Is Clemson a reach ? Also applying to ( Penn State, Ohio State, Nc State, and florida state) I have an 1160 SAT and a 4.4 W GPA. Also in the top 30% of my class.
It’s hard to say without knowing your home state, ECs/major, and unweighted GPA, but your SAT score puts you below Clemson’s 25th SAT percentile which was 1220 in 2018.
My home state is PA. For ECs/ Clubs i’m in the FBLA, Im an ambassador for my school, music appreciation and Pop culture club , CYO basketball, and a KAIROS retreat. I’m applying for business undecided. And my school doesn’t list unweighted gpa on transcripts so idk what it is, but it’s probably around a 3.7.
All is not lost. Your GPA is still very strong. Penn State is about 50/50 with your stats, and you’re in PA, which puts you at an advantage. All the other schools are out of state, which makes them a lot more competitive. You may want to do some studying and go back and retake your SAT. With a 1300, you could lock down Penn State.
