Apply to Rhodes

Finding the Right Fit 

The college application allows you to show the Admission committee that you are excited and ready to become an essential part of the Rhodes classroom and community. We use a holistic approach to evaluate every facet of your application to get a better sense of the whole you. When examined together, your transcript, extracurricular activities, recommendations, personal statement, and demonstrated interest can paint a bigger picture of your ability to contribute to Rhodes as a classmate, roommate, teammate, and community member.

We recommend that applicants be active throughout their college search and personally engaged with the college. We want to get to know you and to help you get to know Rhodes! Come for a campus visit, meet your Admission counselor when they visit your school, or connect with us through an interview. 

Testing Information for Applicants: Rhodes does not require a standardized test score to be considered for admission. Applicants can let us know about their intention to include a test score on the Common Application. Read more about this policy at Test Optional FAQs.
