Congratulations, UP College of Medicine Class of 2018 qualifiers!

A READER requested that I post the results of admission process of the University of the Philippines College of Medicine here, in this blog. First thing I noticed: lots of Chuas and Tans in the list. There are many students with similar surnames, too: Crisostomo, Diaz, Lukban, Milla, Mina ... and the staple Reyes and Santos, among others. I don't know if these students are all related; some probably are. Goes to show that some clans breed doctors.

Imagine the confusion of having a classmate with the same surname as yours in the event that the professor announces—family name first—who will take the finals, who are exempted, who will repeat the course, who will endorse a patient, and so on. Ah, the agony of surprise.

See you around PGH! Get as much sleep as you can because when med school starts, you won't be getting any. That's hyperbole, of course, but you get the point.

The names after the cut.
