I have a child at Ole Miss. 37 members of my family have also graduated from Ole Miss. The entrance requirements are pretty straightforward. Just go to olemiss.edu. They also have a good (but fairly competitive) honors college.
Ole Miss has a beautiful campus and Oxford is neat little town. My son graduates in the spring. He has loved his time at Ole Miss! HOTTY TODDY!!!! |

Doesn't appear to be that hard to get into if you're at least an OK student. |

As an Ole Miss alum, I get pretty damn sick of listening to ignorant comments such as those in this thread. Your comments are based solely on your own prejudice and hatred and not rooted in fact. Your comments show a basic lack of intelligence - ironic! To answer the OP's question. Ole Miss is a thriving and academically challenging university. It is not as selective in its acceptance policies as other universities and perhaps this is where a lot of these "elitist for no reason" get their preconceived notions that it must be a school filled with dumb racist. Acceptance is only part of the college puzzle though.. (oooh I know- shocking concept for all of you parents that think life revolves around bragging about where your DC got accepted!). Once accepted at Ole Miss, students find a diverse, multi-cultural and academically challenging college, surrounded by a beautiful campus. When I graduated I was recruited by an investment bank in NYC. When I arrived I was one of only a handful that did not have an "ivy league" background; however, my educational background was just as good and in some cases, especially when it came to critical thinking, better than my "ivy co-workers". Quite simply it is one of the most under-rated, best educations out there. Despite misconceptions, there is little to no racial tension and over half of the undergrad student body is from out of state. I would advise your DS to take a visit to campus and do his research.

| Ole Miss is not hard to get in to. As for any school, you should look at each universities online catalog, and read it carefully. It will tell you if, for example, how many years of foreign language are "required" or "recommended", years of math, etc. Even if a university is not very competitive, they will still not admit a student who does not meet their stated admissions requirements. |

It has a 79% acceptance rate and is ranked something like 161 on the US News + World Report College rankings plus they need more guys (only have 46%) -- so no, it's not hard to get into at all. Link: http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/university-of-mississippi-2440

I would assume for OOS though it would be somewhat more difficult |

So the Ole Miss posters respond with helpful, friendly advise and this was your response? Yet you say, "keep it classy"? Priceless. |
