I defer to your expertise. I was just recalling what I (thought) I knew from researching OM and MSU when I was a junior in high school, which was about a decade ago. My memory is not pristine.

I was just messing with you - read the rest of my message.

The kids with the low ACT scores aren't making it, so its not like we have opened up a new world. Add to the fact that the Mississippi Department of Education has pushed college way harder than they should, and we have some real turds enrolled in higher ed in Mississippi.

I'll tell parents how it is. Some administrators won't - they'll coddle little miss 15 ACT like she is the brightest kid in the state, get them enrolled and shake their heads when they flunk out.

Attention parents of the OT: If your child has under the national average ACT, you might want to consider a lesser school or community college. Don't buy the "Some kids don't take standardized tests well" bull shite. Some kids aren't meant for college.

Yeah, they have a campus in the office buildings just north of Madison. Guess what? It has attracted HBCU-quality as well.

Things are going to get better in MS - especially at MSU and Ole Miss when the handcuffs of the Ayers decision come off.

Many Northshore and new orleans kids go there. Along with people from the Mississippi Gulf Coast area.
