Hello, I am planning on (attempting) to go to Clemson University when I graduate. However, I do have a few questions… I am not the best highschool student. I currently have a ~2.2 GPA and an ACT score of 21 (planning on retaking for a higher score). However, the reason for my low GPA is mainly due to me owning my own online business and working many long, and late nights to complete tasks that needed to be done. I currently run my own Online Server Hosting Business which I do own an LLC for and my day to day tasks consist of back end/front end website development, windows/linux/ubuntu server administration, and various forms of other software development.I make around 4-5 grand a month as a junior in highschool and have been building the business higher and greater since late 2015. This being said, if I were to write a very detailed, and convincing letter showing off my real world skills and experience I possess, and of course have a portfolio to display which would show all of my past and current projects, would Clemson see that I am a person of great potential despite my GPA? Or am I better off pursuing owning my own large scale. long term company and forgetting about college all together? I look forward to hearing from you guys. Thank you!
