My daughter applied in September and hers has updated December as well. Guess we will eventually find out what it means!
just changed back to mid-February… so frustrating. Just told my D that we need to stop trying to read the tea leaves. We’ll know soon enough…
D’s changed back to mid-February too. Wow - that was frustrating!
My daughter is in a big snapchat group and every one of the kids said their portals all changed back to mid-February. Some of them never had the changes to December. It’s like trying to break some crazy code…

I’d bet they updated something on their end to do with priority deadline status which unintentionally triggered a “fake” date of sorts on our end.

Clemson made it clear to me that in no way does going test optional harm your application. I went test optional and was pleased to receive an acceptance last week!
Best of Luck!

Are you in state or OOS…IM worried now. 4.0…8 aps…
the rest honors classes …sports…volunteers etc
Was this message intended for me??? lol
I’m sure your son will be fine! I wouldn’t worry until they send out the letter, good or bad! Best not to assume anything til it’s said I’ve come to learn it eases my anxiety about the whole process!! Best of luck to your son

Does anybody know if this rumored Clemson hack works?
@vmarsh: After reading the entirety of last year’s thread, it appears Clemson caught wind of the hacks and disabled them. Now everyone seems to get the “token doesn’t match what’s on record” message. Bummer.

Also does anybody’s portal also say “Welcome to Clemson,(your name)”
and then tiger town bound on the side?
But then when I scroll down it still says awaiting decision.
It’s super deceiving and I don’t know if it means anything
Yes! My D’s says that and it is really confusing. Also, “Congratulations! Your application is complete.” is a super let down. Poorly worded and initially misleading for sure!
same exact wording here
Please, I’m begging y’all; don’t fall down “the hack” rabbit hole. Rooting for your students!

I noticed earlier today his portal changed, the banner that said Status: Awaiting Decision was gone. So I thought/hoped something was updating. Then later tonight my son got an email to check his portal - and his acceptance letter was in the portal. His stats:
In State
ACT: 31
Top 7%
GPA: 4.99/5.5 weighted
12 APs
various ECs
