UE still ranks number 1 in dentistry

The University of the East continued its number one (1) billing in Dentistry as the UE College of Dentistry obtained a 93 per cent passing mark, the highest among dental schools nationwide, as shown in the 2008 May-June Dentist Licensure Examination results released recently by the Professional Regulations Commission.

In the latest licensure examination, UE was classified among schools with 26-99 examinees. Sixty-two UE graduates passed; three passers in the top ten, out of the 67 examinees the UE College of Dentistry fielded, where they underwent three-day theoretical and two-day practical examinations.

UE’s three topnotchers are: Mikael Querol C. Nisce, second place (83.91 per cent); Charlston E. Uy, sixth place (82.70 per cent); and Joanna Marie Nicole M. Porter, seventh place (82.66 per cent). Uy graduated Cum Laude and received the College Distinguished Award during the UE’s 2008 Year-end Commencement Exercises.

According to UE College of Dentistry Dean Brenda S. Dey, this latest feat of the UE graduates is an all-time high passing percentage, achieving more than 90 per cent for the third time and sustaining a passing average of 84 per cent over the years.
The traditional testimonial dinner in honor of UE’s topnotchers, successful examinees and the faculty of instructions will be at the Kachina Room, Century Park Hotel on Tuesday, July 8 at 6:30 p.m., after their oath-taking ceremonies.

Isn't your article misleading? there are 3 categories of dental schools, so it would be more accurate to state that UE ranks number one only in its category. There are other schools which obtained 100% passing rate compared to UE's 93%. So in order to be fair and as not to confuse the readers,kindly make your article more accurate. Thank you.
