Editor's notes

• Get your application in by Dec. 1. That's the scholarship priority date for Rhodes's top merit awards, and it applies whichever plan you choose.
• Early decision carries a $3,000 yearly grant on top of merit aid. If Rhodes is your first choice, ED II on Jan. 15 lets you add senior grades and still apply binding.
