Great job for FEU-NRMF! A lone topnotcher landing at number 1 ahead of perennial board toppers from UST [with successful examinees at nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 10] and UP-Manila [3, 4, 8 & 9] is something that the FEU community should be proud of. Though not among the top performing schools this year, as presented by PRC in its website news, FEU's decent 71% passing rate ranked fifth under the category 100 or more examinees, behind UE-RMMC's 79% [4th].

In the 50-99 examinees category, Cebu Institute of Medicine maintained its number 1 position with a perfect score, 56 of 56. CIM is the only one among top-ranking med schools with a 100% passing rate this year.
