                admitted to. This is their primary interest in which they intend to further 
                their knowledge and skills.
            *  Alternative Program. In case the applicant does not meet the criteria
of 
                his/her priority program, they will be considered in this program subject
to 
                the criteria set by the College. Once an applicant qualifies in their
priority 
                program, the alternative program is no longer processed.
            *  Track and Strands. These are Senior High School programs that equip
for 
                employment, business, or further education. Select a track/strand that
is 
                aligned to your college plans or career goals.
