[quote=Anonymous]The last few UVA Rhodes Scholars have been Jefferson Scholars. To me that indicates a couple of things. 1. They are using the Jefferson to buy incredibly talented students who otherwise might well have gone to more highly rated schools. That's fine with me - it's kind of the whole point of the program. 2. The Jefferson provides opportunities for research and leadership that translate well into successful Rhodes applications. And then UVA identifies students who are likely to be competitive for national fellowships/scholarships and helps with their application prep. Again - a smart idea that many top universities employ! But the reality is that UVA's Rhodes recipients are drawn from a very small cohort of students handpicked for a full scholarship to attend UVA, and then are provided bonus opportunities that look great on applications, and then receive scholarship application assistance.
