S: that there must be a certain degree of localization, because most of the interviewers or Chinese, they judge the students must be from their position, so the localization process is very natural. But it is a very cosmopolitan society, I think localization is important, but only a fraction of the truly outstanding talent has some common characteristics.
Q: for those future Rhodes scholars in China, do you have any ideas and hope?
S: the absence of a specific request, but my greatest hope was to recruit each student has different qualities, I hope they have different backgrounds, different interests, different majors, because I think China is a very rich country, a wide range of students to represent various aspects of China. No year end awards to look forward to Golden autumn
Q: before Rhodes covers many are and the United Kingdom have history of countries and regions, some disagreement exists in the process of entering China or hinder it, what are the biggest difficulties encountered?

And selected student base in China is so big, no doubt is a needle in a haystack. In other countries there are two selection modes, is a principal recommendation, one student auditions, and in China, we chose a combination of mixed-mode. For Rhodes, external challenge is selected to meet the requirements of students in China, internal problems is how Rhodes has formed inside the closed community of introducing more Chinese elements.
Q: Rhodes Scholarship Selection Committee mainly over China by a Rhodes Scholar and prominent Chinese citizens, what criteria you are members of the selection Committee?
T: the ultimate core Committee member of 7-9 people, selected Standard greatly respected Sir Rod's will, needs to have professional competence and humanism, the Committee of selection which lasted two years, and Rhodes in China is conducted with the rail. We first need to ensure that the proportion of male and female balance, and representatives of different sectors, such as health, business, sports, arts, academic, etc, but it is definitely the leader in all areas.
Q: this Committee is the final selection of the interview group members?
T: Yes. We will arrange two rounds of interviews, the interviewer is the primary by the Ivy League school and Oxford University interviewer, plus Rhodes alumni, formed a group of about 30 people interviewed, via Skype or video conference to the interview, each student according to his two interviewers.
Last 30-40 people through the early, core members of the Committee will read through all of the student's material, and then spend the day out with time, and these applicants, interviews, chats, dinners, they was observed in all, final adoption of the final decision.
Q: would you consider 985, 211 such restrictions?
T: No. Although we accept Ministry of education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of recommends, has North, and Tsinghua, and Fudan, and National Chiao Tung University, and Zhejiang big, and Beijing Normal University six by cooperation school, will in this several by school focus preaching, but we whole of recruitment process, is completely independent of, is world of Chinese are can application of, we will is seriously to treats each a a students of application and interview, as long as you enough excellent, no any of limit.
Q: for students to apply for a Rhodes Scholarship, what do you suggest?
T: don't hesitate, don't give yourself a chance to lazy or timid in front of opportunities, apply at least to give yourself a chance to hone. I think Rod's project was different from any graduate program application, screening and he needs you to have a clear judgement. I think need doing very basic work during the application process, which is based in Oxford admissions criteria, interview requires you to understand yourself, be yourself, show their true side.
Q: imagining what will recruit students?
T: No. I think this is just good sound stage, we are back to the singers, they surprise us.
Q: for Rhodes Scholarships in China's future development: is there any hope?
T: many Western students enrolled in just to be able to apply for a Rhodes Scholar as the goal, Chinese students can also apply for a Rhodes Scholar, the students if I had known this project, it is recommended that you begin your preparations early, understanding of the entire process, whether he will take it as one of his life a possibility. If so, pay close attention to college days, more experience, more books, more eye-opening.
