Some of you seem to be forgetting that Clemson is a state school. If you want to go that badly, move to Florence or Goose Creek, SC. Your odds will improve.


A lot of in-state kids with high stats got deferred as well.


Not true if they were in top 10 percent. Which defines high stat to me. Auto admit. New this year.

Clemson is very major dependent in terms of acceptance rates, stats needed, etc... For
example, business school had 8% acceptance rate for some majors. forestry, geology much higher.


First - congrats! Also, do you know how you can find what the acceptance rate is for the various majors?

I did. I swear this board is so provincial and yet elitist, posters are always making fools of themselves over these southern schools.


To be fair, when you look at Clemson's common data set from this past year, it seems that a lot of these kids with high stats should have gotten in. Also, kids are applying to far more colleges this year (even compared to last year). In the end, when final decisions are made (i.e. when the students make the final commitments), I think that a lot of kids that were deferred or waitlisted will get in.

It’s what every school does. Tulane was a 75% acceptance rate awhile back.

They know kids want warm weather, good sports they all have relied heavily on marketing and it’s working

A few kids with slightly lower stats actually got in (but who knows what the situation is - legacy, donor, athlete, geographic diversity, etc.). I read that 35% got in early action. I think many of the kids that got deferred will be very competitive against those applying regular decision. I thought that Clemson was relatively easy to get admitted to not too long ago - I wonder what happened?!


Welcome to the new reality of 2023. The upside of all this wokeness, is that what was considered as second tier schools like Clemson are now destination schools for all those Duke, Vandy and UNC "rejects."
