I want to apply to Rhodes—what is the procedure?

You may apply either online or by traditional paper application—choose the method most convenient for you. And while we waive the $45 application fee for online applicants, all applications receive equal consideration.

As you follow the steps outlined below, take time to ensure that everything is complete, accurate and has all required signatures (if using a paper application) so we can process your application without delay.

Step 1: Review our admissions application and financial aid deadlines.

 

Step 2: Submit your application.

I want to apply online.

• Complete the Rhodes Online Application

• OR you may complete the Common Application with the Rhodes College Supplement.

I want to submit a paper application.

• Download the Rhodes Application Part I (PDF) and Part II (PDF), and mail your completed application to the Rhodes Office of Admissions with a non-refundable check for $45.
• OR you may download a print version of the Common Application (PDF) and Common Application Supplement (PDF). Submit the completed application to the Office of Admissions with a non-refundable check for $45.

Step 3: Submit the appropriate supporting materials.

• Request that your high school transcript(s) and SAT I and/or ACT test scores be sent to the Office of Admissions. (Rhodes’ SAT code is 1730, and its ACT code is 4008)
• Give the Counselor’s Report (PDF) and Senior Year Progress Report (PDF) forms to your high school counselor.
• Home-schooled students must request that two SAT II subject tests other than English or Mathematics be sent to the Office of Admissions.
• Give the Teacher’s Recommendation Form (PDF) to one of your junior or senior level teachers to complete.
• Submit the Early Decision Agreement (PDF) signed by you, your parents and high school/college guidance counselor if you wish to be considered under the Early Decision Plan.
• Submit the CSS PROFILE and FAFSA if you are applying for need-based financial aid.
• Transfer students: be aware that you must submit additional supporting materials. See special instructions for transfer students.

Step 4: If possible, schedule a campus visit and interview with one of our Admissions staff.

It’s not required, but it gives us an opportunity to know you beyond your application—and may influence our acceptance decisions. You’ll also have the chance to learn more about Rhodes and get one-on-one answers to your questions.
