<p>Given that Rhodes scholarships are allocated regionally, this distinction means a lot less than you might think. UCLA is a strong school in a Rhodes district that is incredibly competitive (California, which includes all campuses of the UC, the Claremont Colleges, Caltech, and Stanford).

Did you know there are only 32 Rhodes Scholarships given out in the US each year, but that 10 are given out in Australia, with 1/15 the population of the US?
