A graduating Bachelor of Science major in Biology student from the University of the Philippines in Diliman has broken the highest general weighted average (GWA) in the university’s post-war history.
Tiffany Grace Uy will graduate with an almost-perfect GWA of 1.004, surpassing the previous 1.016 record set by B.S. Mathematics graduate John Gabriel Pelias in 2011.
In an interview with GMA News, Uy said she was shocked and surprised that she received the highest possible grade of 1.0 in most of her subjects.
“It’s a continuous ritual of no sleep and cramming,” she said, adding that she would have been satisfied even if she got a grade of 1.25 in one of her subjects.
“Nobody’s perfect,” she added.
Uy will lead the 29 summa cum laude graduates of the university at commencement exercises tomorrow morning.
Wow, beauty and brains :) Considering that BS Biology is a stepping stone to Medicine course.
Just sharing
