LAC's by Rhodes scholarship winners

[Aymyrat]

As far as I know Rhodes scholarship s distributed by the state of residence, not college attendance. Anyway, I agree that it is important factor.

2. Rhodes is just one competitive fellowship. There are others like it such as the Churchill, Gates Cambridge, and Marshall Scholarships which should also be considered if trying to make comparative analysis of performance among LACs. You also have to situate a time frame. For instance, if you look at the last ten years, Pomona leads the LACs in winners receiving Churchill Scholarships (5) and Gates Cambridge Scholarships (6). Williams and Wheaton College MA lead the LACs for winners of the Marshalls Scholarship in the last ten years (3).

Agree, this is very good point. I wish every scholarship had the list of colleges by scholarship winners.

But, still looking at the list, you can say that Williams, Amherst, Haverford and Swarthmore live up to their reputation, despite being in very tough neighborhood, but Pomona doesn’t. And Massachutes certainly is tougher than California.
