What are the top 3 med schools in the Philippines as of "NOW"?

This is how I would rank it:

1. UP College of Medicine
2. UST Medicine and Surgery
3. FEU-NRMF Institute of Medicine
4. PLM College of Medicine
5. UERMMMC College of Medicine

I would ike to quote philipsquad

"*I believe that with greater minimum requirements, and more selective admissions process, reflects quality and reputation of a particular school."

This might not be totally true. I would like to take FEU as an example. The NMAT has a very small bearing if you want to bea accepted at FEU, the larger concern would be your performance iin college. But despite of this, most applicants are accepted. FEU has a reputation of placing students thru a so called "strainer". I would also like to take my Class as an example. We started out back in 2000 with 400+ students. We graduated 2004 as 150+ in the class. This 150 included those that were delayed and eventually finished with us. So all in all only around 90 students out of the original 400+ finshed in time.

I guess this is FEU's way of screening students. An acceptance never assures you a slot in the graduating class.

But for me, I honestly think that FEU should start stiffening up it's admission process as to avoid rascals students from getting in and eventually finding a way to graduate.

As with FEU's falling reputation, let's wait until after the August boards! I'm very confident that my class will put FEU back on the map and we will regain our glory!

Anyway, my list above is interchangable from ranks 2 to 5.

BEFORE 2004

Here is the top 10 school based on percentage passing on the Philippine Board Exams (August of 2004). Again as Spartan doc said, this is only relevant if you're thinking of reputation in the Philippines. The Phil Board exam questions are crappy and won't prepare you to pass the USMLE. If you're planning to have your residency in the States, then you have to prepare independently to augment your curriculum (especially the basic sciences).
