<p>Ok!</p>

<p>Clemson is my number one choice and I will definitely be letting them know I would do anything to go there!</p>

<p>I am out of state from Fairfax County, Virginia.
My brother went to Clemson.
I would like to major in Early Childhood Education or Elementary Education.
I have taken 3 APs and 4 Honors.
National Honors Society for 3 years.( Lots of other clubs as well)
Varsity Cheer for 4 years and captain this year.</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.74 weighted
...but the grading system until last year (2009) was:
(94-100= A) (90-93= B+) (84-89= B)(80-83= C+) etc.</p>

<p>When I say weighted I mean they just recently retroactivated our Honors and AP courses. Giving us .5 for Honors and 1.0 for APs</p>

<p>They however did not change our grades to the normal grading scale which is now<br>
(90-100=A)</p>

<p>If my grades were to be retroactivated to a normal grading scale, my GPA would be 3.91</p>

<p>I am waiting on my ACT score, but I was wondering what some of you may think I need to get on it to get in and if I have a good chance?!</p>

<p>Thanks so much :)</p>

<p>I think an ACT score of 24-29 would be good enough since you are an A student (I know Virginia has those funky grading scales but I think schools like Clemson have seen enough applications to know that). I think you’ll definitely get in. Look forward to seeing you next fall!</p>

<p>I agree with Pierre, although I think a 24 ACT may be a bit on the low side.</p>

<p>Oh great!! </p>

<p>Thank you so much! </p>

<p>And yes I definitely agree… from what I know and from what I have heard, it probably needs to be around a 26-27, or higher. So after 3 ACT tests, if I end up taking the one in December, hopefully my scores will be good enough!</p>

<p>I really hope and pray! :slight_smile: :)</p>

<p>yeah I agree, if you get a 27 or higher, that would be perfect</p>
