[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is Rhodes a big deal? Its scope and selection is so narrow and limited to civic leaderships and English speaking/culture.
People here are treating it like Nobel Prizes, which is a joke.[/quote]
Not a big deal at all except for Insecure UVA boosters. [/quote]

Lol of course it’s a big deal.  It’s without question the single most prestigious scholarship that can be awarded to a graduating senior from a US University.  It’s “not a big deal” only if one is jealous of UVA. [/quote]
It's only a big deal if the person wants to go study at Oxford.  Not everyone cares about that.  But, ok.  UVA is awesome. There.. does that make you feel better?

My STEM kid and their STEM major friends still wouldn't look at UVA, though.[/quote]

Ask your STEM kid if they’d take a Rhodes Scholarship and get back to me. [/quote]
DP.
I asked my MIT kid and they had no interest whatsoever and thought it was a random idea to study in UK.[/quote]
