Yup, she passed the UST Entrance Test. She applied for the Hotel and Restaurant Management program. And she passed. At least I won't have to worry where about where she'll study. Some consider the HRM program at UST as being the second best in the country, with St. Benilde on the top of the list. This comment was from a UST student, so I would tend to believe him. (Besides, he's got a good rep, he's running for honors in his course.)
Part of the admissions process for the UST HRM program is an interview. Darwi asked if that meant that she was not yet accepted into the program. I think UST has the interview more to get to know the student than for anything else. (Kenneth had an interview before taking the exam at St. Scholastica's College Manila. But that was to see if he really had the aptitude for music and to see if he really wanted to enroll in the course.)
It shouldn't have come as a surprise, but she still wanted to take the exam at PUP, still for the HRM program. Still, I was surprised, though. But she wanted to take the exam at PUP because her classmates were going to take it. Opinions vary about the program, but the majority place PUP in the top 4 schools for that course. I got that opinion without taking into account that I have three brothers who graduated from PUP.
Now, I just wish Darwi also passed the UPCAT. HRM at UST may be good, but UP is UP. And besides her ninang was graduated from HRM at UP. Will have to wait for the results of the UPCAT then.
