Rejected.
We will now most likely be Texas-bound as daughter got into TCU and Baylor (with generous scholarships thankfully). She was really hoping to have Clemson to choose from as well. Se la vie!

My son has friends who were waitlisted last year and ultimately got in for January start. Who knows what works, but I know they sent letters to Clemson confirming their continued interest, and also had school guidance counselors follow up too to talk up the student.
I canāt say for sure but it doesnāt seem like a ton of waitlisted kids got in for a Fall start last year. They were oversubscribed for freshman so my understanding is that the kids who got in off the waitlist got a January start. Of course, this would vary every year depending on how many kids say yes by May 1.
I feel awful for you. This process has been heartbreaking and we havenāt even reached RD for reach schools. It doesnāt change the work ethic and effort it took to get the grades. Proud of these kids.

My son was waitlisted in 2020 and then offered a January start. He had already committed to another college and didnāt want to wait another semester to start college.

I heard timing on when applications were submitted had an affect on wait lists, bridge and denials.
My daughter applied in November and received bridge acceptance. Her friend, with similar stats, applied much later and denied.

My son was accepted, but got into TCU as well. Heās seriously considering TCU. Weāre visiting later this month. I know several families whose kids went there, Iāve never heard a bad word.

My DS x 2 got in via the Summer Start program. Can anyone give me a little more insight on that? Originally we took it as a negative but looks to be a positive!

My son got in with same stats, did you do test optional? He submitted his SAT with a 1370 and got in.
We also visited and loved it. Her friend from dance has been there for two years and says sheās āliving her best lifeā. lol
My daughter was waitlisted and her friend with worse stats got in. Both OOS and TO. Very confused and disheartened.
That is an interesting thought, my son did apply early October and got in.

Bridge to Clemson
Students admitted to the Bridge to Clemson program will begin their Clemson experience by taking courses at Tri-County Technical College for their first year. Bridge students must express interest in the program by April 24 and have until May 1 to commit to Clemson. Some students will also be offered a place on the Bridge to Clemson waitlist.
Sorry to hear that. Did they apply for the same major? If so which one?
