Bluebayou/parent56 - I kind of understand the process but I wonder about the selection committees. I am from Houston and I see my zone picked two Stanford students. While I am happy for them, I don’t understand what diversity two students from the same zone attending the same college bring to this process. They might both be excellent candidates but if I was responsible, I would have told this committee they can’t choose more than one student from the same school.

I have seen past Rhodes lists but don’t remember one tited this much in the direction of so few schools.
