I. DEFINITION OF TERMS:

Note: Cut-off scores vary by program based on the required level of competency, as determined by the Academic Unit.

The applicant met the cutoff scores set by the Academic Unit and is qualified for second screening. This may include an interview, a talent test (e.g., audition), or a similar activity. Please refer to the instructions on your results page for details.
Note: Qualifying for second screening does not guarantee admission. Applicants must still pass the second screening to be accepted into the program.
3. ON-WAITING LIST
The applicant met the required cutoff scores for the chosen program. However, due to limited slots, he/she must wait for further instructions and will be considered for admission only if slots become available.

The applicant did not meet the Academic Unit's cutoff scores for both the priority and alternative programs.
Note: Cutoff scores vary by program based on the required level of competency, as determined by the Academic Unit.
5. PRIORITY PROGRAM (COLLEGE APPLICANTS ONLY)
This is the program selected as the applicant's primary choice, where he/she intends to enroll and develop his/her knowledge and skills.
6. ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (COLLEGE APPLICANTS ONLY)
If the applicant does not meet the cutoff scores for the priority program, they may be considered for the alternative program, subject to its cut-off scores. If the applicant qualifies for the priority program, the result for the alternative program is no longer processed.

EHS USTET RESULTS
For applicants to Education High School (EHS), please wait for the official communication, via email, from the EHS Principal's Office regarding your interview schedule, which forms part of the screening process.
Applicants who qualify for admission will be promptly notified and guided on the steps to confirm their slot and settle the confirmation fee. Enrollment procedures will follow thereafter.
ALTERING USTET RESULTS
In previous years, some applicants claimed that their USTET results changed after viewing. These claims were thoroughly investigated and found to be unsubstantiated; submitted screenshots were identified as altered or digitally manipulated.
Please note that once released, USTET results are final and cannot be changed. All data are securely stored and protected to ensure accuracy and integrity.
In case of any dispute, the results shown in the University's Freshmen Admission System will prevail and are considered final.
Any attempt to alter or misrepresent USTET results will lead to disqualification from admission and may have legal consequences.
