<p>I am OOS (top 5 school in my state) and I was wondering if my stats would bring tuition down to in-state or possibly lower at Clemson.</p>
<p>-34 on ACT
-3.9 UW GPA (4.35 weighted)
-11 APs after senior year (so far - Physics B: 3, Bio: 4, Euro: 4, APUSH: 4, Language and Comp: 5)
-4 years of Youth in Government with multiple leadership positions
-3 years of varsity football
-Volunteering/community service through nhs, mao, and freshman mentoring
-two jobs, one at fast food for 6+ months, current at office supplies for past few months</p>
<p>Thank you to all who can help!</p>
<p>You’ve definitely got a good shot. The scholarships Clemson gives don’t usually bring it down to the same as in-state tuition but it’s pretty close ($7,500-$15,000/year depending how you rank vs other scholarship recipients, can also get additional money if you have financial aid or they have other available private scholarship money).</p>
<p>It really all depends on your class rank. As long as you’re in the top 10%, you’ll get a scholarship, though I doubt it would bring the cost down to in-state tuition. If you’re not in the top 10%, you won’t get anything. </p>
<p>From the Clemson financial aid website:</p>
<p>"Out-of-State (Domestic) Students</p>
<p>Non-Resident Merit Scholarship</p>
<p>Domestic out-of-state students with at least a 1250 SAT (CR+M) or 28 ACT and who are ranked in the top 10%* of their high school class will receive a merit scholarship of at least $7,500 annually. Students with higher test scores will be considered for these merit scholarships up to $15,000 annually.
Clemson Non-Resident Grant</p>
<p>All out-of-state students with financial need, who file the FAFSA by Clemson’s priority date of March 1st and meet academic criteria (at least a 1250 SAT (CR+M) or 28 ACT), will be considered for $2,500 annually in addition to any other scholarship(s).
In addition to the awards listed above, Clemson considers all admitted freshmen (in-state or out-of-state) for our restricted scholarships, which are usually donated by alumni and other friends of the University and awarded to incoming students. Typically, about 15% of our admitted students are offered one of these scholarships."</p>
<p>Coleminer. My D had similar stats as yours. 33 on ACT but otherwise almost identical and she received the $15k.</p>
