<p>I'm not an admissions person so I have absolutely no idea really what your chances are but here are some stats that will help you see what your own chances are:</p>
<p>From the Clemson admissions website:</p>
<p>For the 2012 class:
52% of the freshmen graduated in the top 10% of their high school class,
76% graduated in the top 20%,
97% finished in the top half of their class.</p>
<p>For the 2012 freshman class:</p>
<p>There is no set cutoff point for SAT I scores, but the mean SAT score for entering freshmen was 1246, and the middle 50% range was 1170-1330*.
--SAT II subject tests are not required.
*The SAT score is comparable to Critical Reading and Math scores only. Writing assessment scores, which are mandatory, are not included.
The middle 50% range for ACT scores was 26-31.
Other factors including choice of major, S.C. residency, community service, school involvement and work experience are given some consideration in the admissions decision.</p>
