is onyl 1 set of exam which is good for 2.5 hrs. this i heard when the proctor is giving directions as to the test.

thanks for that info! MS in Financial Eng kasi ang plan ko to take. Uhm, submission of checklist requirements ba muna before you take the exam? or after you passed it?

[Maycon]

i think pwede naman to follow yung ibang requirements. in my case some of the requirements are still on process. they said lang that i need to comply with all the requirements before they can forward the papers to the college where the course belongs.

what do you think sa mga bata pa nag mag tatake ng master's degree? i plan to enroll next year, I'm 20 years old by that time.

Is it too early you think?

I plan to take MBA Masters in Business Administration, accountancy po kasi tinapos ko.

^ In some schools like AIM and UP if I am not mistaken, it is required that you should have at least a few years of work experience.  In my opinion, mas maganda kasing naka-work ka muna bago ka mag-MBA para mas makikita and ma-appreciate mo ang application ng theories and cases na matututunan mo in grad school at mas makakapag-contribute ka sa class and case discussions.

anyone enrolling next school year for MTM in UP Diliman?

Gano katagal na experience kaya like 6 months pwede na ba? Kung makakapag work na ko now sa june 2013 i have at least 6 months experience. Kung sa june 2014 ako mag masters 21 years old na ko by that time i have at least 1 year and 6 months experience ok na kaya yun?

Gusto ko po kasi sana maaga ako matapos ng masters kaya i plan to take as soon as possible. Ok lang kaya or should i wait for a few years?

[marose17]

^ Sa AIM at least 2 years of work experience ang kailangan if you wish to apply in their MBA program.

I'd say wait a few years.  Your MBA will be a much more enriching experience if you have worked a few years and spent time meeting people from various backgrounds and different positions.

What if you passed the exam pero di ka tumuloy sa enrolment, do you have to re-take the exam ba?

[Miss Charcoal]

Strict ba talaga sa grades? UP and UST lang kasi nag ooffer na related sa course ko..Gustung gusto ko sana. :/

[crazychick]

@hermione28 - sa UP ang alam ko 2 years experience minimum if you're going to school full time tapos 3 years kung part time.

[ReservoirDogs]

@agape, I think some schools pwede ka mag-defer (like in ADMU); just inform the registrar.  No need to re-take the entrance exam.  I'm not sure about other schools, though.

[hotchick_19]

eh mga sis, how about PUP? okay kaya ang masteral dito? kasi ive heard nasa 10k++ lang ang tuition for full load. eh yung quality ng education kaya. balak kasi namin ni hubby sabay magmasteral. eh budget wise okay samin ang PUP yun nga lang okay kaya dun ang MBA at Masters in IT?? Feedback naman po. TIA 

[hermione28]

@hermione28 - sa UP ang alam ko 2 years experience minimum if you're going to school full time tapos 3 years kung part time.

ah sige sis ask ko nalang din sa school ko kung ano required nila, sa Arellano University ako papasok, sa Undergrad school ko din, para gamay ko na, di na ko maninibago. mag part time lang ako, I'm not in a rush. ang gusto ko lang makapag start na.

Panu yung process ng enrollment ng MBA sa PLM?

Thanks po! ^^

[lanee_beu]

hi mga sis, I'm planning to take my MBA at UP manila or UST. any tips in their entrance exams? may interview rin ba? TIA

[hermione28]

re fees: i asked and per unit at DLSU is 1400+ daw. so 6 units would cost around 15k daw including misc. expenses.

sis ganito lang ba talaga yung tuition? kasi nakita ko sa website ng UST
6 units
Tuition 11,466.00
Misc 4,288.00
Other 5,760.00
Total 21,514.00

mas mura pa DLSU?


Ask ko na din, if sa UST ako kuha ng MBA tapos MBA-Non Thesis kukunin ko, OK lang ba yun? di ba nakakahiya na umiiwas ka sa thesis? is there a big difference sa MBA at MBA Non Thesis?
