But even so, OP is pulling up wins from decades ago, too. But, I guess those lesser colleges aren't allowed to do that.

It really isn't but somehow UVA boosters think it's a big deal. Odd.

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.
Of course it's important. It's what students and parents look for when applying to college. The fact that UVA is public and the top public producer of Rhodes (after west point) in the US is something everyone in the DCUM area should be proud about. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/universities-by-number-of-rhodes-scholars.html
dp.. parents don't really look at how many Rhodes scholars the college has when their kids apply. They do look at rankings, and UVA is not ranked *that high*. It also depends on the major.
UVA is now a T24. And top public producer of Rhodes Scholars. Sorry you don't like facts. Why can't you be happy we have such great public schools here?
*that high* to me is T10. But congrats. I'm happy for you. Is that better?

UVA is so underrated—truly the best public Ivy.
Is UVA really underrated? By who exactly?

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

UVA is no 8 in the US, the top public producer after West Point. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/universities-by-number-of-rhodes-scholars.html.
It looks like PP listed the most recent years, it says 1986-2017. That is probably more relevant than whoever was getting Rhodes scholars in the early 1900s.
Well that's distorted logic. The fact that UVA wins year after year and has come UP since 2017 argues the opposite. It's no. 8 behind the best privates (all old) and west point. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/universities-by-number-of-rhodes-scholars.html
UVA hasn’t come up in Rhodes more than other similar schools. However many Rhodes they produced from 1900-1950 is pretty irrelevant to today
