Mississippi University for Women
Admission has five routes and the first is GPA alone with no test. The other routes pair a lower GPA or class rank with an ACT or SAT minimum. The sentence search engines surface about scores being required applies to applicants without a high school diploma, not to regular freshmen. MUW never uses the phrase test-optional.
Data sourced from IPEDS, College Scorecard, for the record as a whole — figures marked with a star are sourced separately, as noted at the bottom of the page. Testing policy checked against the college's own pages on Oct 18, 2026.

College Scorecard (latest.cost.net_price.public.by_income_level.*), 2024
Every school is required to publish a net price calculator. It asks about your family's finances and returns an estimate for you specifically, which is worth more than any average on this page. Your school counselor and the college's financial aid office can also help.
Scholarships and merit aid
We don't have a confirmed note on merit scholarships at this school. Check its financial aid pages rather than assuming either way.
