Rhodes Scholar Schools

Schools with two scholarship winners a Harvard University in
Cambridge, Massachusetts; Princeton University in New Jersey; Columbia
University in New York; the University of Georgia in Athens, and St.
Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. A scholar was selected from each
of the major service academies, the U.S. Military Academy in West Point,
New York; the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and the U.S.
Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Ivy League schools have long dominated the Rhodes competition in the
U.S. Before today's announcement, Harvard had the highest total of
Rhodes scholars, with 319, while Yale had 215 and Princeton had 187.

Last year, Harvard accounted for six of the scholars and Yale
University, in New Haven, Connecticut, had four. Yale had one this year.

I recall reading somewhere that the service academies get one each, pro
forma.

George W. Bush lost his chance when he addressed his letter to the "Dear

I tried to talk my son into going to UGA instead of Columbia. I have
sent him this article also;.

Sometime I'll have to tell you about the admissions experience we had
at a certain unnamed Ivy League school.

It was very instructive of the nature of Political Correctness.

I really don't think there is any correct way to fill out the essay. I
don't think they even know what they are looking for, except maybe
Panache.

I know my son's essay reeked of Panache, and took a direction I would
not call PC in any sense of the word. My daughters was the epitome of
what you would expect in an admissions essay. She did not get in her
top choice, but is very happy at U of Mich. Again, UGA is just as good
as Mich., but that was free and much closer to home.
