My GPA is a 3.8 and my ACT is a 28
OOS (NC)
4.1 wGPA
1410 SAT
acceptance letter arrived today for D20 but no mention of merit aid.
My DD had the hack positively change last Tuesday. No letter today while others in our zip code got their packets.
Did denial letters go out?
Did the hack mislead us?
@sydneyj is your gpa weighted or unweighted? thanks for the info!
@ncmom2020 So he got his decision today and still got merit aid? Iām trying to figure out if I still have a chance at merit haha
@cinemababe actually I think Clemsonās website indicates that scholarships are given based off of GPA. It makes no mention of test scores. D20 has gotten a lot of merit aid at every OOS school she got into and I think it was because they used a combo of GPA and test scores together.
@jmelt42 Yes. Just received acceptance packet today and it mentioned merit aid.
From Clemson site. regarding Merit
Out-of-State Tuition Scholarship
Domestic out-of-state students with at least a 1340 (EBRW+M) on the SAT or a 29 on the ACT composite and who are ranked** in the top 10%* of their high school class will be considered for a renewable merit scholarship. Further, students who demonstrate financial need through their FAFSA application will be considered for renewable grant funds in addition to any merit scholarship offered.
Our school doesnāt do class rank. Interesting how this will play out for my twins.
Both hacks changed on 1/28 and the acceptance letter for Nursing arrived today!
Did the hacks work for you?
To the students who received the big orange acceptance letterāCONGRATULATIONS!

Has anyone tried typing their CUID into the Clemson bridge website? https://iroarservices.app.clemson.edu/bridgeinterest/
Please let me know what it says. (Even if youāre child has been accepted!!)
Iām a senior waiting for my orange packet. The āhackā changed to āthis activation token does not match the one on fileā about two days ago. However, when I typed my CUID into the bridge website it said āwelcome to bridgeā. Iām just wondering if itās legitimate.

@separatelayer I also received that message when I entered my CUID.
Thanks for letting me know!! I will accept the bridge Iām just disappointed because Iāve seen people with lower stats than me get in but you never know what Clemson wants.
@Lydybird Got the welcome to bridge screen. Which is good news for us! Hope it is real.
