Isn’t it ridiculous to pick so many (17) from so few schools? The whole process seems biased.



Don’t forget that Rhodes is a geographic thing, so students can use their home state instead of say, California or Massachusetts, if attending Stanford or Harvard respectively.

Secondly, some colleges put a LOT of resources, i.e., advising/counseling, into supporting such types of applicants. Other colleges, such as many/most publics, do not.
