Even if a high school student meets the minimum GPA necessary for admission, it does not mean the university is required to admit her/him. Many private universities, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford, do not have minimum GPA requirements. Yet no one says that someone with a 1.0 high school GPA would/should be admitted to Harvard. Other factors are taken into consideration. I am sure the same is true with Ole Miss.
