School opening na in a week or two. Most students are already enrolled by this time. I'm pretty sure most are done with shopping for school supplies. That's how we typically prepare for the new school year. But how much planning do we do in choosing our or our children's school?
When I was in 4th yr high school, undecided na nga ako sa course na kukunin ko, pano ko pa kaya pag-iisipan ang school pa papasukan ko. Basta ang gusto ko sa Maynila para naman maging Manila-girl ako (nakakaputi daw ang tubig NAWASA). I knew only 5 schools for college. I ended up in MIT because my sister's best friend studies there. Nag-BSIE na rin ako kasi yun din ang course ni Irene (mahihiram ko yung books and OTs nya).
I realized the importance of coming from a good school after college. Sometimes you see in the ads that employers prefer graduates of big universities. Minsan pa nga nilalagay yung schools na preferred nila. Pambihira, di pa nga nila nakikita yung applicante, reject na agad.
Recently, I got this email about the tops schools in the Philippines (although no confirmation from CHED). Nakakagulat kasi di naman pala kailangang lumuwas ng Maynila o kaya magbayad ng pesoses para magkaron ng de-kalidad na edukasyon.

Buti na lang kahit pang-17 eh nasali ang alma mater ko. Feeling ko kasi mentally tortured ang mga estudyante dito tapos ang mahal pa ng tuition. Pag di pa naman sya nasama sa listahan, malamang pumayag na akong palitan ang name nya to Malayan Univ.

Maganda naman tlga ang Mapua, yung mga kakilala kong nagtapos diyan tatahi-tahimik lang pero matitinik. Ayun sa awa ng Diyos nasa US na din, dun na-assign hanggang dun na din tumira. Pag pinalitan ng pangalan, di kaya maka-cause ng confusion. Sayang may "reputation" na ang Mapua tapos bigla gagawing Malayan.
mit grad ka pala. ang dad ko grad din ng mit, class of 1951 yata and placed 6th in the civil engg board exam.
jinkee, alam mo ba kung alin sa list na ito ang recognize ng nz immigration?
btw your site is very helpful for those applying to come to nz. parati ko ngang ni-rerefer ito sa mga nagtatanong sa akin e. good work. keep it up.
Sassafras,
Salamat sa pagbisita. Marami akong kilala na papetiks-petiks lang nung college pero mga successful na ngayon. Malaki rin ang naitulong nung mga berdugo naming instructors.

Ka Uro,
Ang galing naman ng tatay mo. No wonder sikat yung construction company nila.
Kasama sa reconized ang Mapua, Ateneo, UP (paaralan mo), UST at DLSU. I'll email you the complete list.
BTW, not all from these recognized schools get exemption from NZQA. On the interview stage, some are advised to get NZQA assessment. Kapag medyo mababa ata ang GPA, doon pinapakuha ng assessment.
Hello ms. jinkee. I was reading your posts. Hope you dont mind. Nakita ko yung about Intramuros. So i was wondering kung saang school ka until i read this particular article...Schoolmate pala kita! It's been a long time since I went there...talaga may Starbucks na? The last i remember is the McDonald's dun sa front and it's always crowded. Maswerte ka kapag dumating ka dun at may mauupuan ka at walang pila. Hehehe..
Hi Bluegreen,
Malamang mas batang batch ka sa akin (BSIE '91). McDo was still on the planning stage when I graduated. Nung bumalik ako a year later, may Mcdo na. Starbucks is near Letran.
BSChE 96 po...konti diperensya lang hehehe...mind if i link you sa blog ko? I saw you sa blog ni flex j. my url is http://bluegreen-thoughts.blogspot.com
Godbless and i hope okay na health condition mo...
Nag-abot pala tayo ng isang sem. Nov 1991 kasi ako umalis sa colegio. It's my honor na mai-link mo :-)
Malamang nagkakasalubong tayo kaya lang ang departments natin dulo-dulo hehehe..nasa north ako nasa south kayo. Hay ano na kaya itsura ng MIT? Kukuha uli ako ng transcript na marami bago palitan ang name heheheh...
