<p>I applied in November. I did not visit the campus and I applied for a poli sci major. I’ll accept my wait list spot. It isn’t the end of the world to me that I didn’t get in but oh well.</p>
<p>Hello, my son was accepted to the Bridge program for Clemson as well as two of his friends. His two friends are going to go through the appeals process for admission to Clemson… One is changing his major on the appeal application and the other is keeping his major the same… my question is what are their chances like how many do they usually get and what this acceptance rate for an appeal to Clemson Admission… If it is even worth the try I would hate to let him go through all of that if their is not even a chance any ideas or comments would be much appreciated Thank You</p>
<p>I don’t think they even keep stats on appeals (I looked everywhere) so I have no idea…sorry I can’t find that info for you.</p>
<p>thank you, I see you have been very helpful to people…I know you were straight admission to Clemson and not a Bridge student … My son is concerned with the academic level he would be taught at tctc compared to Clemson and was accepted to Usc but chose Clemson because you know its Clemson and also he is a lover of Science so have you heard of any complaints or positives about tctc I know you are going to find not so helpful teacher every where you go but is it a hard adjustment for the student to transfer over and as far as housing goes at Clemson what are the best options for dorms for a girl he has a friend that I have been trying to help with college stuff because her parents can not …are you allowed to go and take a peep in each housing develope before you make your decision</p>
<p>You aren’t allowed to take a look in each housing option before you make your decision but there are descriptions online at the Clemson housing website with pictures and some with a 360 degree look at the room: [url=<a href=“http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/housing/living-options/residence-halls/index.html]Residence”>http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/housing/living-options/residence-halls/index.html]Residence</a> Halls : Clemson University<a href=“They%20do%20show%20you%20a%20room%20in%20one%20of%20the%20High%20Rises%20during%20a%20campus%20tour”>/url</a>.</p>
<p>Personally (just my opinion), the best housing choices for a girl are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Clemson House</li>
<li>Lever or Manning</li>
<li>Young</li>
</ol>
<p>You can make an argument for putting Young over Lever/Manning because it’s location is so much better on campus but more people live in the High Rises (Byrnes/Lever/Manning). Again, read the descriptions and figure out what you want. </p>
<p>As for the bridge program, I’ll message you someone’s email and you can email her with your questions since I wasn’t a bridge student.</p>
<p>thanks a bunch … I will be needing all the info I can get my sons friend that I helping parents have a language barrier problem so I have to help with her admissions and college stuff plus my sons … I do not mind doing this just feel like I have twins lol and a little overwhelmed just would like to do a good job for both … I was reading older posts and someone said that they were put on the waiting list do you know the difference between getting put on the waiting list and being placed in the bridge program</p>
<p>I’d imagine that being on the bridge program is better than being on the waiting list. With the bridge program at least you are offered a chance to get into Clemson after 1 year. With the waiting list, you don’t even know if you’ll be offered anything from Clemson.</p>
<p>Accepted! No letter yet but my name is in the phonebook. OOS from NJ transferring from a university in Scotland. I will most likely be going to Clemson :)</p>
<p>My son was accepted in February. He applied by Dec 1. and is OOS. I expected that he would receive a merit award since he met the criteria posted on the website. However, I wasn’t concerned that it was not included with his admission to Clemson since separate scholarship notification came for our in-state school. However, he hasn’t yet received any additional financial information from Clemson: scholarship or other award. Were scholarships sent with admission notifications? Have you received your financial aid notification?</p>
<p>Call the school. I did. They gave us merit. Son’s school does not have class rank, they took another look. A few days later we got award. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks njoutofva, I’ll do that! I’m glad to know it worked for you. My son’s school also does not rank, but it is a competitive school. I hope Clemson will see it that way,too.</p>
<p>Hey Pierre, What are your housing recs for a guy? I see you listed some for a girl a few posts back. I don’t think I’m planning on going greek, if that makes a difference.</p>
<p>well Clemson House is obviously 1st</p>
<p>After that, either Byrnes or Cope/Geer. Really depends whether you want to live in the High Rises ([Bryan</a> Mall : Clemson University](<a href=“http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/housing/living-options/residence-halls/bryan-mall.html]Bryan”>http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/housing/living-options/residence-halls/bryan-mall.html)) or Shoeboxes ([The</a> Shoeboxes : Clemson University](<a href=“http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/housing/living-options/residence-halls/shoeboxes.html]The”>http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/housing/living-options/residence-halls/shoeboxes.html)). Both are on different sides of campus. The high rises have more freshman living in them, the Shoeboxes are in a great location not far from classes as well as the fitness center and athletic facilities/dining halls open on weekends (can be a trek to workout or eat on weekends if you live in High Rises since the dining hall by the High Rises closes). Some of the tradeoffs to consider.</p>
<p>Last would be Johnstone Annex & Main. Honestly these dorms should’ve been torn down a long time ago. If you can help it, don’t list it as an option but if you must, I would say Johnstone Annex is definitely nicer than Johnstone Main (don’t have paper thin walls haha). I used to say Johnstone was a nice option because it was co-ed and it was a fun dorm to live in but now that it’s an all-male dorm, some of that has changed.</p>
