What ACT score does it take to qualify at OM and MSU?

Curious about this. Singleton says he thinks he is in good shape to qualify because he made a "16 or a 17" on the ACT. How do you not know which one? I'm guessing that means he actually made a 15. I thought you had to make an 18 to be eligible at both schools inour State. Anybody know for sure?

I thought that if you had a diagnosed learning disability, you could get into either with a 15-16.

I know when I was at school, most of the athletes were diagnosed with learning disabilities because it allowed them to have special advisers, schedule for class early, and a few more benefits that I cannot remember.

Most high school athletes that are going to have trouble making the right score on the ACT usually have a learning disability anyway or if they don't they will get diagnosed with one because it allows them to take the ACT un-timed.

but I'm guessing you can get in with a 16 and 3.0 gpa. As far as Singleton, he'll get into OM with a 16 or 17 and 2.0 I'm sure

It also isn't about the score on one test. I believe they can take thier top scores from each section and the composite of that score is what they use. So if he raised one section enough to add to previous scores he could be ok.

Can get you in 'conditionally'. But I believe the NCAA requires more than the lowest academic qualifications the Ayers case has left us with. Regardless it's pretty low, lowest in the SEC I believe, both us and Ole Miss.

(but I almost want to say there isn't one at any state school? that can't be right) even though a stunningly high GPA and mid-teens ACT would seem to be an indictment of one's high school.
Just saw where you said "qualify" and not "enroll" which would imply some sort of SEC/NCAA clearance. So nevermind.
