<p>LACs are well represented here, even when comparing total # of scholarships. When considered in terms of scholarships per capita, they would rank even higher.</p>
<p>Nice thread,
but you do realize you've opened yet another Pandora's Box of stuff like... this ranking is flawed it does not indicate the quality and amazing nature of my school and it is senseless to rank schools this way because of no.1 no.2 and blah blah blah, as well as the judgemental i.e. omg another ranking why is the whole world obsessed with rankings what a fallen society and etcetera ;)</p>
<p>And it's not so useful for HS students trying to gauge school quality without the numbers being scaled to the total number of students at each school.</p>
<p>I'm sure this list will be ignored (though informative) since the top 10 are

<p>and then sizably gaps down. All lists that don't include HYPMS in the top 10 seem to be ignored in these forums though it might support an argument that HYPMS are not the end all and the be all.</p>
<p>I agree that the list shouldn't be relied on for school selection, but it's definitely interesting and, taken in the proper context, useful/enlightening.</p>
<p>For example, Pitzer College often gets overlooked/underrated because it has the lowest ranking of the 5 Claremont colleges, and yet the school holds multiple records for having the most Fulbright scholars of any college of its size (according to the given list, 15 out of an entire student body of <1000; according to the Pitzer website, 18--14 + 4 alums), which speaks volumes about the caliber and character of the school's students.</p>
<p>It's definitely a list that should be understood in the context of many, many other pieces of info (including the fact that this particular stat can change drastically year to year), and shouldn't be a be-all-end-all anything, but it's still pretty interesting, I think!</p>
<p>If you did it per capita, the top 10 would be slightly different - I think Pitzer and Pomona would be the top....followed by Brown Penn and Duke</p>
<p>What if we added up Truman, Marshall, Rhodes, and Udall scholarships with Fullbright...might that be more telling?</p>
<p>I don't know TheThoughtProcess. I think the top 10 per-capita would all be LACs. Pitzer, Pomona, Smith, Bowdoin, Williams, Middlebury, Grinnell, Amherst, Kenyon and Wellesley. </p>
<p>I would love to see the top institution in the production of Truman, Rhodes, Marshall, Fullbright and Udall...over the last 20 years or so. That should be interesting.</p>
<p>Yeah, didn't mean to stir up trouble with this list, just thought it adds one more data point in assessing schools. Don't have the energy to calculate the list per capita, but yes that would be interesting! </p>
<p>I arbitrarily included only the USNWR top 25 universities and LACs (with a few exceptions like Pitzer and Kenyon), but there are a lot of other great schools with significant # of Fulbrights (Like UNC with 7*). Of course, this also favors schools with strong international studies programs; tech schools would not be expected to do well here.</p>
<p>Finally, some schools broke down undergrad from grad recipients (not a problem with LACs), but some didn't. Didn't know what to do with those, so just noted it with an asterisk. It definitely over-ranks those with combined numbers, though.</p>
<p>Even though the OP is from NC, it appears, he somehow forgot to include UNC-CH, also top public university. (He included only 3 top publics.) So I'll include it for him. I've tried to find info about the other scholarships as well, at least for UNC-CH. ;)</p>
<p>SarahsDad: Sorry; we cross-posted. You mentioned that this was "USNWR top universities," not the "top 25 universities," so I naturally expected UNC to be in there, since it's ranked by USNWR as a top (#5) public. ;)</p>
<p>Jack, no offense taken. I know UNC well - couldn't convince my D to apply there - "too close to home". I'd personally say it's one of the top 3 publics (with UVa, Berkeley) and rising fast.</p>
<p>A single year says more about the students than their schools. A multi-year total would say something about the schools. Five, ten, twenty years? But per capita, please.</p>
<p>School size will be very interesting, about 3 out of every 50 graduates from Pitzer won one, one out of every 18 from Pomona. Compared to 1 out of ~65 at Brown, 1 out of 300 at Berkeley, these are things that should be considered. Does anyone care to take this on with excel?</p>
<p>I don't think Per Capita would be a good adjustment for this - having more kids doesn't mean having more people who apply for the Fullbright...just because its a very specific type of scholarship.</p>
<p>Though any school with 10+ is fine in my book.</p>
