<p>Dude opens up a thread with woefully incomplete information. Dumb.</p>
<p>He’s posted this same list in several different forums too, including twice on this one…</p>
<p>Here’s a neat website:

<p>^^ Lennon – that is where I got my statistics. It took me about 45 minutes to sort out the OP’s mess.</p>
<p>Very interesting list!</p>
<p>Don’t Rhodes Scholarships have an athletic component? It’s not all brain, but rather a conflation of different traits, I think?</p>
<p>

<p>Officially:</p>

<p>These days, having participated in formal sports is not a requirement, but it helps, especially to have been good.</p>
<p>I have a friend who was a Rhodes scholar years ago, and she said the athletic component is pretty lame. Some half-hearted, no talent attempt is fine. She herself took a PE class in fencing in college and that was enough.</p>
<p>coureur,</p>
<p>I am suprised at you! One who professes to “love Rome” – and by extension all things “Old World” (I imagine) – might have a little more regard for fencing. </p>
<p>If you have never taken it, I can tell you that it takes coordination, dexterity, balance, speed, quickness, strategy and stamina (try keeping your legs in the ‘en garde’ position as you execute all the various moves involved in a match for minutes on end. You’ll quickly find out what kind of shape you are in!) It is a wonderful discipline – and a bona fide sport!
Wasn’t it one of the sports included when the Olympics were resurrected in Athens in 1896(?)?</p>
<p>Back to the subject, Boston College had 2 Rhodes Scholars in the referenced time frame.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I have the highest regard for fencing. My point was more that you don’t have to win any honors or even be any good at a sport to be able to check the box for a Rhodes scholarship. Fencing is a fine sport. But my friend had no talent and a only very superficial exposure to the sport, yet that was enough for the Rhodes people.</p>
<p>Quite alright! Anyone who loves Rome is a-okay in my book.</p>
<p>Enjoyed your historical descriptions of the Eternal City on Parent’s Cafe, last December, for the thread about visiting Florence and Rome.</p>
<p>Rome has always had a special place in my heart…always will.</p>
<p>This is an updated list of Rhodes winners that includes all the Top 25 Colleges and Top 10 LACs, according to U.S. News.
Students awards is one of the components used by Forbes and others in evaluating student quality. I am showing the Rhodes since it is easy determine (it is on their website.) Maybe someone else could post Fulbright or MacArthur. This list is NOT adjusted for school size, as Forbes does. (In addition, the Rhodes Trust says it is not valid to compare the early days of the award – the 1900s – with the present, since they have changed the way they select winners over the years. So I am sticking with recent years.)</p>

<p>Again that’s an incomplete list that doesn’t accurately reflect which schools produce the most Rhodes scholars. Even with the post-2000 component a number of schools have produced more Rhodes scholars than the top 25 universities and top 10 lacs. Btw I think its a bad metric (and I think your implying this along with ranking systems like Forbes) to say that because 10 or so students (out of thousands) in the past decade have received Rhodes, it says something more substantial about the quality of the institution.</p>
