Stuyvesant High School's alumni assoc posts Rhodes Scholars and they have one or two about every year. Does it matter where they went to college? Not sure.

LOL. It was just 1 year, not really a big sample size. Stanford and Duke do more than fine for prestigious postgrad scholarships: https://www.k-state.edu/about/scholars/NationalScholarsRankingChart2017%20allschools.pdf

From 1986-2017:

1. Harvard

3. Stanford
4. Princeton
5. Duke

University of Virginia has had 57 Rhodes Scholarship winners. That’s the most of any college or university in the South, the eighth most of any school overall, and the third most of any non-Ivy League university.

WVU, Montona, MS... much more impressive than UVA, IMO, because those universities aren't known for their strong academics.

Which just goes to prove that Rhodes Scholars don’t always attend prestigious universities. It’s a nice accolade to brag about, but really isn’t important when ranking universities.
