[@ktrnn1928]

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Katrienne! Good luck and God bless you! See you 😉✨✨

[@ExtraDiyosa]

Hello KZbinr ka na rin! 🎉 Goodluck to your studies, Doc! 🙏

[@julianemmanuelmendoza8606]

Best intro sequence 👌

[@onepiecefan5765]

Better metric for measuring attitude is to look at the interviewee’s extracurricular activities. Kung beaucon yan dapat may advocacy na sila

[@JeremyCeriales]

Go, Llooooyd! 😄👏

[@docjvtomas]

This is very helpful Doc. :)

[@scha1966]

wow very informative. thank you

[@zamieca.]

watching again and subscribed with my other account! Doc Lloyd do you have the pdf or the copy of the article mentioned at the beginning of the video? Thanks.

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Zamieca! Thank you so much! Yes I do but they’re only photos and not a pdf file. You can send me an email and I can forward them to you :)

[@scha1966]

Wow thank you doc

[@mariellego4122]

Daldalin niyo lang sobra yun interviewer. Sinabihan nga ako lowkey na ang daldal ko wala na sila matanong HAHAHAHA

[@jhonrae_demdam]

Hi po , may i know po this is accurate parin po ba hanggang ngayon ? Thank you very much po if you notice me , because it is my desire to apply at UPCM , to pursue my career as a Doctor🫶🏼

[@reginecuevas4540]

Hello, Dok Lloyd! Could you make another video about the list of medical schools in the Philippines eligible for ECFMG Certification? para maka take ng USMLE and maging Pinoy US-MD

[@LloydRizada]

Hi again Regine! So sorry I’d have to learn more about ECFMG certification. But maybe this website can help you? www.ecfmg.org

[@veeefmveee8437]

NICE!!!

[@farhahmad3091]

Hi po. Thank you so much po for this very informative video. Just wanna ask... Is it true po ba that during interview, they will be asking you using your own dialect and so you have to use your own dialect also to answer their questions?

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Farh! Thank you for your feedback! I haven't encountered someone with this situation yet, in my experience it was all in English and Filipino lang. Pero it sounds possible, especially if you have a province or are applying under the Regionalization Program. Good luck! :)

[@britang9097]

Wow!!!!!

[@romeogallardojr.813]

More please

[@blackpinkandblinkers7217]

hi hope u could answer my question. is it okay to take nmat multiple times and just present to upcm the highest pr one? or does the upcm only consider the pr from first take? tyia

[@LloydRizada]

Hello! I'm guessing yes, you can do so. Pero personally, I think the NMAT is more of a "screening" requirement for UPCM: as long as you got at least 90, icoconsider ka na for the next round, the interview.

[@johnjoshuabellen1386]

May chance po ba na makapasok sa UP Med kahit graduate from other school? High advantage ba 'pag UP grad? Thank you Doc!

[@LloydRizada]

Hi John! Yes may chance pa rin naman makapasok kahit hindi graduate ng UP. Pero pinakamadami talaga mga galing UP campuses. Most classmates ko mga from UP din..

[@peterjohnespelita2089]

Hello po kuya Im an aspiring UPCM student huhuh do you have any reviewers po for NMAT ?

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Peter John! Nakihiram lang din ako ng NMAT reviewers from classmates hehehe.. I think maraming orgs ang nag ooffer ng reviews. Pero main review material ko was the free official reviewer they email to you as soon as you registered for the NMAT exam. For me, yun yung pinaka malapit na question styles / difficulty level ng actual exam. God bless!

[@PeterJohnEspelita-UPCM2030]

Thank you so much po kuya😇

[@adrianjeffreychato3358]

Doc, matanong ko lang po kasama po ba sa criteria yung fluency mo sa English, nakapasok ka po sa interview sa UPCM?

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Adrian! I don’t think nasa criteria po ang fluency in English. Pero part po ang English at reading comprehension sa NMAT

[@Ma.DorineAguilar]

Hello po, ask ko lang po if may naging classmate kayo na hindi graduate ng pre med sa UP I mean galing po ng ibang school?

[@LloydRizada]

Hi! Yes po! Meron from other schools kahit not from UP, from every region sa Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Meron din 2 or 3 na nag college from abroad haha

[@Ma.DorineAguilar]

@@LloydRizada kahit hindi po ba pre med ang course you think po ba na may chance sa UP Med huhu sabi nila need daw mataas ang nmat if not pre med ang course...

[@LloydRizada]

@@Ma.DorineAguilar Although maraming tinatanggap na BS Biology, Biochem, Public Health, etc, I think worth trying pa rin to apply kahit malayo sa Bio ang course, as long as pangarap mong maging doctor :)

[@Ma.DorineAguilar]

Thank you po for info!

[@charityfaith8246]

Hello po kuya. Good morning. Meron po bang nakakapasok na hindi from UP at taga-Mindanao? 🥺

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Charity Faith! Yes, meron po! Isang classmate ko, physical therapy course niya from Davao

[@rs-uv1ro]

Marami po ba kayong kakilala na upcm students na chem Ang undergrad ? Or engg?

[@LloydRizada]

Hello! Opo may mga classmates din po ako na Chem, Biochem.. Di ko lang po mabilang kung ilan sila, basta meron.. Yung ibang chem from UPD, meron din from UPLB.. Sa engg naman, meron kaming isang kaklase hehe.. May ibang batch na merong polsci, meron din na arki..

[@rs-uv1ro]

@@LloydRizada thanks po! Congrats po pala 🎉

[@gillaandreasardon3328]

Hi! Pwede po bang sa ibang university nag pre-med po???

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Gilla! Yes po pwede po sa UPCM. Although a huge majority ng batch namin talaga ay from UP campuses. 🙂

[@emeliealmenanza2496]

Hi Doc. Ano pp Pre Med course nyo?

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Emelie! BS Physics po. May video din po ako about it, baka gusto niyong i-check out! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIG2qJigbbmFeKM

[@adiksadiatabs]

Gusto ko style ng UST. No interviews so it’s a surprise 🎉 🎈 🎊 🤡 🪄❓

[@farhahmad3091]

Hi po. Thank you so much po for this very informative video. Just wanna ask... Is it true po ba that during interview, they will be asking you using your own dialect and so you have to use your own dialect also to answer their questions?

[@LloydRizada]

Hi Farh! Thanks for your feedback! In my experience, they didn't ask me to speak in a different local language, English lang and Filipino. Pero this sounds likely, I guess especially if you're applying under the regionalization program. Good luck!
