Well Pack, MSU might have just earned itself another student. My nephew, who’s a high school junior, had until recently shown very little aptitude in academics. Good kid, but I figured he’d end up joining the work force or the military. He recently took his ACT (with no prep) and ended up scoring a 24 composite. Not great, but I was thrilled. He told me he wanted to go to USM like me. Needless to say, I was very proud. I’ve been taking him to athletic events since he’s been able to walk, so he “knows” USM. At my urging, he took a visit to Mississippi State and fell in love with the place. Now, he’s got around a 3.0 high school GPA. I’ve encouraged him to take an ACT prep course to try and raise his score. Anybody know what the cutoff is for State to offer a scholarship? Last I heard it was around 27-28. Again, State is all he talks about these days.
