Summer, but it says decision ready tomorrow
Portal has:
No withdraw application option anymore
No change major option anymore
Still has Update button for the personal information, and still has "Starting at Clemson in Fall 2023"which has been there all along. Applied for Fall and checked yes box for summer option.

Did you check summer start as an option or was there a way to apply directly to summer start?
my daughter checked yes for summer start by applied for fall 2023. her portal still says âstarting in fall 2023.â
I applied for Fall 2023 but checked the option to start in the summer if needed. My portal says, starting in Fall 2023. No withdrawal or change major option is showing. I can still update contact info. Not sure what all this means⊠we will know tomorrow

I donât know if my daughter checked summer start. Can you see on the portal?
I think there was an option to apply for Summer and also a box to check to be considered for summer. I really wanted my son to check the box but he didnât.
If you checked to be considered for summer does it show on portal?

my daughter doesnât have the withdraw button anymore but isnât this the first year of EA? That may be why.
Many schools make their withdrawal button disappear for all applicants before decisions come out just for recordkeeping purposes. I wouldnât read anything in to that going missing.

Is this the first time that Clemson is using early action? Saw somewhere that the school might defer a substantial number of EA applicants to RD given the considerable jump in applications at this time. Curious if anyone else saw that?
Considering theyâre not giving out summer start and bridge EA, which they did in the last priority, makes me think theyâre deferring a lot this year.
Yes, my daughterâs college advisor said to expect many deferrals in the EA round. She expects most EA admits to be in-state high stat kids (we are OOS). Weâll see!

Itâs tough to tell. My DD last year OOS test optional, nursing found out before Thanksgiving.
I believe theyâre extending more acceptances to this type of cohort vs waiting until Feb.
net, net, deferrals will likely just happen earlier which isnât a bad thing vs getting deferral in Feb and waiting until April/may to get a final answer.
This year 70% of CU apps were test optional. Another plug for the common data set and using that info to submit when youâre comfortably in the top 1/3 of scores (assuming other stats are good).

Clemsonâs charter is to the students of SC first so they will always get priority. However itâs not to the extent of UNC-CH which must have 80% instate kids.
On a lesser note For housing, application date absolutely matters unless you want to live in those communities. We found a lot of kids prefer the high rises and other dorms. Your application date establishes your selection priority for those.
We used Clemson app and applied at 12:15am once it opened.

Does anyone know if admissions takes into consideration when you applied (not for housing but for acceptance)? We applied at midnight on 8/1âŠ
Who knows? Clemson has so many out-of-state kids they probably have a very good handle on the yield for both in-state and out-of-state. Agree admits will be conservative for EA if there was a jump in applications. Although this is the first time theyâve done EA, their rolling admission for high stats kids was basically EA. Clemson admissions are almost entirely stat-based so likely higher stats get in for EA.
