<p>Hey everyone! I figured I should start a thread for everyone who applied to the Honors College! Maybe we can get to know each other a little bit and discuss more about the program! What does everyone like about Clemson Honors? What do you dislike about it?</p>
Well my S applied but has not heard a thing back…but confirmed completed app…he has a very good but not ridiculous profile …1480 and 33 on test but he is pretty avg/below on EC…stuff…he is in an early college so he took every class anybody could possibly take I think…APs in 9th and 10th grade…then 2 years of college…so I guess that is pretty strong.
We all love Clemson but USC has worked harder to get him( admitted to honors and OOS) so I think he is leaning that way…but he would be pretty psyched to get invited to one of the scholarship weekends…thought that might be a stretch.
Thought I would give this a bump
My daughter also applied for Honors and has not heard anything and is not expecting to until Feb or later. One of her teachers submitted his letter a day after the priority deadline so she may not hear for some time.
She applied for admissions in Nov and has not been admitted yet. Based on their merit scholarship calculator she should qualify for their top OOS scholarship. She has been admitted to 4 other schools including two Honors Colleges and received 2 very nice recruitment scholarships for OOS. Clemson was her first choice going into the process and everytime she hears from someone else she doubts her preferences a little. We encourage her to wait for all the results. Clemson says if you applied by the priority deadline you will hear Feb 15. Some people are hearing earlier but it shouldn’t be interpreted as negative if you don’t hear until mid-Feb.
Some schools make decisions early for the specific reason of influencing young adults by making them feel wanted. Just because USC has a different admissions process doesn’t really mean anything YET. After all the results are in they may very well offer more but first does not mean best. I keep telling my daughter (and myself) to be patient. There is no need to rush one of the biggest decisions in their young lives.
