Clemson Low GPA HIGH SAT/ACT

<p>I'm currently a Junior year in HS. My first two years of HS were terrible. I didn't apply myself at all and was caught up in the whole "I'm in High School, you can't tell me a thing" phase. Now those days has caught up to me and I'm in fear of my future. I want to attend Clemson University but I'm afraid I've dug myself into a hole I can't recover from. Do you think I have a chance based on : </p>

<p>2.1 GPA
2120 - SAT
30 - ACT
3.8 GPA (current year)
INSTATE
Alumni Relation - (5 family members in the last 10 years)
Minority
6 AP classes</p>

<p>I did some research for you:</p>

<p>“80% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher
10% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74
6% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49
3% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24
1% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99”</p>

<p>Also, taking a look at the graph HERE:
[Clemson</a> University - GPA, SAT Scores and ACT Scores Needed for Admission](<a href=“http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/clemson-university-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm]Clemson”>Clemson University: Acceptance Rate, SAT/ACT Scores, GPA)
… It looks to me that they don’t accept people with a GPA lower than 2.5.</p>

<p>Your current GPA is pretty high so it should be able to bump that 2.1 up a little. I think you should still apply next year. It wouldn’t hurt. I mean, your test scores are great and you ARE a legacy. But I think that you should have safety schools picked out because the odds aren’t in your favor :/</p>
