Admission Requirements
To better prepare each student with the tasks, activities and responsibilities that lay ahead, each must pass both written (conducted on the 3rd Saturday of February) and oral (conducted on the 2nd Saturday of March) entrance examination.
To qualify for the initial exam, all applicants must be part of the upper 10% of their graduating class and must have at least a grade of 85% in Science, Math, and English and 83% or above in all other subject areas in any grading period or the equivalent grade as to the grading system used by their respective primary schools as duly certified by its principal. Pupils graduating from Science Elementary Classes are required with a grade of at least 83% in Science, Math, and English and 80% in all other subject areas.
The examination is in Science, Math and Mental Ability with which the examinee must get 83% and 80% of the total score in Science and Math, respectively, and at least an above average IQ. Successful examinees qualify for the next oral exam, an interview which tackles all subject areas. The screening committee determines the top 140 students (recently 175), who are to confirm their enrollment for a certain period. Finally, all successful enrollees should attend the school's orientation program as scheduled together with their parents or guardian.

Famous quotes containing the word admission:
“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations. I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
