I submitted my requirements early, why I am not included in the list?
Regardless of the earliest possible date of submission, there are many considerations to be made for an applicant to be included in the list of examinees, such as:
- Complete and error-free information provided on the application form and other submitted requirements and;

I am not available to pay on-site on my date of payment, what should I do?

What are the basis to be included in the list of examinees?
There are many considerations, and factors to be included in the list of examinees released, such as:
- Completeness and error-free of the details indicated in the application form;
- Completeness and error-free attached and submitted requirements;
- Compliance with the General Weighted Average (GWA) or Grade requirements; and
- The date and time of submission of the applicant of all of these requirements.
If you believe that you have completed all of these, there’s a probability for you to get included.
I am non-makati applicant, what will be my chance of being enlisted as examinees?
The University of Makati accepts non-Makati applicants, given that their grades/General Weighted Average (GWA) must be equivalent to 90% or higher.
I am Makati-resident applicant, what will be my chance of being enlisted as examinees?
The University of Makati accepts Makati-resident applicants, given that you/the applicant complies the following:
- The applicant is a graduate of any Makati public junior/senior high school.
- Otherwise, the applicant presented the latest voter’s certification (for 18 years old and above) or parents/siblings’ voter’s certification (if below 18 years old).
If the applicant has no voter’s certification from parents/siblings, an Affidavit of Guardianship from DSWD must be presented by the applicant.
For my information, again, how to compute my General Weighted Average (GWA)?
As indicated on the Google form used on the application and submission of requirements, here’s how you need to know:
For Graduating Senior High School Students, compute your Grade 11 GWA
Grade 11 GWA = (1st Semester GWA + 2nd Semester) / 2
For Senior High School Completers/Graduates, compute for the Average of your Grades 11 and 12 GWA
Example: Grade 11 GWA: 90; Grade 12 GWA: 92; 90 + 92 = 182; 182 / 2 = 91; Average of Grades 11 and 12 GWA = 91
For Transferees, compute your GWA of all semesters attended.
For OLD Curriculum Transferees, compute your GWA of all the semesters attended. Take note that OLD Curriculum College Transferees must have at least 2 years or 4 semesters of tertiary education
For 2nd coursers, use the final GWA reflected in your Transcript of Records (TOR)
For ALS Passers, use your passing rate reflected in your ALS Certificate of Rating
