🎓 Rhodes APS Calculator (Rhodes University)

Known for academic excellence and small classes. Use this calculator for Rhodes admissions.

⚙️ How Rhodes Calculates APS

• Uses your best 6 subjects

• Life Orientation excluded

• Raw score (max 42) – then multiplied by 10

👉 This means your final score looks like: 380 instead of 38

📊 Why Rhodes Is Different

Rhodes uses a scaled system:

• Allows finer ranking of high-achieving applicants

• Minimum APS is higher than most universities

• No extended programs for low APS

🎯 Target Scores (scaled x10)

• 400–420 → Journalism, Law, Commerce (very competitive)

• 370–399 → Most BA and BSc degrees

• 350–369 → Minimum for acceptance

• Below 350 → Unlikely to be accepted

💡 Tip

Focus on improving:

• English (critical for Humanities and Journalism)

• Mathematics (for Commerce and Science)

Rhodes has NO extended degree programs. If your APS is below 35, consider applying elsewhere first.
