Hi! I'm thinking about applying to Ole Miss, but I'm a little worried about my GPA. Does anyone know the minimum GPA required for admission to Ole Miss? Is it the same for in-state and out-of-state applicants?
Hello! The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) does not have a strict minimum GPA requirement for undergraduate admissions. However, it's important to note that the average GPA of admitted students is around a 3.6. This average is not a set requirement, so applicants with GPAs lower than 3.6 can still be admitted if they meet other qualifications. Ole Miss uses a holistic approach to review applications, which means they consider many factors such as your ACT/SAT scores, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and personal qualities in addition to your GPA.
As for in-state and out-of-state applicants, there is no differentiation for GPA requirements between these two groups. Keep in mind, though, competition can be tougher for out-of-state applicants since institutions like Ole Miss tend to favor in-state students.
So, while there isn't a specific minimum GPA, it's still essential to present a competitive and well-rounded application to increase your chances of being admitted. Good luck!
