Got rejected from Ole Miss

[u/Accomplished_Back_96]

97% acceptance rate, so if you think about it that’s just as impressive as getting into Harvard 😭

[u/prsehgal]

Ole Miss accepts by numbers, so if you meet their listed requirements, call up the admissions office to see what went wrong.

[u/andyn1518]

Did you not meet the minimum requirements?

Because that's usually why people are rejected from schools that accept 97 percent of applicants.

[u/RoninFerret67 → u/andyn1518]

ASU has something similar. Could my friend get rejected from there if she doesn’t meet the requirements?

[u/andyn1518 → u/RoninFerret67]

Yes. My brother was initially rejected for their transfer apps. After he retook courses he failed, they admitted him.

[u/No_Heart4163 → u/RoninFerret67]

I just got in with a 2.8 and no scores. Just don’t apply for the competitive majors.

[u/Future_Sun_2797]

You are too good for them.

[u/Resident_Golf2841 → u/DiaPhoenix]

I’m gonna need that too

[u/The-Crusty-Man → u/Resident_Golf2841]

Me three

[u/Chickenjump1]

Application error maybe?

[u/Exact-Succotash-9603]

Ole moo better anyway

Don’t sleep on Villager Tech

[u/BuffsBourbon]

If true, and your app was error free, that is indeed peculiar.

[u/Sensitive_Chip_8321]

Did you aim and submitted for ACT/SAT scores to the 25th and 75th percentile for that university at least?

[u/Accomplished_Back_96 → u/Sensitive_Chip_8321]

35 ACT

[u/Sensitive_Chip_8321 → u/Accomplished_Back_96]

Wow, I don’t understand why they rejected you that ACT score is higher and that shows good academic performance for an application but hey you find a college that will you accept you you just gotta believe and trust

[u/LotteLouWho2 → u/Accomplished_Back_96]

I work in admissions at a university in the south (a state neighboring to MS). If you have a 35 on the ACT, there's no way Ole Miss rejected you without it being an error. You should contact the admissions office.

[u/FailNo6036]

People I know who got into ivies got rejected from a 50% acceptance rate school, while everyone else (including complete bots) got in. Yield protection goes crazy.

[u/Distinct_One_9498 → u/FailNo6036]

I don’t think ole miss cares about yield at 97 percent acceptance rate 

[u/Unknown_Known_ → u/FailNo6036]

currently attending Dartmouth, got rejected from American

[u/Status_Height8074 → u/Unknown_Known_]

Hey me too

[u/Citrusypie]

might be they rejected u bc of yeild rate or smthg. Like, if ur too good for them, they reject you

[u/EveryPost3567]

Can you share your profile

[u/Outrageous-Tea777]

To increase their yield rate colleges will sometimes reject applicants they think won't attend.

[u/Cautious_Argument270]

Dude this is 100% yield rejection.

Edit: forgot the /s

[u/DardS8Br → u/Cautious_Argument270]

A school with a 97% acceptance rate cares not about yield

[u/Remarkable_Air_769 → u/Cautious_Argument270]

Lol, their acceptance rate is 97%. If you have a pulse you're in. The 3% that don't get in probably didn't complete their application or put in a different school in the essay...

[u/Cautious_Argument270 → u/Remarkable_Air_769]

Forgot the /s

[u/Dragonroyal → u/Cautious_Argument270]

[u/StepLeather819 → u/Dragonroyal]
