<p>I just returned from a visit to Clemson, and love it! I have applied for admission (applied Oct.) to their L & IT program. I have a 3.8 weighted GPA and an 27 ACT comp. (29 math, 29 English) I am taking it again in Dec because admissions said they would accept those scores. Have taken all the AP and honors classes my school offers. Great EC s and leadership roles in sports, but Clemson says they really don't consider this. My biggest problem is class rank...26 out of 85 (small parochial school.) I AM in a very competitive class. Also, I am out of state. What are my chances? Thanks.</p>
<p>Your grades are good and your ACT score is in range of what Clemson usually wants so they might overlook your class rank. Also if your school has a good reputation, that may help you out.</p>
<p>I’d say you have a good chance of getting in. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks! My OOS status does concern me…</p>
<p>don’t let it be. In 2010, the in-state acceptance rate for the College of Arts, Architecture and Humanities was 55.1% while the out-of-state acceptance rate was 49.4% so the difference isn’t that big. The reason there are more in-state students can be seen in the % that actually enroll. 49.2% of accepted in-state students enroll while only 14.9% of accepted out of state students enroll</p>

<p>Thanks for that info, Pierre. My S is also OOS, so your facts definitely help ease the mind!</p>
