Planning to transfer to The Ateneo

[Nade]

Credentials:

- from UA&P
- flunked Physics
- my grades range from 2.5 to 1.25 (Physics, of course, is excluded)
- active in extra-curricular activities
- officer in some organizations
- have garnered awards from non-academic contests

What else? Anybody, help me please. How about stories of transfer students you know? Share!

- I also write and also I also perform quite well in my orgs. Will these things help?

Please. Your answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

(I took the ACET last January 14, 2007) :)

just do what other ateneans had done - look for a friend who knows a friend who knows a friend that can back you up and before you know it, you're in

Haha. Nice, but apparently, the friends I know do not actually know 'anyone' in Ateneo. And as much as possible, I want to get in because I am a qualified applicant and not because of anything else.

Thanks! :)

Hi. Thanks, I've been visiting this site since last year. :) :)

Where are the Ateneans? Calling student_01...

[i_am_boredumb]

As far as I know, they just check your transcript and not anything else so extra curricular activities may not help. They look for a GWA of 1.75 or above. Two years ago, seven of my friends transferred to Kalayaan College, stayed there for a year where they were able to reach above the GWA requirement of ateneo for transferees. The year after that, they were all accepted and some of their subjects got credited. They are all ateneans now. You might consider that option just in case you don't get accepted immediately.

Wow. It's pretty high. I didn't know this before. The site didn't mention of anything like this unlike La Salle's, which explicitly states that transfer applicants must have a GPA of 2.5 and without any failure. Shux, I'm getting frustrated. Anyway, THANK YOU!

How about more stories that will further discourage me, anyone? Hahaha. Joke lang. But just keep them coming. :) Thanks again!

No, that won't work. Hindi umuubra ang palakasan sa Ateneo kapag hindi ka pasado sa standards nila. May kaibigan ako kumuha pa nga ng recommendation letter sa isang Cabinet official na alumni hindi umubra eh.

who told you that the GPA requirement for transferees in DLSU is 2.5? it's actually 85% or its equivalent, so in the traditional grading system, I think that translates to 2.0.

Ah. Yeah. Sorry about that. :) But I guess it's a 2.25 for UA&P. :)

you can still come back... subukan mo lang. pasok ka sa isang course na medyo malayo sa kinuha mo... yung tipong hindi mo naman naisip kunin. kaya lang baka mag1st year ka uli.

Hm, what do you mean by coming back? Hm. Actually, the course I chose in Ateneo (the one I had written in the form) is Comtech, then AB Comm na ata, then Mgt. I don't know eh, will it really help if I apply for courses that are less popular? Hm. And on being a first year again, actually, it doesn't make any difference since UAP has not assigned us (1st and 2nd yr students) to any specific course yet. So yun, no majors yet for me. Thanks for the reply :)

ewan ko lang ha...pero that 85% is not applicable to all... masyadong mababa.. ***** if your coming from UP or Ateneo... pwede pa.. pero kung galeng ka ng UST, San Beda, St Scho... mga 90% or something... but then kung galeng ka ng ibang schools like... feu, ceu etc.. dapat deans lister ka sa school mo tapos may series of interviews pa before you can transfer... ;)

[clawed_out]

^ oh really? :lol:

How do you know?

Ah. Thanks for that, but I think you were talking about La Salle there. :) Though in fairness to La Salle, I think they treat each and every applicant equally naman. :)

[kurachito]

^^ subukan mo AB social science... napaka layo nun sa physics... tapos after one year ka na lang lumipat sa gusto mo.

You are enjoying your new identity. An Atenean pretending to be a Thomasian.:rotflmao:

Na research DAW at sumakay naman ikaw at yung ibang gustong tirahin ang Ateneo. Kayo talaga.

Pero dahil tinawag mong Satenista ang Atenista, malamang hindi ka Atenista.:rotflmao:

[cla_cbe_d_best]

How do you know?

coz one of my blockmates was a transferee. ;)

[zacharaiolsen]

usual story for me, dami ako kilala galing UA&P transfer sa DLSU and AdMU, UST doesnt accept transferees kasi excpt for fine arts and music. yung iba naman sa thames, sa benilde. syempre mga pang mayaman rin. kung freshman ka plng ****, pwede ka mag UP, uulitin mo nga lang lahat ng subjects, walang make credit. pero pag 2nd yr ka na, wag na lang, sayang naman kng uulitin m lahat yun.

im a transferee. i suggest you decide the degree you want first, so you could choose a school appropriate for it. magaling ka magsulat kamo at active ka sa orgs? mag mass com ka kaya, or sumthing B.A.
i think ur talents are better in the arts than the sciences..

galing rin akong UA&P. I passed physics, but I flunked calculus naman hehe. masyado kasi maraming GE subjects run no? to be well rounded ek-ek daw.. peste kasi naitayo pa yung bilyaran sa tapat hehe, andun pa ba yun?

Wow, also a transferee in Ateneo? Wow. Yep, actually I'm planning to take up BS Comtech in Ateneo. It's like UA&P'S IMC if you're still familiar with it. Hm. Who was your Physics teacher? I had Chua eh, so almost everyone in our class failed. Thanks for that, hmm, what's your course there?

Why do you have to transfer? Why not simply use the Opus Dei connection of UA&P?

The school is founded on the traditional liberal arts education. Kaya madaming GE subjects. Escriva talked personally to Villegas about this focus.

What do you mean by 'Opus Dei connection?'

[Gising]

What do you mean by 'Opus Dei connection?'

I'm sure you know that there are a lot of "friends of the Opus Dei" who are well connected in the corporate world. Friends of the Opus Dei is an organization of lay people in the business and government sector who supports the mission of Opus Dei. They take care of their own. A very good business network of like-minded people.*okay*

Ah, of course. But honestly, apart from the fact that I don't find that 'connection' really existing among the graduates we produce, matters regarding employment is the least I did consider in deciding to apply for The Ateneo.

Let's just say that I'm one of the fewest students in UA who have keen observations with how much our Administration officers deprive us in experiencing 'college life at its best.' I don't think our learning should stop in the four corners of the room. We are too confined that it feels like having a feel of how elementary rules are implemented all over again. I don't know if I'm right in saying this, butbeing excessively conservative is not doing us any good.

To Zach-something, are you a transfer student? UA to Ateneo? :)

merong isang tao na galing sa ama pero lumipat sa admu... syempre a lahat ng subjects niya sa ama.

[zacharaiolsen]

to Nade, i replied on your IM na, sorry if it was kinda late.

my Physics prof was Mr. Tumbocon, yung babading-bading, more than half of the class failed, my calculus prof was Ms. Parilla.

i agree with you, sobrang strict nila kaya maraming naaalis at umaalis. its somehow underrated kasi the school is still young, but oon it'll get there.. i agree with the 'opus dei connections', but its grads dont even need it to have good high paying and decent jobs. i assure you, though, if you transfer, mas sasaya ka sa school na lilipatan mo. yan napansin ko sa mga kasamahan ko.

Right. I have around 6 batchmates whom have went ahead and have all gone to La Salle. Around 5 I think, including myself, are trying their (our) luck in Ateneo naman. :)

[atenean_blooded]

Nade, I'm not sure how the failing mark will affect your chances of getting in, but I'm sure it will only have a negative effect. I suggest making a case for entering the Ateneo by pulling your grades up a bit more, and applying to transfer when you have no failing marks.

Also, if you're planning to transfer, be ready to repeat freshman year, which is usually the case. I can imagine that quite a number (if not all) of your subjects will not be credited.

Hi, thanks. Actually I have no problems with repeating freshman year. The only thing that is bothering me until now is having that failing mark. I am just hoping that I did well in my ACET. :) Thanks again.

off-topic!

about the "the Ateneo" thing

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ateneo_de_Manila_University

If you read the article on the school name, you'll probably figure why "the Ateneo" has been the official usage until now. It's because of quirks of translation.

However, there has been need for some clarification with regard to how the name is used. Perhaps this snippet from a stylebook can help:

"Ateneo. Popular name of Jesuit institutions of learning in the Philippines. Spanish form of the Latin word Atheneum, which the Dictionary of Classical Antiquities defines as the name of the “first educational institution in Rome” where “rhetoreticians and poets held their recitations.” Fr. James Meany, S.J. further explains that this name is derived from a Greek temple dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, where the Encyclopedia Britannica says “poets and men of learning were accustomed to meet and read their productions.”

The name Ateneo was adopted by the Escuela Municipal de Manila in 1865, becoming the Ateneo Municipal de Manila. The Spanish roots of the word therefore present a dilemma.

If the word is treated as a Spanish word, references to the school become appropriate renditions of “el Ateneo,” or literally, “the school.” Therefore, the use of “the” before the word Ateneo is appropriate. Thus, the common usage, “the Ateneo” can stand and be used liberally, as in

Jose Rizal graduated from the Ateneo with a degree in the arts. As a University, the Ateneo de Manila seeks to preserve….

However, in the Philippines, the name Ateneo is not merely a common Spanish noun, and is recognized as the official title of Jesuit institutions of higher learning. Thus, to say that one is attending classes at Ateneo is also appropriate. The use of “the” also becomes inappropriate at times, as in

Ateneo students often meet in the cafes along Katipunan Avenue."

"When mentioned for the first time, the full name Ateneo de Manila University should be used. Subsequent references can use the full name, or the abbreviated form Ateneo de Manila. When there are no other Ateneos involved, it can be referred to as the Ateneo. Otherwise, always add the qualifier de Manila for clarification. Not doing so would be an unjustified act of hubris.

Abbreviation into the acronyms ADMU or ADM is undesirable and should be avoided."

"The official title of the University is Ateneo de Manila University. The school name is Ateneo de Manila. The school's 'nickname' is Ateneo, and should only be referred to as 'the Ateneo' if it is clear that it is the Ateneo de Manila that is being talked about. Otherwise, usage of the school name (Ateneo de Manila) should be used prior to just 'the Ateneo.'"

end of off-topic.

Parang "LaSalle" = nickname. Proper is De La Salle. am I right?
