Could you let me know what my chances are and what I need to do now or write on my application in order to increase my chances. I am having a hard time deciding between University of South Carolina and Clemson. Please help me decide which is the better school. Thank you, I appreciate it!

The best thing you can do is devote a ton of time to getting your ACT up. The average there is a 29 with the bottom 25% being 26. I think you need at least a 26 to have a fighting chance.

I suggest that you look at the common data set for each school to see how your stats compare to the students accepted into the most recent class .Are you instate or OOS ?

Clemson admits based on GPA , test scores, rank and rigor. ECs are not weighted or considered heavily.

Yes, that tutoring service I enrolled in should help me bump it up much higher than it is. Thank you for the response. I will definitely try to bring that up. I know it is very low.

Ok great and yes I am in state!
