[@galenbuhain]

Salamat po sa tips

[@ziamartinez]

welcome po 😍

[@Villa_C-ne9qz]

Thank you po! Very enlightening 😊 Is it manageable if ever I enroll both in Byu pathway and English Connect? What's your helpful advice?

[@ziamartinez]

You’re welcome po ☺️ Yes sister! Kaya yan. Yung iba nasasabay pa ang full-time work at BYU-Pathway.

[@maixmei]

Thank you! This is so helpful! May I ask where can I check the dates of completing PathwayConnect? I checked on the site but I can only see my grades huhu

[@ziamartinez]

Hello! I know someone who recently got admitted who just estimated the dates of completion. It worked out naman 😊

[@maixmei]

@@ziamartinez I see. Thank you so much!

[@Lee-bj9jr]

Hello sister, thank you for this! What if may bachelor's degree na po pero I want to take another program/course, may chance po kaya na ma-grant for scholarship?

[@ziamartinez]

Hello po! Happy to help. ❤️ Kapag you’re applying as an on-campus undergraduate student sa BYU, BYUH or BYUI, yung mga wala pa pong degree ang tinatanggap nila. Pero for online schools like BYUI/Ensign College online, tumatanggap sila kahit may bachelor’s degree na ☺️

[@riyunari7050]

Hi sister zia, what if i have a bachelors degree in ph already? And currently enrolled to BYU Pathway PC03. Can I still apply? 🙂

[@ziamartinez]

Hello po! Thanks for asking! BYUH only accommodates those na wala pa pong bachelor’s degree eh. Pero I know BYU-Idaho/Ensign College online accepts students kahit may bachelor’s degree na sa ph ☺️

[@Lee-bj9jr]

Hello po, are you interested to apply? I also have a bachelor's degree na but planning to apply as a scholar too. Maybe we can help each other :)

[@francisvelasco4374]

Hi sister! just wanna ask how many sems ng pathway po ba ang kailangan po sa BYU hawaii para sa applicants? asking for a friend lang po. TIA

[@ziamartinez]

Hello brother! As soon as may grade na siya sa first semester niya, pwede na siya mag-apply. Make sure lang na before siya pupunta dito ay tapos na ang PathwayConnect program niya at ipasa ang transcript sa BYUH admissions. Hope this helps!

[@francisvelasco4374]

maraming salamat po. this helps a lot po

[@rossyv.4396]

Thank you very much for this precise video ate Zia, now I know what to expect for my exam and learned new tips. I am very nervous tbh. Question thoo, about po sa doon sa sinabi mo po na declare ang income ng family, its just me and my papa living together sa bahay and my siblings are in different places, di ko na sila need pa ideclare ang income nila? nakalagay kase doon na yung mga kasama ko lang sa bahay. Naguguluhan din po ako sa family contribution, necessary din po ba talaga ilagay?

[@rossyv.4396]

Also, they only instructed me to create BYU Hawaii account and not the BYU, should I make an account there also?.

[@rossyv.4396]

I am really not sure din po sa aking essays, if it is okay enough to turn in, this might be too much to ask and far fetched but are you open po to read mine and just check if it has potential and if there's something missing or need to revised? I am very sorry to ask po, but im really nervous about my essay.

[@ziamartinez]

Hello Rossy! Good questions! Here are my answers: 1. Yes tama ka, di na need i-declare ang income ng siblings mo if they are not living in your home na. 2. Yes kailangan maglagay ng family contribution/annual support. $600 ang minimum according here: financialaid.byuh.edu/onboarding-fees#:~:text=%24600%2D%247%2C500%20per%20student%20estimated%20annual%20family%20contribution. Don’t worry, pag andito ka na, mas magiging magaan yung babayaran kasi may job ka. Installment din yung pagbayad at deadline ay every end of the semester. 3. If they did not instruct you to create a BYU account, baka meron nang naka-link na BYU account. Need kasing i-link yung 9-digit BYU ID #. Pero don’t worry if may check na yung Account Linking. 4. I’m sure you did well sa iyong essays, pero if gusto mo pa rin ipa-check, you can send them here: [e-mail]

[@rossyv.4396]

Hello po ate Zia, I already sent you the file po salamat po talaga huhuhu.@@ziamartinez

[@ziamartinez]

@@rossyv.4396beh, I have read your essays and i’d say it’s more than enough. You have expressed your thoughts very well. Thank you for sharing your testimony❤️

[@user-fv5om2dg1f]

really helpful! just wanna ask, can I still be admitted even if i have no work experience?

[@ziamartinez]

Thank you! Yes, you can still be admitted pero if you want to qualify for IWORK din, mention about how you magnify your callings sa essay part or any other proof na prepared kang pagsabayin ang studies and work :)

[@user-fv5om2dg1f]

@@ziamartinez hello! another thing po, is institute and seminary required? I only got to enroll online on PathwayConnect Institute Classes. Hindi ako naka enroll sa stake namin kasi sunday lang available ko

[@ziamartinez]

@@user-fv5om2dg1f Good question! Hindi naman required na Seminary and Institute graduate. Pero automatic makikita nila ang records mo once you use your church account sa application. It’s okay kung hindi ka pa graduate :)

[@maixmei]

Hi! I just want to ask about the Bishop's Letter in financial documents part.. Am I gonna email it to iWork?

[@ziamartinez]

Hello! No need na po. Just let your bishop fill up the bishop’s letter form. You can find the form in the description of this video, just in case you can’t find it sa BYUH website.☺️

[@maixmei]

​@@ziamartinez Another thing po, once the bishop submitted the form mag show lang po ba sa profile application (international) na completed na? Till now, wala pa rin kasi 😭

[@maixmei]

@ziamartinez And how long did it take for your Endorsement to be completed po? Been a week na kasi since na-interview na ako ni Pres. and I only got a week left to complete my documents (sorry for having many questions😭 i have no one to ask)

[@ziamartinez]

@@maixmei awww no worries, sister! Oo mejo matagal sila mag process sa dami ng applicants. Yun nalang ba ang kulang mo? I suggest send ka ng email ngayon to follow up tas ilagay mo sa subject na urgent!

[@ziamartinez]

@@maixmei yes sis, magiging complete yung section na yun pag na-verify na nila. Kung hindi pa complete, hindi pa nila na-veverify

[@joshuareano6697]

What will be the process for married couples? Will it be easy for my spouse to use her degree and work while I'm studying/working in BYUH?

[@ziamartinez]

Hello Joshua! Yes she can work dito at mas makakaipon kayo. Kaso need niyo mag deposit ng $10,000 sa school bago siya bigyan ng documents for visa.

[@ziamartinez]

Di kami need mag deposit kasi both kaming students. For non-student spouse yung 10K USD deposit.

[@joshuareano6697]

Oh I see. Thanks!

[@princesa516]

Is it okay lang po ba na passbook ang isend rather than bank statement?

[@ziamartinez]

Hello! Thanks for asking! Bank statement po ang need ipasa ☺️

[@princesa516]

Thank you so much Ate. ❤

[@michelledevargas5850]

Is there a full scholarship for masteral program?

[@ziamartinez]

Hello, Michelle! BYUH currently doesn’t have a master's program, but there are other schools that offer full scholarships for master's programs. It's very competitive, but it's possible. I know someone who did it. He graduated summa cum laude here in Hawaii and had a lot of research work and solid work experience before he got that full scholarship.
