Hey y’all, dumb question here. I did not plan on going to college until my junior year, and had a lot of unfortunate experiences freshman/sophomore year that affected my grades severely.

I am from Massachusetts and I went to visit Clemson and fell in love with it, and was wondering if I’d have any chance of acceptance based on my scores, not sure they can outweigh my GPA.

Overall GPA: 2.7 (Freshman 2.2 - Soph 2.3 - Junior 3.1 - Senior 3.4)
SAT: 1430/1600 (650 Math 780 English)
Strong recommendations and (I think) a strong essay

I got into San Diego State, Alabama, LSU, and Ole Miss so far, no rejections yet (for reference)

I know I’ll find out in a week or so, just stressed about it. Thank You.

Class Rank seems to be an important factor so if you know that it would help. GPA is not strong but that’s a good SAT and if you are in top 10% of class rank I would think you would have a shot unless you choose a major that’s full.

@Rednecksurfer … do you mind if I ask if you ended up being accepted to Clemson? I have two boys in similar situations. One has SAT 1250, GPA 3.15 and the other has 1210 SAT, 2.57 GPA. We are OOS so I know it’s a longshot but I also have a third with SAT 1360, GPA 3.74. PRAYING all three get accepted.
