Manila Universities are Overhyped!
Indeed, Manila universities are grossly overhyped as i have written previously.
In the recently published result of the Architecture board exam, UST, a school in Manila got three topnotchers, while the provincial school USC got two topnotchers (top 2 and 4).
Hey UST has 3, and USC has only 2?!
Well, i’m not finished yet.
USC (Univ. of San Carlos) - 68% (13/19) 13 passed out of 19 takers
UST - 56% (35/63) 35 passed out of 63 takers
USC even with few exam takers it still able to have two topnotchers. In numbers that’s 11% excellent students for USC, while UST has only 5% excellent ones.
Just got lucky?!
Nope.
On our Architect’s board last 2006, USC had 2 topnotchers, I think UST got 3. USC had 13 passers out of 26, UST had 57 passers out of 144 takers, that’s 50%.
USC with fewer students produced more academically good graduates.
Let me show you the nursing exam results this year (2008). Just the passing percentage.
A. WITH 100 AND MORE EXAMINEES
1 Saint Louis University (Baguio) 146/144 99.00 %
2 Xavier University (Cagayan de Oro) 233/229 98.00 %
3 Silliman University (Dumaguete) 321/312 97.00 %
NOTHING FOLLOWS———————-
B. WITH 30-99 EXAMINEES
1 Trinity University of Asia (Trinity – Quezon City, that’s Manila) 41 40 98.00 %
2 Mindanao State University ( Marawi City) 76 74 97.00 %
University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center (another Manila, thankfully) 31 30 97.00 %
3 Palawan State University (P. Princesa) 57 54 95.00 %
NOTHING FOLLOWS———————-
Where is the much overhyped UST in the list? UST is way down the list with 75% rate.
Ateneo and De Lasalle probably don’t have architecture and nursing courses.
I have nothing against Manila schools. I just like to encourage those students and graduates from Philippine provincial universities that we “promdis” are clearly at par if not better.

Not to forget that the topnotcher last year in the bar exam was a ‘promdi’. He did not even attend review school. Studied on his own.
At least he was humble when the media made a fuzz over him. Unlike Janina San Miguel. Hehehehe.
