University of Sto. Tomas ranked first in an independent survey by Local Pulse on the best psychology schools in the country for the third time with a score of 91.2 percent. Ateneo de Manila University takes the second spot, while University of San Carlos ranked third. Other schools who made it in the top 10 include Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Far Eastern University-Manila, and Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.

The list was based on the psychometrician licensure examination results this year, as well as other factors like “accreditation status of the program and faculty-student ratio.”

Results of the 2019 psychometrician board exams were recently released, with 14 students from UST making it in the top 10 passers. UST is the third top-performing school in this year's board exams. ADMU, on the other hand, ranked first as the top-performing schoool after all 57 board exam takers from the university passed.
