I was always under the impression that clemson is rolling admission and they hand out acceptance letters periodically as they receive and review them. For example, my friend a few years back got in in November. Is it true we have to wait til february 15th? is that a new policy? please get back to me

Some applicants have already received their acceptance, but those that have all seem to have received a "provisional acceptance" with an application fee waiver after their SAT (and maybe ACT scores) were received by the school. My understanding is that Clemson is no longer a "rolling admissions" school, but they obviously do accept students with high scores early. All of this information should be on the Clemson admissions web page.

Clemson is no longer a rolling admissions school. If you apply before December 1st, you will receive a decision on February 15th. If you have exceptional stats (in line with academic recruiting scholarships) or were offered provisional admissions in your junior year, you may receive a decision earlier than February 15th.

I was just accepted to Clemson on Thursday (December 10) and I applied in mid October. I was offered an academic scholarship, though, so that's probably why.

yeah if you are eligible for academic scholarships, you may hear earlier than the february 15th priority application deadline.

I agree. I heard from Clemson on the 24th, but I was also offered a scholarship and my stats are pretty high. This leads me to believe that Clemson is still a rolling admissions school, with a notification guaranteed by the 15th of February.

Given the other school's my son has gotten into - we're pretty confident about Clemson and VA Tech, but it sure would be nice to know!

^I know how you feel, I knew all of my schools by January and Clemson's admissions letter seemed to take forever to come! (had a little countdown myself haha). Also, I think Clemson needs to put something online like other schools because the lack of communication between the applicant and the admissions office is pretty obvious.
