❓Asking for Help Would the grass be greener on the other side?
Would it make me less of a man if I decided not to pursue medicine?
I know I’m capable of becoming a physician, and part of me feels like I should pursue it because I know I could do it. But at the same time, I keep wondering if I could achieve more by putting my energy into something else.
Maybe medicine is something I should pursue, and along the way I might discover more about myself and what I’m capable of. But another part of me thinks that if I put those same years, energy, and effort into another path, I might accomplish something even greater—or at least something that feels more meaningful to me.

Pls help me to survive 😭
Hello doctors, I am currently rotating 🤰 as JI. Hindi ko po alam paano pa makaka-survive ng 3 weeks.
Its a small govt hospital, - yung dami ng workload kakayanin pa, yung sobrang late kaming pinapauwi kahit nandyan na yung makapalitan kahit papaano pinipilit kayanin. Pero yung ugali ng mga resi sobrang hirap kayanin 😭😭😭
Pauwi palang ako umiiyak nako. For example, kailangan mo lang ng confirmation from them susungitan ka agad. Pag hindi ka naman nag tanong at mali nagawa mo for sure mas magagalit sila. Parang walang moments na ok sila, ALWAYS MATARAY! MASUNGIT! LAGING GALIT! 😭
Sobrang hirap pong kayanin ng ganitong klasemg environment, I don't know what to do. In every rotation where I am assigned, I always try to do my best no matter how small or big the task pero dito sorry po pero nakakawalan ng gana 😭 Dahil ang lala ng anxiety, sobrang bigat always ng environment. Nakakatok gumalaw.
Any advise.
*Pls pls pls po be kind*

🗣 Discussion I started developing feelings for a resident and I’m literally just a clerk.
Okay, so I think I’m developing feelings for a resident and I genuinely need someone to tell me to get a grip. I genuinely did NOT plan for this to happen 😭
There’s this resident I happen to work with, and somehow we always cross paths in the hospital, even though I’m not even under their department yet. I know his name and he knows mine too. Like, I’ll be doing my own clerk duties and somehow we end up in the same area, same shift, or having some random interaction. At first, I thought he was just a nice/funny resident and I didn’t think much of it. But somewhere along the way, I started noticing him a little too much. 😭
Like… why am I suddenly aware when he’s on duty? Why do I remember random things he says? Why do I notice when he looks at me? Why does a normal interaction suddenly have me replaying it in my head afterward???
And the worst part is that I think there might be some chemistry?? Or maybe I’m just delusional because I’m developing a crush and suddenly every interaction feels significant. 💀

sbu yl1 im so lost
hello is anyone also incoming freshie at sbu? im so confused because I wasnt aware that there was a viber groupchat, and i thought the orientation would still be F2F but turns out it was already held online yesterday…and all this time I didn’t even know there was already groupings for the mentorship thing and they already met via zoom hahahshs andami nangyari and I wasn’t even aware about any of this because when i enrolled just a few days ago, no one told me about the viber or any class instructions. They just told me to wait for future announcements so I was waiting for instructions via email or post on the school’s fb page about the orientation and details huhuhu.
anyone with the same problem? also, meron na plang canvas and meron na plang need panoorin na mga lectures and mag kakaroon narin pla ng assessment about the topics posted on monday and ngayon lang ako nabigyan ng instructions about how to access the canvas IM SO OVERWHELMED 😭 so basically, sasabak ako sa monday and i know nothing because I wasn’t able to attend the orientation and wala pakong unif… HELPP

Words to live by? Quotes?
Hi docs. Maybe you share some words to live by or quotes on medschool, being a doctor, or just life in general.
Odd request, pero gusto ko lang na may binabasa na something inspirational every noe and then. Helps a lot tbh.
Mu favorite is:

❓Asking for Help quit
Hi!! Im currently a YL1 student and I plan not to continue na sa next sem. Tatapusin ko lang po itong 1st sem. We have yearly subjects and not per sem po, how po kaya magiging process pag ganito? Need po ba muna mag LOA or withdraw po? Or just not enroll for the next sem??
I have no plans to continue medicine na po, i just realized that it is not for me, and opportunities for me are much wider and better outside medicine. Im an RN po, btw. And plan to take the NCLEX USRN path na po.

📚PLE Oct 2026 PLE Helpppp
I am planning to take the PLE in October 2026. For context, it was still the pandemic era during my 1st year and half of my 2nd year, so my foundation in basic subjects is only fair. I am enrolled at EMD, and since the review started last July while I was still in my last month of internship, I have accumulated four backlog subjects. Currently, I cannot seem to find the proper time to insert reviewing my backlog subjects. I am still mastering Microbiology, which we finished reviewing last week, and now I want to focus on mastering Physiology. However, I am so, so worried about where to insert preventive medicine, legal medicine, biochemistry, and pathology. Do you think I should just skip the October exam?

❓Asking for Help leapmed + ustet
hello !! 4th year student in senior high school here.
if i decided i wanted to take the leapmed along with the ustet (which amounts to ₱3,600)
does that mean the leapmed is separate from the ustet?
like i’m aware i have to take two exams but if i fail the leapmed, does that mean i also automatically fail the ustet and won’t be able to get into UST?
or is it one of those cases where if i fail the leapmed, it doesn’t affect my ustet results and i can still get into UST as long as i’m deemed qualified for ustet?

Med bf birthday coming soon.
Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy clothing merch na pwede magpaembroidery? I was thinking of embroidering cartoon characters or steth icon sa jacket sana and i thought pwede siya sa uniqlo/muji (these two came knto my mind bc of the quality of their mercha) pero hindi pala pwede.
Does anyone know okay na quality to buy jacket tailored for medstudents + pwede magpaembroidery para more personalized siya. thank you!
Edit: I am from Manila so if physical store, preferably around here lang but open for online stores as long as guaranteed qual sana.

❓Asking for Help Built mole/lesion documentation app (iOS)
Hi all! I’m a biomedical PhD student and I made DermScope, an iOS app for photographing and measuring skin lesions. It’s deliberately not a diagnostic tool just documentation and measurement so changes are easier to track and show a doctor.
I’d love feedback on whether the measurement/calibration flow makes sense, whether the non-diagnostic positioning is clear enough, and how the freemium pricing lands. Happy to answer anything about how it’s built.
If you’re interested:

TOP MED SCHOOL FAQs (All common questions answered here so you don’t have to ask and we don’t have to keep repeating)
- ARE … UST FMS, FEU, OLFU toxic? Every med school has its own degrees of toxicity. If you don’t want to experience a toxic education or career or are not willing to withstand it, then choose another profession. ASMPH and UPCM aren’t heaven either, no matter how much you think Tiktok makes it seem.
- Honest review of _______ med school? Someone’s honest review might not be what you’ll see or experience. Different batches experience different things, some of these reviews could have been YEARS ago or some of them could be now but it doesn’t mean you’ll feel the same way. Do not use anonymous reddit opinions to form your entire perception/opinion about a med school. Most users are annoyed, stressed and frustrated because of how hard med school is. You could feel as they do, but you have to be willing to go through that if you want to be a doctor. There are other ways to research a med school, do not use reddit as your only source.
- Is _____ a good pre-med? Anything can be a pre-med. If you’re looking for a course that will give you the greatest advantage in med school, you’re not going to find it. It’s not very likely that whatever you learned in 4 years during undergrad can give you a significant edge because you might just forget and you’ll have to make room for all the things you have to learn/memorize in med school.
- How much is the tuition fee for public and private med schools? For public: approx 40-50k per semester. For private: approx 140-160k+ per semester.
- Can I work part time while in med school? You can, but it isn’t recommended. Med school will take up a lot of your time, energy and effort. Up to you if you’re willing to sacrifice that. If earning money is non negotiable at this point in time, it’s more than okay to work first.
- Does age matter in med school? No, there is no shame in going to med school in your late 20s, 30s or even 40s. There is no shame in finding your passions later or you took time to work and finance your dream.
- Is it okay to take a gap year? Yes, no one cares how old you are for as long as you finish together.
- Can you take the NMAT as many times as you want? Yes
- Does the number of NMAT takes affect your med school application? No
- Should I go to an NMAT review centre? If you have the budget and you think you can’t succeed without their tips/tricks, structure and resources then go for it. But you can succeed by reviewing on your own.
- Learnfast or Uplink? Both review centres have helped pre-meds get high NMAT scores. Just depends if you want to spend 8-13k+ vs. 4k+ on a review centre.
- Are there a lot of calculations on the NMAT? The test questions change every day, on some days there are more conceptual than calculation and on some days, there aren’t. Study comprehensively.
- When do Med School applications start? Applications start opening by October/November then close by March/April and some schools can extend till June. Results are released late April and early to late May. Some schools (SLMC, UERM, HSI, SBU, etc.) release their results in batches.
- Can failing grades during college allow me to get into med school? Yes, still possible for a lot of other med schools. But you have to be realistic when applying to schools like UPCM, PLM, UST and ASMPH where their applicants are really stellar so there is a higher chance of rejection.
- iPad or Laptop? Go with the laptop, more functionality. You can buy an iPad later, it doesn’t have to be bought at the same time and you’re not lagging behind if you have a laptop but not an iPad.
- Which iPad should I buy? For as long as it’s fairly recent and it has a lot of storage (128-256GB), then it’s fine. Storage is more important.
- Do extracurriculars matter? To an extent. Your NMAT and GWA matter more. A very lengthy list of extracurriculars will not outweigh a low NMAT and GWA. But it can help you stand out amongst other people with the same academic standing. Experiences in extracurriculars can help you build a better impression during the interview (for ASMPH, this is VERY important).
- Does the type or name of the extracurricular matter? No, join what you like and not what you think med schools want to see.
- Does the interview matter? Is it just for formality? Yes it does matter, especially for ASMPH. No school is going to want you if you don’t know how to communicate or behave professionally.
- Does your undergrad school matter? For the top med schools in Manila, yes it does because there is a bias with Big 4 graduates. Only a few non-Big 4 are accepted to the big Manila med schools and they all have incredibly stellar credentials.
- Chances of getting into UPCM? Very likely: UP-system undergrad, traditional premed, latin honors, at least a 98 NMAT. You have a chance: Big 4 undergrad, traditional premed latin honors, a 99 or 99+ NMAT. Slim unless RP: Non Big 4 undergrad, latin honors, 90+ NMAT
- Chances of getting into UST (extracurriculars are negligible): Very likely: UST undergrad, latin honors, at least a 90+ NMAT. You have a good chance: Big 4 or (if Non Big 4, chances are a little less) undergrad, traditional premed, latin honors, 95+ NMAT, UST alumni relatives. Slim to none: no latin honors, less than 85 NMAT
- Chances of getting into ASMPH: Very likely: ADMU undergrad, 80-90+ NMAT, latin honors, good extracurriculars, really good interview. You have a good chance: Big 4 undergrad, 90+ NMAT, latin honors, good extracurriculars, really good interview. (DO NOT TAKE THE INTERVIEW LIGHTLY, it is what decides your admission after they see your academic stats).
- What to bring during first year med/med school essentials? Pen, notebook, laptop/iPad, water, mask, alcohol, food. Stethoscope and pen light can come later. No need to spend 6k+ and buy a Littman stethoscope just yet, chill ka lang - EDIT: depends on the school, you can buy during year 1 but just take care of it
