[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like too many kids are now applying to the same big universities, mostly in warmer weather states. The students from these schools, (and there are tons!) post about all the fun they have on social media. The smaller schools don’t have as much free advertisement, so fewer kids apply. Then, it is just a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Also, could it be that some popular-queen bee type girls applied to Clemson a few years ago, and that made it a “hot” school?  I did read something about that during last year’s admission drama. [/quote]

made up theories. [/quote]

Every theory was made up by someone. This one seems reasonable and well thought out.[/quote]

It’s garbage.

College admissions is more competitive. An academically strong group of kids were just admitted to Clemson. Some may do so as a real possible school and some
May as a safety.  [/quote]

There are a lot of reasons kids are increasingly applying to southern schools, including Clemson.  Saying it is because of queen bees on tik tok does not take into account what has been going on the past 4-5 years. The schools do have better weather but also tend to offer better merit/financial aid. They have a  lot of school spirit. They are not nearly as a political as some of these northeastern schools.  Not every student wants to be a social just warrior.  There are some that rather go to a tailgate and football game as opposed to exchanging insults and disparagements at a student demonstration.

It’s an amazing experience. You get a good education while you can experience world class athletics and lots of school spirit and hype. Nice weather, top facilities, famous athletes and celebrity kids on campus (Mark Wahlberg’s daughter is a freshman at Clemson, Suni Lee at Auburn, Arch Manning at UT-Austin, LSU, UF, and UK have a number of Olympic athletes on campus, etc). 
World famous CEOs, such as Tim Cook (Auburn/Apple) and Chris Malachowsky (UF/Nvidia) attend home football games and donate many millions of dollars to their respective alma maters to support academic programs, Cook (Engineering) and Malachowsky (AI Research)…[/quote]
