Which just goes to prove that Rhodes Scholars don’t always attend prestigious universities. It’s a nice accolade to brag about, but really isn’t important when ranking universities.

LOL. It was just 1 year, not really a big sample size. Stanford and Duke do more than fine for prestigious postgrad scholarships: https://www.k-state.edu/about/scholars/NationalScholarsRankingChart2017%20allschools.pdf
From 1986-2017:
1. Harvard
2. Yale
3. Stanford
4. Princeton
5. Duke
6. MIT

Stuyvesant High School's alumni assoc posts Rhodes Scholars and they have one or two about every year. Does it matter where they went to college? Not sure.
