University of Mississippi SAT Scores?

Hi guys! I'm interested in applying to the University of Mississippi, and I wanted to find out what kind of SAT scores they usually accept. Does anyone have any information on that? Much appreciated, thank you!

Hi there! To give you an idea of the typical SAT scores for accepted students at the University of Mississippi (also known as Ole Miss), here's a rough breakdown of the middle 50% range for the most recent admissions data I could find:

- Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW): 510-610

- Math: 510-600

- Total: 1030-1200

Keep in mind that these numbers represent the 25th to 75th percentile of scores, meaning that 50% of accepted students had SAT scores within this range. However, 25% of accepted students had scores below these ranges, and another 25% had scores that were higher. Ole Miss has a relatively high acceptance rate (around 88%), so while having a competitive SAT score is helpful, it's not the only factor they will consider.

Additionally, the University of Mississippi looks at your high school GPA, the rigor of your course load, and other factors such as extracurricular activities. So, even if your SAT score isn't as high, you may still have a strong application based on your overall achievements and involvement.

It's essential to give yourself the best possible shot by preparing well for the standardized tests, and if you feel your SAT score can be improved, consider retaking the test or trying the ACT, as Ole Miss accepts both for admissions purposes. Lastly, review the other application requirements and ensure you submit a strong application that showcases your strengths and potential to thrive at Ole Miss. Good luck!
