Millsaps College Acceptance Rate?

Hey guys, I'm currently a junior and starting to do a bit more in-depth research on colleges. Does anyone know the acceptance rate for Millsaps College? How selective are they, and what kind of applicants typically get accepted? Any info would be appreciated!

Hello! Millsaps College is a private liberal arts college located in Jackson, Mississippi. As of the most recent admissions cycle, their acceptance rate is around 67%, which indicates that the college is moderately selective when it comes to admitting students. Generally, students who get accepted to Millsaps College have solid academic records, good standardized test scores (if submitted), and involvement in extracurricular activities.

To give you a better idea of the academic profile of accepted students, the middle 50% of admitted students have an ACT score range of 21-28 and an SAT score range of 1130-1350. Keep in mind, however, that these numbers are not strict cutoffs, and colleges often take a holistic approach to reviewing applications. While a good test score can certainly help, it won't get you in on its own, while a slightly lower one doesn't mean you won't get in. Also note that Millsaps is test-optional, so if you don't feel that your SAT/ACT score reflects your strengths, you don't need to submit it.

More broadly, an ideal applicant for Millsaps would have a strong academic record with coursework in core subjects (math, science, English, social studies, and foreign language), and demonstrate meaningful engagement outside the classroom through extracurricular activities and community service, to show that they'll contribute to the Millsaps community as a whole, not just in the classroom.

For more detailed information, consider reaching out to the admissions office at Millsaps, to get answers to any personal questions you have. Best of luck with your college search and future application to Millsaps College!
