Entrance exam update

My daughter took an entrance test in a university in Manila last year. She passed the IQ, Math, English and Science tests but her scores did not meet the school’s required cut-off scores. Even if she qualifies to enroll we may not be able to send her to that school because we cannot afford the tuition fee.

Last Saturday, she took another exam for a different school. My daughter said the test was much easier compared to the first one. And they waited for less than an hour to get the result. She passed the entrance examination and qualified for admission. This university offers the course that she wants to pursue. We will try to look for a scholarship to assist us with the expenses. I know it’s going to be tough for all of us next school year.

Applied for entrance exam

My daughter submitted an application form to a Manila university for entrance examination. Good thing she was accompanied by her classmate and best friend who also took the entrance test a few weeks ago. I know that in time my daughter will learn to commute on her own. She is scheduled to take her entrance test on September 30.

As for program preferences, she chose advertising under the college of architecture and fine arts and architecture under the college of architecture and fine arts as well. I’ve written in a previous post about her interest to take up fine arts. She doesn’t want to take up a course that will require her to solve numbers. She loves to draw and perhaps design a Tube Bending machine in the future.

College course

My daughter is really interested to take up Fine Arts in college. Hubby and I tried to persuade her to take up something else, but she won’t change her mind she still wants to pursue Fine Arts after high school. Her older cousin is also convincing her to consider Computer Science, but my daughter is not interested in taking mathematical courses or subjects that deal with software similar to attendance software from Gneil.com. She’d probably take up anything except a math course. She loves to draw and she wanted to explore the craft by taking up Fine Arts.
