<p>I was going to post only the top 10, but i decided to go all the way to 20 because I felt kind of bad for …Harvard…and could not even reach to Yale! (wait for posterx now to begin rationalizing this list as of to per capita and percentages validity, etc…)</p>

<p>luckily those arguments should be easily debunked by the fact that Cornell and Berkeley both appear on the list and are huge schools :)</p>

<p>clearly pitzer is the best school in the country student for student</p>

<p>Helll yeah. We make it rain Fulbrights.</p>

<p>Pomona produced 6 Fulbright Scholars in one year???</p>

<p>ok i'd like to delete my post :)</p>

<p>These data you posted above are inaccurate and incomplete. Chronicle of Higher Education posts accurate data which, for the Ivies, is:</p>

<p>1 Yale U. 31
2 Harvard U. 25
3 Brown U. 24
4 Columbia U. 21</p>

<p>7 U. of Pennsylvania 18</p>

<p>9 Cornell U. 15 </p>

<p>14 Princeton U. 13</p>

<p>Dartmouth: Fewer than 10 (wasn't in the top 25)</p>

<p>Are you sure you're not counting cumulative numbers for Yale? ;-}</p>

<p>BTW, here's a blurb on Barret Honors College at ASU
Barrett Honors College at ASU Tempe</p>

<p>In 1988, the Arizona Board of Regents created the Honors College at ASU. Among the first honors colleges in the country, the program quickly rose to a position of preeminence. Only six years after its creation, Money Magazine named Barrett Honors College one of the top eight honors programs in the United States.</p>

<p>Today, the Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University is responsible for recruiting academically outstanding undergraduates to ASU. Together, the university and the college provide these students with an intellectually and socially vibrant environment within the context of a larger university. One in which they can benefit from being with others of the same intellectual preparation but different talents and interests.</p>

<p>From 1988 through 2003, enrollment in the college has increased from 800 students to approximately 2,700 students majoring in all disciplines throughout the university. Among the recognition and accomplishments of the college:</p>

<p>Barrett Honors College was named “Best in America” by the editors of Reader’s Digest in May 2005.
The 2003 freshman class included 173 National Merit Scholars; in 1988, there were fewer than ten National Merit Scholars on campus. In fact, fully 25 percent of students at the honors college receive national merit-based scholarship awards.
By 2005, ASU had 69 Fulbright grants, a success rate almost double the national average; 29 Goldwater Scholars, recognizing outstanding undergraduate achievement in the sciences and engineering; and 13 Truman Scholars, rewarding public service and academic achievement.
Since 1991, 12 Marshall Scholarships for postgraduate study in the United Kingdom were awarded.
Since 1995, three students have been awarded Rhodes Scholarships.
The cumulative impact of these distinctions received signal recognition from the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation in 1996 when it named ASU a Truman Honor Institution for its success in promoting service to the community as a value among undergraduate students. </p>

<p>Dear moviebuff could you please give me the link to where you obtained this information? Thank you.</p>

<p>lmao @ kstate ... mostly drunk football fans go there</p>

<p>looks like they've got a few good ones hidden in the mix</p>

<p>renix -- don't doubt the number of smart people at non prestigious state schools. There are smart people EVERYWHERE. People go to different schools for all kinds of reasons.</p>

<p>MovieBuff, totals don't mean much; how about percentage by size of student body?</p>

<p>Well, obviously totals mean a lot to some people and to some organizations. Have you looked at how USNews uses some information for rankings?...
Anyway, does it really matter? I was just passing some news worthy information. I was not trying to make any statistical analysis of data.</p>

<p>Heres the list for whatever it's worth <a href="http://exchanges.state.gov/education/fulbright/recipients/2007/recipients2.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://exchanges.state.gov/education/fulbright/recipients/2007/recipients2.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>MY GOD WHO CARES? The Fullbright is just one, of many, prestitious awards / fellowships and really does not convey much about the quality of a school, or its students.</p>

<p>hey does anyone have a list of all the most prestigious awards and fellowships awarded in college</p>

<p>If so could you please list them all</p>
