Hi there! I'm a student from Mississippi and I'm considering colleges in my home state for my bachelor's degree. My academic record isn't the strongest but I'm determined to get a degree. Can anyone suggest a college in MS with less strenuous requirements?
It's terrific that you're planning to continue your education at a local college in Mississippi! One potential option for you is Mississippi Valley State University in Itta Bena, MS. While many colleges require a minimum ACT score as part of their admissions criteria, Mississippi Valley State University emphasizes a holistic application process that looks beyond just your test scores or GPA.
This means they also consider other components of your application such as your high school curriculum, personal essays, and extracurricular activities. This approach allows you to demonstrate your potential and your commitment to acquiring a degree, despite having a less robust academic record.
Remember to check out the specific requirements for your intended major too! Each department might have different criteria for acceptance into their specific program. It's always a good idea to get in contact with the admissions office to ask any questions specific to your situation. I hope this helps and best of luck in your college search!
