A lot of this rage could& #39;ve been minimized had UST published a clear metric in regards to how they give USTAR Score. I get that the comment invalidating our efforts as USTSHS is uncalled for because we worked our asses off for this, but I think we need to admit that

we have the upper hand. The reason why I went to USTSHS is because I was aware of this perk. I know we& #39;ve worked a lot, but those non Thomasians probably did, too. We both did but we were prioritised because we are USTSHS. Having privilege is not a bad thing

Especially for us students who are trying our best to climb our way up. We all are fighting. I think what& #39;s wrong is being unable to acknowledge the privilege we have and not doing anything to level the playing field. This is not to say I support the people who throw

their frustrations at us. I don& #39;t think it was necessary to come at us. I made lots of sacrifices in UST. This is just a problem deeply rooted in the flaws of our education system: meritocracy, how the financially abled are able to go to known schools and gain domino benefits
