I work at Rhodes (I’m an institutional researcher) and I’m a member of the class of 2000. I loved it as a student and love it now. Can’t say enough good things about it.

Don’t let the sticker price scare you off immediately; we awarded over $20 million in institutional grant aid last year, and while I don’t have the numbers handy yet, it’s probably more this year.

About 16% of the entering class from last year had a GPA lower than yours, so it’s not unthinkable by any stretch to imagine you’d be admitted. It would of course depend on things like your class rank, the quality of your high school, your test scores, your essay, etc. The best detail on acceptee stats is at [Rhodes College | Common Data Set](http://www.rhodes.edu/1328.asp) - look at the Common Data Set, section C.

Coach Shankman can connect you with an admissions counselor if you want to talk about your personal situation. If you PM me your contact info, I can get a counselor in touch with you as well.
