I always wanted to try UP. Last year, I was supposed to apply for Law school. But something urgent came up and I needed to be back in Cebu. I actually frequented the school just so I could soak in the feel of studying there. Almost everyday in that one month stay in manila I visit the school to review for LAE. The hard sciences are really just for the very few. Those who succeed are really those who are passionate about it. You started on the right track since you have UP for credential and an experience that I'm quite sure will only make you strong out there, beyond college. Good luck! btw, you really have good layout for your post. I'll learn to post like you. Great job!
