"why Rhodes" VS "what influnce you to apply to Rhodes"

<p>What is the deference between "why Rhodes" and "What influnce you to apply to Rhodes"? Any advice?</p>

<p>One is talking about the “influence” and the other “Why you will choose Rhodes”?</p>

<p>The influence might be a recommendation from your GC or family or friends, or the CTCL book, or an alum or current student, or some other outside trigger. “Why Rhodes” is more about your personal fit with the school.</p>
