<p>you’d know if you had the possibility of getting a massive full ride by now. clemson’s national scholars program has already notified their finalists. as for oos waivers, it all depends but i’m sure they will offer more as some people decline their offers.</p>
<p>Anyone who received an OOS waiver, willing to share their stats?</p>
<p>i received an OOS waiver
1400/2120 SAT
3.85 UW, 5.15 W
I’m an IB Diploma Candidate and will have taken 5 AP’s and 10 IB’s by the end of this year</p>
<p>Very good extracurriculars and community service</p>
<p>Hope this helped!</p>
<p>How common is it to get the OOS waiver + additional scholarship money? We’re from GA where HOPE Scholarship recipients get their tuition cost covered, so an OOS waiver would still be well above the in-state cost of Ga Tech or UGA.</p>
<p>Usually, recipients of academic recruiting scholarships have an SAT score of at least 1370 (ACT 31) and rank in the top 10 percent of their senior class.</p>
<p>Is an academic recruiting scholarship the OOS waiver, the grant for a certain amount of money, or is it both together? I’m wondering if all OOS waivers come with an additional grant, if half or so do, or if only a small percentage do?</p>
<p>the OOS waiver is a type of academic recruiting scholarship. I have no idea what the exact percentages are.</p>
<p>so. i got a letter in the mail today awarding me a $12k scholarship (3k per year), and im just wondering…does that mean i get an oos waiver or not? it says online “Out-of-state students who qualify for an academic recruiting scholarship might be offered a tuition waiver that covers part or all of the out-of-state tuition differential.” but it doesnt say who gets it or how they know if they got it…if it doesnt say anything in the first letter i got about a tuition reduction/waiver, does that mean i didnt get it?</p>
<p>no you didn’t get the OOS waiver, you just got a scholarship.</p>
<p>Ok - I am still confused… my daughter also got that letter today. It says “In the spring you may also be considered for additional recruiting scholarships which if offered, would replace this preliminary commitment” Can someone explain this statement? </p>
<p>My other question is - Does anyone know when all of the letters/money has been given out? Just trying to decide when it is time to “move on” with her other choices.</p>
<p>well I think they’re just trying to figure out how much money they have left for scholarships and if they have any left, they may give you more money? I’m not sure exactly.</p>
<p>All academic recruiting scholarships will be given out by March 15th (these are the major ones). After that, you may receive a smaller scholarship like you did through the deadline of May 1st to commit.</p>
<p>We still haven’t got anything from Clemson. We know he was accepted because we got letter from housing congratulating my S and making sure that he put down the deposit. Still we haven’t got the official letter neither know if he getting a scholarship or not.
I called Admissions last week and they say that they would resend the letter or envelop ( don’t know really what’s he is supposed to get). It has been a week and still haven’t got it.</p>
<p>Still no letter from Clemson although we have called and they said he was accepted. Twice we have called and they said they will send the letter and still nothing in the email. At the same time S is getting letter to deposit for housing and all the other stuff. Seems very disorganized…</p>
<p>sorry to hear about that lapagan. I agree with you that the admissions office at times appears to be disorganized and frustrating to deal with. I can assure you that the majority of other offices and people at Clemson won’t even come close to them and are very helpful!</p>
<p>PS: the financial aid office is also difficult to deal with</p>
<p>This pretty much has erased Clemson form my son list…you got the “Government don’t give a darn” attitude at times…It is sad because the experience with the Eng. Dept and Honors was great.</p>
<p>Although frustrating, I wouldn’t let the administrative depts of the school totally dominate the decision. With 4 college students (2 state, 2 private), I have had A LOT of dealings with admissions, financial aid, etc. The larger the school the more challenging the communication, info transfer, etc., however it is typically a once a year process and I muddle through (Clemson is not the worst!) Like pierre0913 indicated, most of the departments at Clemson have been extremely easy to work with and really put the interests of the students first (my son has had numerous non-standard circumstances that have been handled in a professional and quality manner.) I think you would continue to be pleased with the Engineering and Honors Depts! Good luck.</p>
