<p>Received an acceptance letter today in mail!</p>
<p>Are you serious? When did you apply? Stats?</p>
<p>I thought they didn't let anybody know until February.</p>
<p>You are the second person I've heard of that has recieved this.</p>
<p>You are instate right?</p>
<p>Yes, we were shocked to get it so early. He did get a provisional letter last spring. He applied 8/1 and yes, in state. Stats top 1% of very large high school. 10 AP's upon graduation, straight A's. Don't want to publicize test scores but well above the medium range. He is also applying to honors college. Lots of EC's and awards too.</p>
<p>I got the provisional letter also. I have similar stats. Not quite as high and didn't apply as early. Maybe I'll get a letter within a month or so.</p>
<p>I can see why ya'll got one. Your son or daugther seems very smart. I bet his/her SATs are close to the 1500 range.</p>
<p>Is Clemson ya'lls first choice?</p>
<p>D daughter received her acceptence letter Oct 16th - we live in Minnesota. She submitted her application Mid September. Clemson is her Backup school unless she receives more than OOS waiver she received. Good luck to All who are waiting.</p>

<p>I received my Clemson acceptance letter about a week or so ago after applying in early September.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! I am new to the community. My daughter just applied to Clemson, so I'm sure I won't know anything until February. Question: Do applicants find out at the time of acceptance if they receive any merit-based aid or OOS waivers? Or does that come later, after she accepts? My daughter would love to go there, but it will be a challenge financially, especially coming from a neighboring state that offers the HOPE.</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore at Clemson right now, and anyway, last year quiet a few of my friends who had very good stats got acceptance letters very early...and if I remember correclty all got letters later on with good aid, and Calhoun Honors acceptance.</p>
<p>I guess they know your child is the kind of student they want, so why wait.</p>
<p>from one gym mom to another. My daughter received her OOS waiver in her letter of acceptence. She may get an acceptance letter sooner than Feb. She also received another $500 a year. After all acceptance are in they say more scholarship money may be awarded in March/April time frame. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Would you mind sharing her stats? I'm thinking my daughter may need to get her SAT up another 20 pts., since they don't "superscore". I need to set her expectations and encourage her to actually study for the next sitting if she really wants to go there!</p>
<p>gymmom2009 - My D's stats are as follows ACT 35, GPA 4.2 (unweighted) ranked #5 in class of 650.</p>
<p>My other D also applied 2 years ago and also got in with OOS waiver. Her stats were
ACT 31 GPA 4.0 Rank 40/600.</p>
<p>Hope this helps and good luck.</p>
<p>I got mine in the 15th! Pretty exciting. :)</p>
<p>how do you have an unweighted gpa over 4.0??</p>
<p>WOO! Got my acceptance letter tonight! With AN OOS WAIVER! I'm so pumped.</p>
<p>congrats! if you don't mind me asking, when did you get all of your materials in (how long did it take to hear back)? and what were some of your stats?</p>
<p>Oh no. Not at all.
I had a majority of my stuff in by late October and the rest came in early Sept. (SAT Scores) So it took somewhere around a month/month and a half.</p>

<p>wow! that's very impressive, what other schools are you considering with those kind of stats? any ivy?</p>
<p>The Calhoun Honors College at Clemson.

<p>Haha thanks for the compliment but I don't think I could get into an ivy. Let alone a merit scholarship (which is what I need the most)</p>
