The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) acceptance rate for 2025 is approximately 98%, making it a very accessible school. While official 2025 data is still emerging, recent reports and admission statistics suggest a very high acceptance rate, with some sources listing it as 97.8% or 98%. This high acceptance rate means the university admits most applicants who meet the minimum requirements.

So Ole Miss is essentially a community college that fields varsity sports in the Southeastern Conference. Be careful if you are on the roads this weekend in the Atlanta metro area and Northeast Georgia. There will be an unusually high influx of really stupid people driving in this weekend.

Take it up with the State of Mississippi. They set the admission requirements (very low) for all public universities as it pertains to in-state applicants.

Or, as Lane Kiffin refers to it, a target-rich environment for young, dumb blondes.

I'm pretty sure a dog with thumbs could drive better than most of the people that drive this everyday.

A dog with thumbs has a high IQ than the average Ole Miss grad.

College is mostly a scam, so I don't understand these flexes.

Very few professions really require a degree. Most of the degrees are just dumb people paying for a piece of paper.

And yet Ole Miss shares the lead of most Rhodes Scholars in the SEC with Vanderbilt and Georgia at 27. Does that mean that the University actually educates its students when they get there, rather than worry about where they began? Talk about bang for your buck…

Universities in Mississippi don't set admission standards - that's set by the state itself.

My business partner did one semester at A&M and he jokes all the time that it was the biggest waste of time of his life

In thirty years of accounting (public and private) I have yet to run across a University of Georgia accountant. Ole Miss has a top 5 public school accounting programs… Georgia???

For the most part I agree with you. However I believe for your first few jobs out of college a degree from a prestigious institute can make a big difference and the delta between a weaker academic university and a top 20 university matters. Ask anyone in TA they look at those factors for early hiring

Its outside the university control.

Courts dictated long ago that all public universities in Mississippi must have the same admittance standards, the standards used by the HBCUs in state.

However, it has been a real positive as rich kids from Dallas and Atlanta who can't get into UT/UGA but want a fun college experience flock to Ole Miss by the thousands.

They will then return to daddy's company or law firm and funnel donations to Ole Miss for decades into the future.

Keep sending those hot dumb blondes and the lazy rich guys party hard sons. They will eventually be in charge of daddy's inheritance.

Less so at big public schools. Most of the Engineering grads come from there and also most successful sales and business entrepreneurs because big public schools create more socialization and less coddling. Certainly you can go to a big public and get a worthless degree you don't use, no doubt there. That said the bigger problem is the small mid Liberal Arts schools that coddle kids, charge them a fortune, and get them a degree that has no real value.
