<p>Curious on Son's chances:</p>
<p>Out of state student
Top 10 school in state academically
Caucasian</p>
<p>4.2/5.0 unweighted
No AP or H's
ACT 31 first attempt</p>
<p>Varsity basketball
Varsity baseball
Limited volunteer work
Summer 20hrs work per week</p>
<p>Dose of reality here? I've been emphasizing a need to uptick the gpa...</p>
<p>Are you sure that’s the unweighted and not weighted GPA? It’s just most schools have 5.0 weighted GPA’s, and I’ve never heard of an unweighted on a 5.0 scale. But if it’s UW, that translates to a 3.33 UW GPA (on a 4.0 scale).</p>
<p>Also, has he been recruited by Clemson for his athletics? (I’d doubt it, considering you’re OOS, but, hey…)</p>
<p>Final verdict as of now, I’d say his 31 and sports give him a pretty good shot, a 75% if you want a number. Not quite bad, but, of course, he would be better with a higher GPA and Honors classes.</p>
<p>His ACT is great although his GPA is a little low. I’d say he has a great shot of getting in especially since hes involved in sports. I wish him the best of luck! He might even get a scholarship based on his ACT. I recieved a scholarship of 40K with a 2010 SAT and they basically only looks at that when awarding scholarships</p>
