APPLICATION PERIOD
DEGREES CONFERRED
ELIGIBILITY TO APPLY
Students who have graduated or are graduating 2nd Semester of SY2015-2016 with a BS or
an AB Degree can apply to ASMPH. No required undergraduate degree. However, there are
required subjects.
A student who is graduating 2nd Semester of SY2015-2016 should finish his/her college
requirements by June 2016. Completion of college requirements beyond this period is not
allowed.
REQUIRED SUBJECTS
The applicant may take the required subjects at the Ateneo De Manila University - Loyola
Schools as a non-degree student. He/She will have to coordinate with the Loyola Schools
Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. The ADMU Katipunan, Quezon City
Campus trunk line is +632 4266001.
The applicant can also opt to enroll in another school/college/university to complete his/her
required subjects. However, it is advisable that he/she first submits the course
description/outline of the subject/s to be taken in order to make sure that it will be credited
by the ASMPH.
Please note that completing the required subjects does not guarantee admission to
ASMPH.
RE-APPLICATIONS
An unsuccessful applicant (did not qualify for panel interview, or, interviewed but was not
accepted, or those who were accepted but did not confirm) from the previous admissions
year can re-apply. He/She has to write a letter of intent for re-application, addressed to the
Admissions Committee.
If the applicant last applied for SY2015-2016, ASMPH Admissions Office will reactivate
his/her online application, but he/she has to attach a new essay and a new photo, and
resubmit it again to generate a new applicant ID. He also has to submit requirements that
need to be updated (e.g. Transcript of Records, Certifications, etc.). Otherwise, requirements
submitted the previous year will be used for admissions evaluation.
If the applicant last applied for SY2014-2015 or earlier, an entirely new online application
must be created for the new admissions year. In addition, a new set of application
requirements must be submitted.
After submitting the online application form, application requirements may be sent to the
ASMPH Admissions Office through personal delivery, courier, or regular mail. For those
sending applications through courier and regular mail, the travel/shipping time of
documents must be considered. End of the Application Period is 18 DECEMBER 2015, 3PM
(Philippine local time). Applications submitted/received beyond this deadline will not be
accepted.
Application requirements are accepted at the ASMPH Admissions Office thru a booking
schedule. The schedule of submission should be booked in advance. Call the ASMPH
Admissions to reserve your preferred submission date and time.
The ASMPH Admissions Office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm and 1:00 - 4:00
pm, except holidays (school, local and national holidays) to address Admissions inquiries.
On a case-to-case basis, the Admissions Committee considers an application with below cutoff NMAT score, especially when the applicant shows excellent academic performance.
The NMAT score is valid only for two years. Thus, ASMPH will only accept NMAT scores from
exams taken within the last two years. ASMPH will accept NMAT scores taken APRIL 2014
or later.
NMAT results can follow for an applicant taking/took the test October 2015. However,
review of his/her application will not start until after official NMAT results are submitted.
Applicants are ranked according to their ASMPH Admissions Score based on the GWA/QPI,
NMAT Score, Interview, essay, and other credentials.
We do not disclose the weights of the criteria for admissions.
INTERVIEW PHASE
Only applicants who satisfactorily pass the document review will be scheduled for interview.
ASMPH will inform the qualified applicants for the interview via the online application
system.
Interviews are tentatively scheduled from 11 to 31 JANUARY 2016.
Only students considered for the interview phase will be deliberated for admission.
On the day of the interview, the applicant must be at the venue at least 15 minutes before
the assigned schedule. Come in business/semi-formal attire. Late interviewees will not be
accommodated.
Students residing abroad or areas far from Metro Manila can opt to have their interviews
done thru Skype. The applicant should inform the ASMPH Admissions Officer of their
preference for the interview during the submission of application requirements.
Rescheduling of Interview is strongly discouraged but can be accommodated with valid
reasons, such as:
- emergency situation, or demise of a family member, wherein a letter of explanation
should be submitted,
- sickness of the applicant, wherein a medical certificate is required, or
- an academic exam with no make-up test/activity, wherein a certification from the
professor is required.
TRANSITION PROGRAM
ALL incoming first year ASMPH students are REQUIRED to attend the Transition Program
prior to enrollment for the 1st Semester 2016-2017.
The ASMPH Transition Program, or Transum, is a summer-bridging program that provides
incoming Year Level 5 students with an in-depth orientation to ASMPH as a Jesuit
educational institution and an appreciation of Student Life and Support Services. It seeks to
prepare incoming students for their Medical and Management graduate degree education.
The Transum also initiates the incoming YL5 students to the curriculum and its unique roll
out.
Any student who will obtain a failing grade in any of the modules of the program will
automatically be dropped from the roll and will no longer be allowed to enroll for the First
Semester.
Non-attendance and unnecessary absences in the Transition Program may also mean
dismissal from the ASMPH.
The schedule of the Transition Program will be announced once finalized.
TUITION FEE
Current tuition fee is Php132,000 per semester. This includes tuition, basic, laboratory, and
miscellaneous fees. Annual increase in fees is approximately 5%.
Apart from full payment, there are provisions for installment payments.
Uniforms, books, supplies, and lodging are not covered by the tuition and fees.
Estimated cost of required books are as follows:
- YL5: Php 21,000.00
- YL6: Php 21,000.00
- YL7: Php 16,000.00
Purchasing of books is optional. Books and online resources are also available in the ASMPH
Library.
Financial Aid in ASMPH is not guaranteed/fixed since the scholarship funds are dependent
on contributions/donations of our benefactors. As such, financial aid slots will only be
opened if there are sufficient funds.
There is a separate committee that handles the scholarship applications. They base the
scholarship percentage on need, as well as the students holistic performance.
The applicants who applied for Financial Aid will be shortlisted according to their ASMPH
Admissions ranking. Shortlisted applicants will be called for interview with the
representatives of the Scholarship Committee.
At the moment, ASMPH does not have merit scholarships for Latin honor recipients or
recipients of other academic honors.
The scholarship application form is downloadable from the website. The link will be available
starting November 2015. The form will include a list of the documents/requirements that
have to be submitted with the Financial Aid application form.
The accomplished Financial Aid Application Form with supporting documents must be
submitted together with the Admissions Application requirements.
We will be accepting 160 students for Year Level 5 (First Year Medicine Proper).
A Conditionally Accepted applicant is already considered accepted, thus, he/she can already
confirm his/her slot. However, he/she will have to comply with the condition/s that is/are
stipulated on his/her admissions letter (e.g. submission of final grade of a required subject,
other lacking requirements).
WAITING LIST
In the event that the 160 slots are not filled up after the confirmation of accepted and
Waitlisted Applicants who are considered for admissions to the ASMPH are personally
informed of their change in status, and will also be informed through their online application
account.
Waitlisted Applicants who are not considered for admissions will only be informed through
their online application account.
DEFERRING ADMISSION
If for some reason, an accepted applicant decides not to confirm his/her slot for School Year
2016-2017, he/she can request for a deferment of his/her application. The applicant must
write a formal letter of request for deferment, addressed to the Admissions Committee. It
should be submitted on or before the end of the Confirmation Period, 15 MARCH 2016.
A deferred applicant is only assured of an interview. ASMPH will not guarantee a slot for the
applicant in the succeeding school year. He/She will be ranked again with the rest of the
applicant pool.
On the application period of the school year that the deferred applicant will pursue his/her
application, he/she should submit a letter stating his/her intent to pursue his/her application
for that year.
ASMPH will reactivate his/her online application, but he/she has to attach a new essay and a
new photo, and resubmit it again to generate a new applicant ID. He/She also has to submit
requirements that need to be updated (e.g. Transcript of Records, Certifications, etc.).
Otherwise, requirements submitted the previous year will be used for admissions
evaluation.
Deferred applications should be pursued not later than the immediately following school
year.
