<p>please go easy on me, I know that my GPA isn't exactly good.</p>

<p>100%</p>

<p>Seriously, don’t sweat admission for even a moment. Probably with good scholarship money. Go for the Honors College, which is widely regarded as one of the nation’s best.</p>

<p>No worries at all. Look at the website. I don’t have it called up in front of me, but, under State law, you are essentially automatic if you meet the combined GPA and SAT threshold, which is like a 2.5 GPA with an 800 SAT – seriously. They have a sliding scale and the website says you “will” be admitted if you meet it. I think Ole Miss would like to be more selective (there is A LOT to like about Ole Miss), but the admission standards are dictated by State law (as is the no co-ed dorms).</p>
