What are the quota courses in UST?
These are some of the courses which have high quota courses:
BS Pharmacy
During the USTET for SY 2012-2013, only 305 students [only those who chose this as their 1st choice] among the many applicants were accepted [I just didn't know the number for the 2nd choice].
BS Medical Technology
There is really a great number of applicants who choose this course. There are instances that your USTET grade is within their cut-off score, however, because of this course being so much in demand, it prefers students with much higher USTET grade [even if you're w/in the quota] resulting to more students being Waitlisted.
BS Psychology
I heard that this program accomodates only 6 sections.
BS Physical Therapy
For your information, BS PT in UST only have 3 sections! Even though you passed this course, you still have to undergo Interview for screening. They will look into your 4th year latest grades. Also, they will let you accomplish a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire wherein your health status will be assessed.
BS Accountancy
This program has 20 or 20+ (not sure but it ranges between these) sections. Given that it accepts many applicants, it still has a very high quota. UST is good in Accountancy. It usually places among the top 10 accountancy board exam takers.
BS Nursing
If you choose Nursing and was able to be within it's cut-off score, what you will see in your result is FOR INTERVIEW. Being one of UST's centers of excellence, expect that this program has a very tough screening.
*** Even though you are an Outstanding Student during your High School years, don't be too confident that you'll be able to pass your chosen UST program. There are many instances wherein outstanding students in our school weren't able to get in to their preferred program, [especially in BS Medical Technology]. The bottom line for this is to STUDY, STUDY, STUDY! Don't listen to those people saying that USTET is so much easy. You wouldn't be able to tell that until you get your results.
***As of 2010, UST already have a much higher standards when it comes to your USTET results.

You can obtain more Master Balls by going into the Lottery in the department store of Lilycove City or Lumiose City in X and Y. This is very rare, but it is definitely possible. If you are playing the Generation XI games, you can play the mini game called Mine Cart Adventure on Global Link to possibly win a Master Ball as well.
