is Ole Miss someplace where sophs or juniors are free or is it someplace where if you don't rush as a freshman it really hurts your odds? Because as much as having a grade exception for learning disabilities seems very compassionate, if a PNM can rush with success as a soph, it's probably a lot better for anyone without a 2.5 out of high school to wait a year and see how it goes.

There ARE exceptions. But, it definitely hurts your chances of getting a bid. I think OleMissGlitter can be more specific on current policies. But, if I recall, there were upperclassmen additions allowed. And, I could be wrong, but I think that was only up to total. Considering the groups at or above total, that doesn't leave much room for upperclassmen. If you are a group, do you really want to take the person who can pay dues for 2 years or someone who'll pay all 4 years?
But, like others have said, if a girl can't keep her shit together in high school well enough to get a gpa of 2.5, she's gonna have a hell of a time in college if she adds extra-currics. And, you'd want to have some major legacies going on if you have that kind of gpa. Groups still have their academic gpa averages to worry about. If you take someone who is borderline, and they cannot maintain the gpa of that specific group, you end up with someone who gets kicked out/suspended/whatever for grades.
