[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the number of Rhodes Scholarship winners by institution. UVA has 50. The only institutions with more winners are Brown, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, West Point & Yale. That is some elite company. You aren't going to produce Rhodes Scholars with mediocre academic programs. The scholars are an exceptional subset of an already impressive student body. http://www.rhodesscholar.org/assets/uploads/Rhodes%20Scholarships_Number%20of%20Winners%20by%20Institution_10_15_14.pdf[/quote] The Jefferson Scholar program is UVa gives full rides to a small, very elite group of students that would be accepted at any college in the country. These students are very academically successful (e.g., receiving Rhodes/Fullbright scholarships) but I don't believe that their success reflects the quality of the faculty and the school as much as these kids are academic "ringers."[/quote]
