Since no one else is answering your question I will, and the answer is “I don’t know.”

The average ACT at Ole Miss is now 24. More than half the freshman class is from out of state, and they tend to have better qualifications than the in-state students. So my guess is your ACT is a little below average for an out-of-state student. Ole Miss does not superscore the ACT. You might try taking it again to see if you could make a 26 or 27, because as you stand right now it’s very iffy. But it doesn’t hurt to apply.
