<p>i wonder if you in-state residency comes into play here. Furman looking for more SC students where Clemson is not this year? Every year it is different.</p>
<p>I GOT ACCEPTED TO CLEMSON!!! yay</p>
<p>I'm out of state in PA, and got waitlisted with:
580 SAT Critical Reading
710 SAT Mathematics (1290/1600)
560 SAT Writing (1850/2400)
28 ACT Composite
29 ACT English
31 ACT Math
3.3 Unweighted GPA
4.0 Weighted GPA
I'm taking 3 AP classes this year, and took one last year. I got 3 A's and 3 B's first semester.</p>
<p>What do you think my chances of being accepted off of the waitlist are?</p>
<p>jrosso, I think that if you send them a letter indicating your continued interest in Clemson and clearly state that you would definitely go there if accepted and ask that that be put in your application file, that might increase your chances. Also, don't let your grades slip at all.</p>
<p>I read an article that someone posted here that said that Clemson accepted more students than usual as a risk, it depends on how many people accept Clemson's offer but if the same percentage of students commit (like normal), you may have a harder time getting in this year off the wait list.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>jrosso, I was accepted to Clemson first week of Feb. (yay go tigers!) and you actually have higher test scores than me:
SAT math: 570
SAT reading: 650
SAT writing: 610
composite: 1220/1600 and 1830/2400
ACT composite: 27
so my test scores a little lower but I had a 3.86 weighted GPA and a 3.7 unweighted GPA and I only took 1 AP class. I'm also OOS, I live in GA.</p>
<p>Also, I think the above discussion (Furman v.s. Clemson) is just that it depends. I think a lot of people consider Furman to be harder to get into than it really is, but people with tough grades go there as well. I know personally 2 people who are going there, one is a girl with average at best stats (she wouldnt have gotten into UGA) and one is very smart and did get into UGA (which is a very competitive school for people who dont live here lol) so i think it all depends! other things come into play such as major choice and extra curriculars so i think they're both difficult and great schools that just look at different things.</p>
<p>Also, I have a question if anyone knows.. People keep mentioning an OOS waiver?? Does this mean an out-of-state waiver? Because I definitely need that!!! and if it is who is eligible?! Thanks in advance =]</p>
<p>christina, the OOS waivers have already been handed out so the chances that you will still get one are slim (I think it came with the admissions letter). Anyways the requirements for an academic recruiting scholarship (includes OOS waiver):</p>
<p>-Top 10% of your HS class
-SAT Critical Reading + Math score of 1350
-ACT score of 31</p>
<p>Congrats on getting accepted, Christina! The reason I feel I was not accepted is because Clemson somehow never received my SAT scores, even though they were sent electronically twice and through my high school once. Although I did a rush sending of the scores to Clemson as soon as I found this out (two weeks ago) they still have not received my test scores. Unfortunately for us, I don't believe we will end up getting an out-of-state waiver.</p>
