I presume by the reference to Palmetto that you are OOS. None the less, your grades and course rigor are very good and I suspect you will be an excellent candidate. My daughters guidance counselor had contacted Clemson and they shared that the average OOS test scores had gone up significantly for the class of 2021. Average ACT for OOS was 31. Likely more popular on the national stage because of football national championship. Only other thought is that it’s hard to understand the connection between your intended first and second choice majors. You might want to articulate your interests in the limited space that the Clemson application allows.
Palmetto Boys State is in SC, so he is actually in-state. And you seem like a strong candidate, although I’m not sure how difficult Health Science is as a major to get into. You can call and ask. You are top 10% and it appears you’d nee a Palmetto Fellow, both of which help a lot. All the Best. That said, I’m certainly not predicting anything since this year will be even more competitive.
I appreciate the replies. Yes, I am in-state. As to why I have Pre-Business as a second major: I intend on applying to the administration focus of Health Science, incorporating many business-based classes into the four year cirriculum. I should’ve specified beforehand.
I’m not an expert, but researching for my son, I would say you will get in. Very nice profile.
Update: I just got into Clemson today.

@moontaxi Congratulations!!1 What major?
@Baxter126 Health Science - Administration!
did you get a merit scholarship? I thought that was all that were hearing now…
@pkgny2022 as an in-state applicant, I qualified for Clemson’s Presidential scholarship and their Palmetto Pact scholarship. The OOS applicants hearing back now are the ones receiving the defined “merit” scholarships.
