[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Villanova is more prestigious, unless your kid has a STRONG in at a top tier UVA frat/srat house.[/b] [/quote]

Villanova has had 3 Rhodes Scholars in its entire history.  UVA has had 53.[/quote]

Davidson is in the same region as UVA and has over 4X as many Rhodes Scholars on a per capita basis.  Is it 4X as good as UVA?[/quote]

The University of Mississippi has the same number as Georgetown, and both have more than Berkeley.  Sewanee has more than any of those.  Clearly Rhodes scholarships are meaningful, but [b]you shouldn't use it as the only indicator of institutional quality.[/b]

yes, and that's the thing. UVA surpasses Villanova on pretty much every objective measure of institutional quality, Rhodes Scholars included.. [/quote]

Here's a link to colleges ranked by Rhodes recipients  The top ten:

Harvard
Yale 
Princeton
Stanford
West Point
Dartmouth
Brown
[b]UVA[/b]
Chicago
Navy

That's pretty damned good company and means something.
