WELCOME, FUTURE THOMASIANS!

ANNOUNCEMENT

For the Academic Year 2022-2023, the University of Santo Tomas Entrance
Test (USTET) will not be administered in consideration of the quarantine
restrictions that are currently in effect in the country.

Instead, admission to UST for the AY 2022-2023 shall be through the University
of Santo Tomas Admission Rating (USTAR). The USTAR is a score that will be
computed from a number of parameters derived largely from the academic
performance and record of the applicant.

REMINDER FOR THE LEAPMed APPLICANTS:

The last day for submission of your LEAPMed application is on November 30, 2021.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. Application to the University of Santo Tomas is done online.

2. Only College applicants who are currently enrolled in Grade 12 and Senior
High School applicants who are currently enrolled in Grade 10 may apply.

admitted to. This is their primary interest in which they intend to further
their knowledge and skills.
* Alternative Program. In case the applicant does not meet the criteria
of his/her priority program, they will be considered in this program subject
to the criteria set by the College. Once an applicant qualifies in their

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) - ABOUT THE USTAR

About the USTAR

1. What is the USTAR?

The projected prolonged threat of the COVID-19 situation will not allow the
administration of the University of Santo Tomas Entrance Test (USTET) during the
current application period, as it imposes health risks to both our applicants
and the University staff.

Instead, admission to UST for the AY 2022-2023 shall be through the University
of Santo Tomas Admission Rating (USTAR). The USTAR is a composite score derived
from several data points largely from the academic performance and record of the
applicant.

2. Why not online USTET?

Conducting the USTET online has several challenges, both on the part of the
applicant and the University.

* The USTET takes hours to administer. Maintaining internet connection for that
long would be difficult for many. Moreover, it disenfranchises many
applicants who do not have continuous access to the internet.
* Assuring the integrity of the test results is difficult since we would not
know how applicants will be answering the questions without a proctor
monitoring them. Installing online proctoring software is impractical and
only adds cost to both the applicants and the University. Also, it would
disenfranchise the many applicants who do not have the means to purchase
them.

3. How do I qualify based on my USTAR?

The accepting academic units (Faculties, Colleges, Institutes, and Schools)
shall set an USTAR cut-off score for their programs. Programs may have
different cut-off scores depending on the level of competency they require of
their students especially considering that many of them are CHED Centers of
Excellence, CHED Centers of Development, or PAASCU/PACUCOA Level IV, and/or
AUN-Assessed. You qualify to the program you applied for if your computed USTAR
meets the cut-off score set by the academic unit for that program.

4. Should my Senior High School Track/Strand be aligned to the program I am
applying for?

An applicant may apply to any program regardless of their Senior High School
(SHS) track or strand. It must be remembered, however, that the SHS tracks and
strands are preparatory course work to the program in college. Applicants whose
SHS track or strand is aligned to the program they are applying for shall have
an advantage over applicants coming from a different track or strand.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you apply to the program that you truly aspire
for regardless of your track or strand.

4.1. Are students of General Academic Strand (GAS) in a disadvantage?

Not necessarily, because the individual subjects that an applicant has taken in
preparation for their college program. If their electives are aligned with the
program they are applying for, their USTAR will be higher than others’.

5. There are applicants who have high grades but, sadly, the quality of
education that was provided to them is not yet as excellent as others. Does the
USTAR consider this?

Yes. This is why several data are requested in your application. All these
data, including your school’s past performances in the many years of the USTET
shall be taken into consideration.

(This is the reason why the USTET is administered. The USTET provides an
evaluation of all applicants using a standard measure that determines an
applicant’s cognitive aptitude and academic competencies based on what is
expected of an incoming college or senior high school student of the University.
But because of the risks brought about by the pandemic, we are suspending it for
now.)

6. Sometimes, a student gets a grade they feel or believe they do not deserve.
How will this affect their USTAR?

The USTAR looks at all of the information submitted by the applicant. It is the
applicant’s consistency of performance that will qualify them into the program
they apply for. One or two grades, whether it is higher or lower than was
expected, shall not be the determining factor whether one will qualify or not.
This is the reason why we require the academic performance record of the
applicant in the past two years.

listed subjects. What should I do?

GAS students, except for Work Immersion, shall select their subjects listed in
the other strands.

Application” button found at the lower part of the Activity Log in your
application portal. You may then restart your application. If you have paid

guide you in your selection of the appropriate subjects.

19. What should I do if my school does not provide strand ranking and/or batch
ranking?

Understanding that several schools are not able to provide applicants their
strand and/or batch ranking, you may check the box for "No Record"
for Student Ranking if this is the case for you. In the Documents
Uploading tab, upload only the certificate you are given. If you have neither
the strand-ranking nor the batch-ranking, no document for ranking will be
required.

20. I share the same rank as another student (example: 1.5 or 5.33) but the
application system only accepts whole numbers for ranking. What should I do?

21. My number days present is not a whole number (example: 195.5) but the
application system only accepts whole numbers for attendance. What should I do?

For cases like this, round up to nearest whole number.

22. My school requires proof that the certificates I requested are for my USTAR
application, what should I present to them?

You may do the following: present to them your Application and Conforme form;
you may refer them to browse the Application Procedure tab in the application
website to view the requirements for the USTAR. Inform your school as well that
you are NOT requesting for transfer credentials but only a certified true

Education.

honors classes?

No, because all subjects in a science high school are part of the regular
curriculum but we do consider the status of being a public science high school
in the computation of the USTAR.

24. What awards are considered for the USTAR?

Winning in, landing a place (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) or receiving a special citation
in international, national, regional, or school division level competitions
within the last 2 academic years are considered. This could be an individual
award, or it could be a team or group award.
