follow the dress code on your first day to be sure. since most of your subjects are core subjects (natsci, english, lit, filipino, etc) and not SOM subjects, the profs would likely allow you to wear anything you want.

some teachers are cool to some extent but others will make you experience hell (no pressure though. haha).

good luck and God bless!

If I'm going to shift from BSLM to ME, what are the shifting requirements? Thanks. :D

Umm for MGT-H... Do you HAVE to be like, a super genius to be able to graduate from it with honors? Or to graduate from it AT ALL? :-s Cuz based on what I've been hearing, it seems like it. :|

---

if im not mistaken, mataas ang maintaining qpi and grades nang mgt-h. no grades lower than B ata

is that insanely hard to perform? like no sleeping/partying/seeing other people kind of extent? In short, no fun in college?

MGT-H Freshman batch.... there's mine near the cross to the right

guys, for one, ndi ko sure ung maintaining grade ng mgt-h (pero meron talga siya). so dont be scared, baka mali ako :D

two, having a b or higher is not that hard. maging masipag ka lang, have a good prof, and some luck, maaabot yan :D

three, ndi lang mgt-h ang may maintaining grade. may ibang course rin na meron. even LS has a maintaining qpi (1.8 for freshies).

---

Yeah, I've heard that MGT-H has a maintaining grade... 2.8 I think or 3? Heard that every about 5 people graduate from this course too... just wondered what happened to the others lol

I shifted to the ME program before sophomore year then got 2 D's(ITM14 and Accounting20) so I'm back in BS Mgt.
I got an A in Ma11 and Ma19 but B is enough in order to shift to ME. Hope that helps. :)

I got accepted as a BS Mgt student; if I do get the required grades, when can I shift to BS MGT-H?

---

You can already shift in freshman years... just meet the QPI needed I suppose

Hope I get in. >_>

If you don't get it, think of it as this way:

The grade requirements for that course was put by the Ateneo as a safety measure. If the line were not there, everybody could just enter the course but not everybody could handle it. Thus, they would be kicked out of the course and repeat college (wasting their time).

But I believe you can get into it, just believe in yourself

It's basically like MGT just with an H lol

sa sinasabi na Accounting classes, matakot kayo kay Ibarra! BWAHAHAHA! joke! =))

Sa sinabi sa akin ng kapatid ko, bawal ka magkaroon ng dalawang B (or C+, i dunno) sa MGT-H.

And, sa 1st at 2nd year, pili mga teachers niyo, yung mga magagaling (at mahihirap). haha.

Tapos sa batch ng kuya ko, 8 lang graduates ng MGT-H. Haha.

Hey, ano gagawin sa MEA prep course? I wanna dress appropriately eh. And I asked my other people who got in M.E. They got a text lang daw, but my friend from another school [a girl] got a call. Not to sound paranoid or anything, but does that mean anything??

---

MEA prep course activities would likely to include:
*a real life business simulation where you would undergo budgeting to create a product and get to sell it
*an amazing race (so i guess you should wear shoes fit for running)
*quizbee (quick facts about admu and mea)
*talent portion
*a lot of talks! (experiences and tips from upperclassmen and some profs i guess)
*a lot of group dynamics since you'll be divided into groups.

A text message vs. a phone call
*nothing to worry about it. it actually depends on the facilitators assigned to your groups. some prefer calling the participants while others prefer the impersonal way i.e. texting! haha.

Hey guys!

SOM students are highly encouraged to ask relevant questions about our school.
For the others, i will try my best to answer your queries.

---

Ditto! Don't be hesitant to ask stuff about SOM! We're more than glad to be of help :)

SPOILER MO RAY! We're not allowed to divulge what will happen in the Prep Course! Ayan wala ng element of surprise  HAHAHAHA but ME freshies, I'm sure everything rayangle said is very, very incomparable to what you'll experience in the prep course. Waaaaaah I am exciteddd 

I attended the Open House for Accounting. And the professor in Accounting says that uhh. Accounting is simple. It's just liabilities and two other things. XD
Was it prof. Ibarra or something? Anyhoo, I think she'd make the subject interesting. :))

That's Mam Ibarra yes, the chair of Finance and Accounting. I also attended the Accounting class two years ago during Open House.

ERM. Accounting is beyond simple, really. But don't worry about it yet, enjoy your freshman year first! You'll surely miss the *lightness* of the freshman load once you're in second year.
