[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Goldwater Scholars count over last 5 years:

Amherst 11
Williams 5
Harvard 21
Hopkins 20
MIT 19
Columbia 23

A school can only nominate 4 applicants per year so again size does not matter.

Past 5 Years:

William and Mary 10
UVA 9
VT 9
Berkeley 8

The only logical conclusion is Berkeley sucks at STEM. . .

Been watching this for days......

NewsFlash!

[b]Nobody gives a rats ass about Goldwater scholars.[/b] They have nothing to do with school quality or any of this ranking nonsense.

[b]And, nobody cares about USMAO either[/b]

It also tells us nothing about the quality of the school but says much about yourself, but not anything good.

[b]Same goes for Apkers[/b] They're cool but say nothing about a school. A kid from Houghton won a few years ago in 2021 it was Kutztown and UMass-Boston. None of those awards resulted in a new deluge of applications to the new 'it' school for Physics.

So Please, just calm down and go back to arguing about whether or not top SLACs are the equals of the Ivies.[/quote]

I imagine the students who went through the Goldwater process probably thought it was worthwhile.  Money + a leg up on graduate school admissions.[/quote]

I imagine that they do, it is a great prize. But to somehow equate any of these individual awards to school rankings and equality is beyond stupid. There have been Goldwater winners with B average GPAs.[/quote]

There have been Goldwater winners with B average GPAs.

Cite some.  You won't because you are full of shit.[/quote]
