Jill08,

Ya i was wondering too. Let us know. I think you should get in.

jill08

nope, i got rejected. i was really surprised. oh well. I plan on going to my state school, its near clemson in the rankings so its a good school, working really hard and transferring to the school i REALLY want to go to, UMiami (rejected EA this year). at least that way it saves my parents money so if i go to miami they can have a break from the high tuition for a year.


PS im actually at clemson right now visiting my boyfriend and its not the right school for me so its really okay that i got rejected

jill08 -- it sounds like it may have been your GPA that hurt you...clemson's average is about the same as UMiami's, usually a 3.8-4.0. However, if clemson is still what you want later (or Miami, or wherever) transferring is always an option.

yeah i wasn't expecting it because my boyfriend got in last year with a 3.0 UW in the same level classes as me.
