My older son is currently a sophomore and did summer start. He was so upset to get summer start… but it ended up being such a great experience. He is now in a fraternity and all of his summer friends split into other frats, but they all still keep a tight bond and are very close. They see each other all the time and it’s great. His summer buddies are usually the first I get the update on when we chat. Summer start was a huge blessing and a great way to ease into college life. I know it doesn’t always seem like that on day 1… but for my kid, we’d choose it all over again, every time!!

Yes, I have heard nothing but positives about the summer start program. I have a current sophomore who knows lots of kids that did it and had the best experience. Thank you for sharing about your son!

My son got Summer start as well after being deferred EA. 1420, 4.33, Eagle Scout and lots of other EC’s, Dad, two Aunts are graduates and Grandfather was professor there for almost two decades. Not for him. Heading to UF in the Fall. I agree with you thought. I don’t think the Summer start is a bad thing!

Wow! That’s nuts! My son was denied at UF with a 4.0 weighted and unweighted, 35 ACT, Editor In Chief of the Yearbook, VP Communications of the Band, National Merit commended, Young Men Service League for 4 years with over 100 volunteer hours, high school character award, etc. He’s still at school working on a yearbook deadline so I don’t know what’s going on with Clemson. After reading some of these posts I’m not reassured!
