<p>ElizKel, I have no idea. Unfortunately you’ll have to wait for your letter.</p>

<p>sec4life, you can just leave that blank and enter your name.</p>

<p>Again, I don’t know how accurate the phonebook is at the moment. They could be still in the process of adding names</p>

122

<p>A friend’s son who lives in SC got his letter of acceptance today (Engineering) and his name is not in the phone book, so they must still be adding names.</p>

123

<p>Any opinions about the bridge program? Still waiting for a letter.
Got into USC today but still really wanting to go to Clemson.
So any suggestions would be great!</p>

<p>If you really want to go to Clemson, the Bridge program is the way to go. You take classes at a local community college (Tri-County) and after a year if you have a 2.5 GPA you automatically transfer into Clemson. The thing that sucks is that you live at Highpointe which is a couple of miles off campus so you really aren’t going to be on campus any if at all. You will have access to campus resources such as the recreation center or career center or library etc… if you need it though (have to pay a fee for football/basketball tickets). However, you will be at Clemson sophomore year and all you have to do is get a 2.5 GPA at a community college (which shouldn’t be hard and frankly if you can’t do that, you shouldn’t be at Clemson anyways) compared to having to get a 3.0+ GPA somewhere else to hopefully transfer into Clemson. Also, you can get your general education classes out of the way</p>

<p>Here’s a website explaining everything (and a youtube video about the program): [2012-13</a> Bridge to Clemson Program : Clemson University](<a href=“http://www.clemson.edu/admissions/bridge/index.html]2012-13”>2023-2024 Bridge to Clemson Program | Clemson University, South Carolina)</p>

<p>Let me know if you have any questions!!</p>

<p>dthornton77, I have spoken to several parents of kids who are or have attended the bridge program and they raved about it. My son was admitted to Clemson today but he would have happily done the bridge. You should check it out and speak to some kids who go there before deciding on USC if that is your other option. Good luck.</p>

126

<p>I like the idea of bridge, and its a good way to save money. But I still might have a chance of getting in Clemson automatically so Im just waiting.
Thank you for all your help!</p>

<p>Big package “You are Tiger Bound” arrived here today in FL. Good follow up to a rejection at U of Florida on Friday that was a surprise.
Still not in the CU Phonebook - don’t go off of that yet. I am sure it takes them quite some time to get all of them entered.</p>

128

<p>Congrats,still waiting</p>

129

<p>Just received the small envelope today (Ohio). Waitlisted…Would anyone know how successful the appeals process is?</p>

130

<p>Nothing in the mail today - CT.</p>

131

<p>voice45805, here is information on the appeals process for undergraduate admissions: [UNDERGRADUATE</a> ADMISSIONS](<a href=“http://virtual.clemson.edu/groups/tcel/Appeal.htm]UNDERGRADUATE”>http://virtual.clemson.edu/groups/tcel/Appeal.htm)</p>

<p>Edit: Just read that you cannot appeal if you are waitlisted. You’ll just have to wait.</p>

<p>Daughter was accepted today. Quick question, there was no reference to any merit scholarship in the acceptance letter, does that mean she will not be receiving anything or does scholarship info come in a separate correspondence? Thanks.</p>

133

<p>It probably means that she won’t get any initial scholarship money. She may get some money later down the road in the case that some people who got scholarships don’t end up coming to Clemson.</p>

<p>What are her stats like? Here are the requirements for some of the freshman merit scholarships: <a href=“Office of Student Financial Aid | Clemson University”>Office of Student Financial Aid | Clemson University;
Says on there that about 15% of accepted students are offered scholarships.</p>

134

<p>Nothing today in SC, all of my friends have either gotten in or told to try bridge.
Still playing the waiting game.</p>

<p>

I would interpret the “15%” referred to in this doc as referring to the restricted scholarships.</p>

<p>From the doc:</p>

<p>

It’s a little ambiguous, though.</p>

136

<p>Stats:
OSS
ACT 28 Composite
SAT CR 600, M 650, W 640
GPA 3.98 on 4.00 scale
SAT II 620 on US History and 620 on Math</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

137

<p>I’m just going to go ahead and assume that people who received merit scholarships are also part of the 15% who receive restricted scholarships I guess? (because most merit scholarships don’t cover the full cost of tuition).</p>

<p>RhodyRams, I’m not sure why. Maybe her class rank was low? Again, I don’t work for admissions or financial aid so I may not have all the answers.</p>

138

<p>My daughter got her acceptance letter today :slight_smile: and her name is not in the phone book yet … so don’t worry if your name is not there. We are in the Low Country of South Carolina…and not everyone here has gotten a letter saying yes, no, or maybe.</p>

139

<p>waitlisted. strangely enough I got into South Carolina on the same day! weirrdd. does anyone know what percent of waitlisted applicants are accepted? i had a 3.52 and a 1320 (1950 total)</p>

140

<p>sec4life, for the 2010-2011 admissions cycle, 1,385 students were placed on the wait list, 718 accepted a spot on the wait list and 196 students were accepted.</p>

<p>You can get info from other years here: <a href=“http://www.clemson.edu/oirweb1/fb/factbook/PastCDS.html[/url]”>http://www.clemson.edu/oirweb1/fb/factbook/PastCDS.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
