Hi everyone, I'm a junior considering applying to University of Mississippi. Does anyone know what the GPA requirements are or what the average admitted student's GPA is? Thanks!
Hello! The University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss, is a bit flexible when it comes to GPA because they review applications holistically. That said, it's generally understood that a competitive GPA for admission is around 3.6 on a 4.0 scale. However, keep in mind that just meeting this average does not guarantee admission, as they take several other factors into account such as course rigor, extracurricular activities, and test scores (if you are submitting them), among others.
So even if your GPA is slightly below this average, but you have a strong profile otherwise, don't be discouraged from applying. The admissions office is looking at the whole picture, not just GPA. You should ensure your application clearly demonstrates your strengths, dedication, and readiness for college coursework.
Lastly, remember that every year's applicant pool is different, so these numbers can fluctify a bit. Good luck with your college apps!
