<p>After being waitlisted, my son has now received an offer for Jan admission at Clemson. Would it be tough to miss the first semester with the freshman class, orientation, etc and come in as the new guy in Jan? I'm thinking that Clemson is so big that it wouldn't be a big deal and no one would even remember he wasn't there first sem of freshman year. But, I can understand why he is a little apprehensive as it is much easier to start when everyone is new. Anybody have experience with Jan admission?</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a big deal. Encourage your son to get involved on campus immediately with student organizations or other student activities, it’ll make the transition a lot easier.</p>
