    Gentlemen, managers of such a prestigious university, I do not understand why my school was not taken into account for the quotas that the university grants to the poorest schools in this country; Since this opportunity has been given to us in previous years with excellent results, I hope you will consider my request and give me a timely response, thank you

    What kind of possibilities are there to study at that university? Formerly retired from the UPTC of Duitama I was studying for a bachelor's degree in industrial education. I have a portfolio of notes comparable to that of another university. Thank you.
