With acceptance letters en route to students, it’s time for a refresher course on “Acceptance to an Elite School Does Not Guarantee Anything– Nor Does Non-Acceptance.” Here is a list of the schools that the 2014 Rhodes Scholars attended:
- Washington University (St Louis)
- University of Virginia
- Yale
- University of Wisconsin
- Mississippi State University
- Harvard
- United States Military Academy
- University of Chicago
- Smith
- University of Tennessee
- Princeton
- Georgia Institute of Technology
- Williams
- MIT
- Wake Forest
- Dartmouth
- UC Berkeley
- Stanford
- Villanova
- NYU (Abu Dhabi campus)
- Carnegie Mellon
So yes, the usual suspects– Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc.– are well-represented on this list, but clearly by no means mandatory for admission to this most exclusive of clubs.
