◦The truth about Rizal’s ‘poor’ grades in UST

◦ Summing up, in the 21 subjects taken in the university, Rizal
obtained six Sobresaliente or Excellent, six Notable or
Aprovechado or Very Good, eight Bueno or Good, and one
Aprobado or Passing Grade. On the basis of these records, Fr.
Fidel poses the following seven considerations:
31. 1) Rizal was a good student, above average, though not excellent; but none
of his classmates were excellent either. Rizal was not as gifted for
Medicine as he was for the Letters and Arts.
2) In Madrid, his medical grades were the same or a little lower.
3) He is not on record as having ever complained about his grades in
Santo Tomas, while he did complain about those he received in Madrid.
32. 4) He was never discriminated against in Santo Tomas; on the contrary, he
was favored with a dispensation which few students received.
5) Racial discrimination did not exist in his class, as shown by the fact that
all his Spanish classmates fell by the roadside one by one in the course of
four years.
6) In the fourth and last year in Santo Tomas, only seven students
remained [out of the original batch of 24], and Rizal was one of them.
7) And he ended that year in second place.
We then must examine the motives and methodology of those other Rizal
scholars to understand why they wrote as they did.
