| | Rhodes Scholarship Interview Experiences (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | One of my professors told me about the Rhodes during my senior year, but I decided not to apply at that time because I really did not have a clear sense of my academic focus, and had not given enough thought as to what type of post-undergrad work I would be pursuing. |
 | | From my experience, those individuals who are awarded the scholarship distinguished themselves not by the grandeur of their accomplishments, but by their ability to communicate well, to express intellectual curiosity and to demonstrate genuine compassion for others. |
 | | More than anything, the Rhodes selection process demonstrated to me how difficult the selection process is for all people involved and how marginal the difference is between those who are fortunate enough to be selected Rhodes scholars and those who are not. |
