<p>warriordaughter: My son plans to major in math and economics/finance. Labs really do not interest him. So, while Rhodes has an incredible bio department, in particular, we do not see him majoring in that area or looking to go pre-med. </p>
<p>He is the first to say that Rhodes is a wonderful school. Whether or not he can make it fit, well, that’s up to him (and the budget).</p>
<p>I see, momreads. Wish him luck from me! It sounds like he has done a great job with his college search.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if admits and denys were both sent out Jan. 15? DS has not heard either way.</p>
<p>AL34: All letters were sent out at the same time. You should be getting it soon</p>
<p>^ Thank you! I know he emailed his admissions counselor but thought I’d check here :)</p>
<p>We are still waiting in Chicago…</p>
<p>^ we are also in Chicago. He emailed with his admissions counselor today and she was surprised he had not yet heard, and said she would look into getting another letter sent tomorrow. Don’t know what kind of letter (yay or nay) but since you all have also not heard looks like it could be an issue with the lovely Chicagoland mail.</p>
<p>Accepted EA. Top-tier Boarding School in New England, 3.6 UW, 2270 SAT, 6 APs.</p>
<p>Envelope here and another one sent out this morning - either way guess he’ll get double the news!</p>
<p>No mail in our box at all today in Chicago! I think our mailman must have fallen in a snowdrift! AL34, have you opened the envelope?</p>
<p>I didn’t - but he did when he got home from work - accepted!</p>
<p>Very cool, AL34.</p>
<p>Has anyone received a rejection letter? Still no word either either way.</p>
<p>DSs admissions counselor was very clear results were sent out either way. I’d suggest a quick email to let her know you have not received either.</p>
<p>Finally got the big envelope today - accepted! Of course, this was right after my daughter emailed her counselor last night! The postmark on the envelope was January 15, and it just arrived today, the 27th.</p>

<p>Has anyone been notified about merit aid that did not receive an invitation to the Scholarship Symposium? Or does anyone know when merit aid letters will be mailed?</p>
<p>DSs admissions rep sent an email saying merit was sent out by mail Feb. 7. Nothing here yet.</p>
<p>Do you think there will be a letter regarding merit either way? The acceptance letter made it sound like you would only receive a letter if you were awarded a scholarship. Does that mean that if you do not receive merit aid you hear nothing? Also, regarding need-based aid, we submitted FAFSA but did not submit CSS/PROFILE. I just don’t think we will receive need based aid due to level of assets.</p>
<p>Mommio,
We just received our financial aid award notification letter today (2/10/2014).
Here is the breakdown for my D:
Presidential Scholarship = $22,500
Rhodes Grant = $3,910
TN Hope = $5,000
Federal Student Employment = $2,000
$7,500 in loans are offered.
So the total possible Rhodes/state/student employment = $33,410
We did submit the FAFSA and the CSS/Profile. Rhodes is the first college to provide the full breakdown of aid.
