<p>Don’t know anything about sports management at SC, but your stats put you in line for a McKissick, which gets you in-state tuition plus $2000/year:</p>

<p>That is fanastic. Did not know they were so generous with OOS students</p>
<p>There was a good story in The State newspaper about 50 sports management students who are interning at olympics this year.</p>
<p>That is awesome
scmom12 you seem to know a lot about the school. I have heard the sports management program is good but coming from southern California I am kind of worried about diversity and being OOS. Any advice about school would be appreciated</p>
<p>^The school is nearly half out of state. I met several kids from California this year. Being an out-of-state student is really common. I found my classes to be pretty diverse. It is a state school, after all. You have lots of different people from different states and different socio-economic backgrounds.</p>
<p>A lot of SC is made up of very rural, poor areas, so you have students from those towns. Then you have students who come from wealthy Charleston families. Then you have students who come from out west. There are students from up north. It just goes on and on.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information. I really want to to to the school on the East Coast but initially I was looking more North. Someone suggested to take a look at USC and I have been very impressed so far</p>
<p>S is a grad of the sp mgmt program, was OOS from NY. Was also Honors College with lots of merit $ including a scholarship from the sp mgmt dept itself (look at their website for info on their merit $) He picked it above all other top ranked programs ( he was admitted to all). Did 3 interesting, diverse internships…minor league basebsll,NFL footbsll and UFC (2 are required). Faculty is top notch with a breadth of industry experience.They are particularly strong in facility management connections. Clemson wasnt even on his list,UMass, Michigan,UMiami and UFlorida were. He enjoyed his time there immensly, made some wonderful friends.Loved the variety of classes a/v in the Honors College to balance the business/sp mgmt stuff. Came home to work in a somewhat related industry and save $ for grad school, is starting a combined MBA/MS in Sp Mgmt in Sept.took 2 yrs to save enough for living expenses,got an assistanceship and tuition remission for actual program costs.</p>
<p>Cathymee thanks for the info. By any chance do you remember what your son’s high school stats were? SAT/ACT/GPA</p>
<p>thanks</p>
