YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR FIRST-YEAR ADMISSION TO UP THROUGH THE UPCAT FOR

   for the opening of SY 2025-2026, OR you are a senior high school graduate

The UPCAT consists of 4 subtests: Language Proficiency (in English and

grades in Grades 8 to 11 to determine the admission score ("UPG"). To implement
the policy of democratic access, UP also considers socioeconomic and geographic
factors in its admission process. (https://upcat.up.edu.ph)

SELECTION FOR A CAMPUS

Admission into UP is very selective due to high demand. Applicants come from
very diverse backgrounds but they are all ranked based on indicators of academic
preparedness for university life.

 * Selection for admission to a campus is based on the applicant's rank, campus
   quota and/or cut-off grade.
 * A successful applicant can receive an offer of admission to only one of the
   applicant's UP campus choices.

SELECTION FOR A DEGREE PROGRAM

The successful applicants for a given campus are ranked according to grade
predictors and quotas of their chosen degree programs. Some degree programs are
more competitive due to high demand.

 * Applicants should choose only degree programs they are interested in. If an
   applicant is not successful for his/her first choice of campus, the process
   continues in order of priority of the remaining choices.
