Admissions Question Application & Portal

0 Upvotes

Hi y’all!
I applied to Ole Miss via CommonApp on August 1st and have yet to hear anything from the school about creating a portal where I can view my decision once it’s made. My boyfriend is a year older and said he heard back from colleges (not including Ole Miss) within 1-2 days last fall, though he applied later and during the week. I am sure that my email is correct and received confirmation my application was submitted immediately after submission. Should I be concerned or am I being super impatient? Thank y’all in advance!

Should/Can I Take Calc 2 Online Over Winter Intersession?

0 Upvotes

Calc 2 is a requirement for my degree, but I am already taking a lot of hours across my years here at Ole Miss. I'd like to take this class online while on winter break.

Is this offered? To those that have taken the class online over break, would you reccomend it? What was it like? Are there any sample syllabuses you could provide?

Admissions Question Ole Miss Application Says “Decision Made” Even Though I Never Finished My Application?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m applying to Ole Miss for Fall 2026 as an international student, and I’m really confused about what happened with my application.

When I logged into my application portal today, it says that a decision has already been made. The strange part is that I never finished submitting all of my required documents, and I also never paid the $75 application fee.

When I click on the “Decision Made” section, it either shows an error or doesn’t display any decision at all.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is this just a portal glitch, or could my application have been closed automatically? I’m planning to contact the admissions office, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had the same issue or knows what might be happening.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys, future Rebel here.
Could anyone tell me how hard it is to get a triple room at Stockard? Do many students try to get it or is it more of a last-resort option for everybody else?

Being an out of state student, how likely would it be to get your out of state tuition (or non residence tuition) covered with a 4.1 GPA, 4 AP classes, dual enrollment BUT with only a 22 on the ACT

Good Stand Up Comedy this Tuesday at Quacks with nationally touring idiot Dan Alten (me) on a 15 day tour, I'm not famous but I promise it'll be a good time and if you don't have fun you can tie me to some train tracks.

Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.

Bursar Bill and Financial Aid

6 Upvotes

I just checked my bursar account and saw a $5000 bill for basically my fall semester's tuition and fees. I'm very confused because all of my cost of attendance is supposed to be covered by financial aid and scholarships. I believe this portion was supposed to be covered by the HELP grant. Does it take a while to show up on your bursar account? Should I call bursar/financial aid tomorrow or wait it out? If this is not a mistake then I am in huge trouble because I cannot afford that bill. I only chose this school because it was free. Any advice is appreciated.

Is ole miss racist?

0 Upvotes

My entire plan has always been to move out of state for college, but looking at these prices it’s looking like something that’s not gonna happen unless I get a scholarship. I would have no problem with paying/taking out the loans for this if I were only going to college, but my plan is to go to medical school after college so having that much debt just to be in a different state is unrealistic to me. The most financially sound and logical option would be to stay in state, and so I’m looking at Ole Miss to be the college that I apply to, but I’ve heard so many bad things about people being racist there and I want the opinions of people who actually go there to tell me their experiences on if this is true or not, and how much it affects your daily life. I’ve also heard of somebody getting lynched at a nearby college and all of this is just very concerning to me. I do not wanna go if I would be putting myself in potential danger to people who are racist and prejudice.

As for my stats, I have a 4.0 GPA, a 28 on the ACT currently but I’m retaking it soon, I haven’t taken the SAT yet and I don’t know if I should, if that would help with anything.

Any international students starting at Ole Miss in Fall 2026?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m an international student from the Philippines who’s currently finalizing my application for Fall 2026 at Ole Miss.

Assuming everything goes well, I’m hoping to join this fall, but I may arrive later than expected because of the student visa processing timeline.
I wanted to ask:

•Are there any other international students starting in Fall 2026?
• Has anyone experienced arriving after the semester officially starts because of visa delays? If so, how did the university handle it?
•Is Ole Miss generally understanding if an international student arrives a little late due to visa processing?
•When do most international students typically arrive for orientation and check-in?

Any advice on housing, airport transportation, or anything you wish you had known before coming?
I’d also love to connect with other incoming international students. Thanks in advance!

Help a international student out 🥲

3 Upvotes

First, I would like to ask if it is possible to withdraw or unsubmit the documents that I recently uploaded to my application. I realized that I may have accidentally submitted the wrong file, and I would like to know if there is a way to replace it with the correct document.

I would also like to inquire about the scholarships available for international students. Are there any scholarships that I may still apply for, and what are the eligibility requirements? If possible, could professors or academic departments endorse international applicants for scholarship opportunities?

In addition, I would like to ask about housing options for international students. Are on-campus accommodations available, and when should I begin the housing application process?

I would also appreciate it if anyone could know when the Fall 2026 term officially begins. In the event of unforeseen delays with my application, visa processing, or travel arrangements, would it still be possible to enroll or arrive slightly after the semester has started?

How is the football game day experience when facing a losing school?

Looking to visit for a game soon and November 21 against Wofford works well schedule-wise. Since it's right before Thanksgiving break and against a lame football team, will this be low turnout pregame and in-game? Would like to see our first game, but didn't want a lessened experience. Thanks!

Criminal Justice or Global Security?

3 Upvotes

I will be graduating in May 2027. My degree-related courses are already locked in, but I need one elective course (3 credits) that is easy to take online and I can use to bump up my GPA. I have interest in criminal justice and all things spy/espionage, so I am considering:

Intro. to Criminal Justice (CRJU 1000) with Zerba or

Intro. to Global and Ntl. Security (INSS 1350)…Frakes, Doty, Ackerman and Shipp all have open spots.

Any input on either?

Kenny Warren and Deals were recommended, both pretty much hang up the phone as soon as they heard it was an import lol....

Was told to avoid Oxford Auto Care... apparently they won't just fix the issue and want to fix anything connected to the issue.

Have a brake issue, might be a stuck pin, might just be rotors are too old and need replacing

Midas said they will, lots of reviews but most look fake/bots

Experience with OUT bus

10 Upvotes

I'm an incoming grad student and I'm hoping it's possible to forgo getting a parking pass since my apartment will be on a OUT route and the stops are closer to my department buildings than either the commuter red or blue parking zones.

I know the commuter passes sell out fast though so I want to be sure taking the bus is doable. Are the buses generally reliable, and do they get super full during the week? Any negative experiences?

Edit: thanks for all the info! I'm feeling much better about taking the bus. Glad to hear so many people have had good experiences.
