UA&P's dumb transferee policy

Of the 5 friends of mine who applied as transferees at UA&P for this semester, 4 have been rejected. The 5th doesn't even want to check - says he doubts he got in anyway.

I recently spoke with someone from OSA about it - he said that admissions are attempting to raise the bar for transferees because last years batch proved themselves to be "unworthy". According to him, 150 students from my batch were let go due to failure of passing the needed GWA. But what I'm failing to see is how transferees are connected to this. I was a transferee. I made the GWA cut-off.

Yes, the university's policies are not solely based on Jena. Nevertheless, they are prejudging. So what if last years transferees didn't do all that great? That group of less than 150 students do not necessarily represent all of the transferees hoping to attend UA&P from here on out, do they?

I feel sympathetic for my friends that didn't get in. I can totally imagine how they might be feeling right now. Last year, after my years-long playtime, God pulled me out from the big ol' hole I dug myself into and put the urge in me to go back to school. Everything was set. A cousin recommended UA&P to my dad for me, so I applied. Wow, my family must have thought. The high school drop-out, sakit sa ulo of us all wants to go back to school. For the nth time! Let's see how this time around will turn out. The ideal support group (Thank you God for being faithful, by the way). Had I not been accepted, my self-esteem and confidence would have surely taken a turn for the worse.

It's a good thing my friends haven't lost hope. Well, 4 out of 5, at least haven't. Even though it'll be tiring and pride-striking to keep going back and forth to admissions making their appeals, they are up to it. And they can count on me for encouragement and assistance whenever they need it (that's right guys - I'm here for ya!).

And I will also be available to participate in any UA&P Complaint sessions / Reform Our School Movement meetings. My email address is changethecampuschangetheworld@almostthere.com if any of you are interested. HAHAHA!
