Never heard of it before Amy Coney Barnett got nominated. The funny thing was that she was referred to as a “Rhodes scholar” in some press releases. That’s one way to spin the name of this school.

It is known as a school for not too bright upper echelon society people.

Looking at your list, the one I would look most closely at is Auburn. It “feels” smaller than it is, because of the welcoming vibe. Yet has terrific teaching, huge resources and alumni. And it’s fun! It also is a rare 50/50 m/f split outside of the T15, which I do think impacts both the social and academic experience of all students for the better.

I note another person asked if C of C was honors college, which I agree is awesome. But the m/f ratio there and Elon is awful.

YCBK (I know lots of people of sick of this podcast) just did a spotlight on Rhodes
