<p>I just received my Acceptance Letter in the mail today and I'm sure a number of you have received your own big orange envelope, so congratulations Tigertown Bound class of 2018! </p>
<p>This seems like the perfect place to discuss attending Clemson next year.</p>
<p>Congrats! Let me know if you have any questions about Clemson!</p>
<p>How are people getting acceptance letters already? I thought they go out February 15th??</p>
<p>if you have really really really good stats, you may hear back from Clemson earlier than February 15th. Otherwise, the large majority have to wait until February 15th.</p>
<p>For reference:
I’m instate, top 3%, 4.55 GPA, sent SAT scores of 1370/2040, and applied for pre-business in Mid-August.</p>
<p>If you guys are farther away, it may take a bit longer to get the mail. The letter was dated November 1st.</p>
<p>The “early” acceptance letters don’t come out at once, they come on a rolling basis (depending when they finish evaluating your application)</p>
<p>Daughter received her acceptance letter today along with an out of state scholarship! She attended a summer camp at Clemson before her Junior year and loved it. </p>
<p>Stats:
GPA: 3.7 UW / 4.5 W
ACT: 34
SAT: 1420 (CR + M)
Applied to Engineering ~ Sept.
Out of State: NC</p>
<p>Congrats! I just received my acceptance as well. I’m out of state (Florida), 4.5 weighted 2180 SAT for reference.</p>
<p>Just got my acceptance letter in the mail yesterday!
(i’m out of state)…
Can’t wait to be a Tiger next year!</p>
<p>(my SAT was only 1360 or 2090 so i guess you don’t have to have extremely high scores to get in early)</p>
<p>An SAT score of 1350 and top 10% class rank will usually get you in early.</p>
<p>pierre0913, what ACT would you need for early acceptance into the School of Engineering? She is OOS and is in the top 10% of her class. Thanks.</p>
<p>An ACT score of 28 is the minimum cut off score for these early acceptance scholarships. May be higher depending on the quality of applicants applying that year and how much money they have for scholarships.</p>
<p>And correction, 1250 is the SAT minimum cut off score, not 1350 like I said 2 posts above.</p>
<p>That seems a little odd, especially since that score range falls around their 50% accepted scores. </p>
<p>Also, I was offered a $1,000 Scholarship from the school, but will receive the Palmetto Fellows ($6,700 then $7,500), an additional $2,500 from Clemson because I am a Palmetto Fellow, and an additional $2,500 because my SAT score is 1400 (m+cr). </p>
<p>Clemson will be removing their additional $1,000/yr scholarship because of the others I’m getting. </p>
<p>Do you know if there is a way to speak with their Admissions or Financial Aid Office to keep that additional merit scholarship, or even attain more?</p>
<p>Well you could call them? Here’s the financial aid office contact info: [Contact</a> Us | Clemson University, South Carolina](<a href=“http://www.clemson.edu/financial-aid/contact-us.html]Contact”>Contact Student Financial Aid | Clemson University)</p>
<p>The SAT cut-off score is low but it’s usually the “Top 10%” rank that disqualifies people. My theory for the past few years is that these scholarship offers are to try and get students who would help improve their US News standings in admissions categories since average SAT/ACT score/% of students in the top 10% of their high school class are criteria in determining the US News college rankings.</p>
<p>Congrats everyone! Got my acceptance a couple weeks ago! (but just joined the forum)</p>
<p>I was offered $15,000/year merit-based

<p>DD received her acceptance letter today! Accepted into Packaging Science. So excited!!! </p>
<p>Go Tigers!!</p>
<p>Accepted today! $30,000 overall or $7,500 annually for OOS</p>
<p>Son received his acceptance letter this week for Engineering! $7,500/yr OOS merit scholorship. He retook the ACT in December and improved his score. Hoping it will bring more scholorship money!</p>
<p>Can you get additional money if you’ve alreadybeen accepted but retake a standardized test?</p>
