<p>Well, SAT scores are the metric most people reach for. Thank you for clawing back thirty years worth of Rhodes scholarships to prove your point. This isn’t to take away from Swarthmore’s success, but, if you want a Rhodes (which, btw, favors colleges with a lot of geographic diversity), or a Fulbright, both of which require nearly four years of nearly flawless politicking, a small school with lots of available handlers is the place to go.</p>
