What are your thoughts on this school?
What are your thoughts on this school?
I graduated from DLSU HSC. The main advantage for me was the fact that the school is outside of Metro Manila where there could be so many distractions and noise. The distance could help you concentrate more on your studies plus if you stay in one of the many dorms, school is just 5 minutes away (which could be very much to your advantage come clerkship).
So you've decided to pursue med school then Ironhide?
Goodluck to you
^^Actually, pre med is shorter if you take it in DLSU- Taft because of the trimestral system. Med proper is still 4 years though in DLSU-HSC in Cavite.
DLSU Taft has a Human Biology program where you take 1 or 2 years of pre med and then go straight to 4 years of med school. I am not sure about this though..forgot the details sorry.
Graduates are not obligated to practice residency at DLSU HSC after graduation.
hi xthine, sorry to bug you with some random questions:
* how many fil-ams/foreigners do you have in your class?
* do you know how old the older person in your class is?
* what percentage of the students are preparing to go to the US and do their residencies there?
thanks!
Only dlsu-hsc will give you a waiver from the foreign fee if you are a dual citizen. Most schools will still charge you a foreign fee regardless of dual citizenship unless you did your pre-med in the Philippines.i am dual citizen and i want to go to dlsu hsc
i will be considered a filipino student in that matter right?
Thanks xthine and FutureMDDude. I was asking these questions because I turned 30 this year and wasn't sure if I would feel out of place going to med school. I'm actually experiencing an early mid-life crisis. I'm a Fil-Am and have been working as an IT consultant for a while now (10 years), but it's just not fulfilling. I'm sure med school isn't going to be a walk in the park, but I would like to explore and see if it suits me.just thought i'd put in my two cents =)
i am currently a first year student at dls-hsc and there are 9 Fil-Ams, and about 3 other foreigners from a class of 170.
The oldest person in our class is one of us Fil-Ams at 34 years old.
I know for sure that the Fil-Ams are preparing to go back to the states for their residencies. As for the locals, there are a few that want to go to the states, but I think that the majority want to stay in the Philippines.
endograsper, you sure you wanna go to med school? sounds like you'd have more fun unleashing your OC in law schoolperhaps I can be wrong but...
the way I understood things... RA9225 in a nutshell embraces the ideal 'once a filipino, always a filipino' in the most legal manner.
hence without PREJUDICE to FIL-AMS going to philippine medical schools.
... I wish the phil president could make a public speech on this matter in support of the rights of the 'new filipino-americans' with focus to fil-am student doctors.

Dude, I'm not arguing with you. But try arguing with UST. Believe me, a lot tried to argue your point but it's useless and futile, they will still consider you as "foreign" as long as you had you pre-med outside the Phil. Speaking about Philippine justice and bringing this to court, GOOD LUCK with that! With so many crooks there running free I doubt if it would prosper or you might win after 10 years.i think my premed from phils or not... should be beside the point.
it has nothing to do with one's category as FILIPINO or FOREIGN student doctor...
if they charge foreign fees to a fil-am who is covered by RA 9225 (meaning one who retained his/her filipino citizenship by re-acquisition by either being native born himself/herself or by virtue of jus soli and jus sanguinis)... doesn't that totally just do the opposite of what RA 9225 is all about?
i would like to be enlightened on this matter

Hello,
I'm new to this network and am interested in going to La Salle. I already spoke to a family friend of mine about the school since she attended DLSU and graduated last year and she gave me some tips about the interview. But I like to hear tip from those who recently attends La Salle or graduate from the school.
What questions will they ask you and what's your advice for the interview with Dr. Francisco? I just took NMAT in Chicago and got an interview appointment in the beginning of 2008.
In addition, as of now, how much weight will they put on the NMAT? Thanks!
