I’ve read up on Croft at Ole Miss recently and find it to be a very interesting program. I know I can get into Ole Miss no problem but I would really like to get into Croft as well as the Barksdale honors college. I’ve read articles about kids who are in the international studies program through Croft and the scholarship award winners (who I presume are the top of the class) have similar academic stats to me, but have absolutely crazy extracurriculars and leadership roles. If there is anyone who knows anything about this program I would love to know more about it as well as my chances. Hotty Toddy!
