But can we afford it?

I’m a freshman student at Rhodes and I can tell you that Rhodes is very generous with Moderate amounts of Merit Based Aid. Most of my friends are here with at least 20,000 a year in various forms of aid. However, I have not yet found a single person with over 35,000 a year. I was NMC student, 12 in my class, accepted to UVA, UNC, WashUStLouis, Davidson, had 300 hours of Community Service, and had a 2200 on my SATs with a 4.85 GPA and recieved 20,000 a year. But I was late in showing interest and the money had dried up. However, I also had a friend who applied ED, and he hardly got any money because the admissions department knew he would attend no matter how much aid he got. So you might want to keep that in mind.

I’m sorry if this is confusing. I just saw this before going to sleep and thought I’d give y’all my thoughts. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
