[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’m shocked that UVA has so many. I went there an eon ago, and I didn’t hear anything about applying for a Rhodes or Truman or Marshall or any other of those scholarships. I graduated from UVA with a 4.0 and went to Yale for law school, so I think I would have been competitive if I had applied. But I didn’t know anything about hothouse scholarships until I got to Yale and my classmates were talking about them. [/quote][/b] UVA has an office dedicated to guiding students to these scholarships and helping groom them. My SLAC didn't so I was entirely on my own when I applied for the Rhodes and the Marshall. I made it to regionals on the strength of my GPA and application but I didn't have a clue how to handle the in-person interviews. Later at Harvard Law I learned just how much work the university puts into grooming the students they send out to the regional interviews for both Rhodes and Marshall. [/quote]
