But DC went through the undergrad application process, which I was involved in, although towards the end I hired a coach to review the essays.  As for self, I was in a slac that doesn't send many students to Rhodes or Marshall so was grossly unprepared for regionals. Unlike Harvard, my slac did no coaching for the Rhodes.  I said I wanted to get into the PPE programme which is embarrassing since it exists only for undergrad not grad.  I had a strong history record though and was no 1 in slac, etc.  Interesting process but I clearly didn't know what I was doing.[/quote]

Eh, I was a Rhodes finalist from Harvard.  There was no coaching.  And it's pretty common for Rhodes winners to do a second BA, with PPE a common choice (I ended up there on a different fellowship but knew several of the Rhodes winners). [/quote]

I, too, went to Harvard. Of course there's coaching. endless! No, Rhodes do not do a second batchelors. every one i know did an MPhil or DPhil. [/quote]
