Hi everyone! I do not live in Mississippi but I've been really intrigued by Ole Miss and I'm thinking about applying. I was wondering if there's a significant difference in the acceptance rates for out-of-state vs in-state applicants? If anyone has any insight on this, please let me know!
The University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss, is not like some public universities that strategically limit the number of out-of-state students for funding purposes. This makes it more accessible for out-of-state applicants. However, specific acceptance rate data for in-state vs out-of-state students isn't publicly available.
Based on the latest data, the total acceptance rate at Ole Miss is around 97%, but it's important to remember that acceptance rates can fluctuate year to year based on the applicant pool. The best way to increase your chances of acceptance is to ensure that your GPA and test scores are within or above the middle 50% of accepted students at Ole Miss, and to highlight your extracurricular activities and passions in your application. Spend some time on your essays to make them unique and personal so that they make your application stand out. Good luck with your application!
