[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to control for three things here to be able to compare 1) When was the University founded. The Rhodes program started around 1899, so many schools that were found around that time will obviously be very much behind 2) How many apply from each school every year? 3) Normalize for school size Without that this number is meaningless [/quote] There is also a geographic element to the Rhodes - so schools which draw from a limited geography may have fewer candidates because they will all be applying in one of the 16 regions, while someplace like Harvard could have people applying in all 16. My 1800 person SLAC has had 18, which isn't bad. Two of them were good friends of mine and they were definitely encouraged by/supported by the college.[/quote]
