That is the case Bob but not to leave wrong impression and to be precise…my kid had decided to attend Rhodes when she received a Cambridge Scholarship (two down from the Bellingrath). The acceptance to the other “finalist” school and the Bellingrath came later. She had chosen Rhodes over more affordable excellent schools (schools where she received larger awards) prior to the last minute whirlwind of action.

When she received the acceptance to the other finalist, that complcated matters, and when she received the Bellingrath, it changed again. It was a wild but enjoyable ride. Takeaway point: The money was very important to her decision, but without her great impression of the school (formed over 4 visits and a scholarship weekend), it wouldn’t have been enough.

IMO, it’s a really good school and deserves consideration.
