Any idea when these decisions will drop? (other than mid-February)

Anyone guessing when RD will be released? Possible this Friday.

Last year I think it was on 2/18- so maybe next Thursday?
Based on my experiences this year and last, I think they’ll send out an email by Monday that will give us a date and time for decisions next week. I think decisions will be out Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. To my knowledge, Clemson does not have a history of releasing on Mondays or Fridays. That’s just my guess.
Also, based on what I’ve seen, the ‘withdraw application’ button will disappear once we are within 2-4 days of decisions coming out. Last year it went away on February 14th and decisions were released on February 18th.
One other thing to consider – the university did close for several days due to inclement weather. I don’t know if that will have any influence and push decisions out to the following week. I’m trying hard to stay busy so that I’m not thinking about it. 
If anyone notices changes to the available buttons post about them here. You may have noticed that the ‘change major’ button is already gone.

Do we think RD will be coming out this week?
Personally, I would be very pleasantly surprised if decisions came out this week. I think it will be next week. This is based on my experience with my son last year. Decisions came out on Feb 18th. Also the ‘withdraw application’ button disappeared 4 days before and it is still there.

Last year RD dropped Thursday, Feb 15, and Clemson is very consistent—usually Feb 14–16, often a Thursday or Friday. They haven’t posted an exact date yet, just “mid‑February.”
Realistically, expect this week or next, but most likely Thu Feb 12 or Fri Feb 13, with the usual portal update followed by email.

I’ve received exactly 2 emails from Clemson since deferral in December: an email last week announcing decision release date and an email this morning telling me about an admissions rep coming to a nearby town in March. Either a very good sign or evil levels of gaslighting

My daughter received the same email this morning.
Ok my daughter was accepted but with a Summer start. Has anyone heard if there is a pathway to appeal? Any chance of getting that switched?

Clemson Class of 2030 RD Results Survey:
This form is for tracking decision results, so it’s all centralized for future students. If you could fill this out once you get your decision, that would be very appreciated!
You can see all other people’s individual responses in the links above, along with overall form statistics (such as what percent got accepted).
They don’t have an FAQ but they do have a phone #. Call and ask. And sign up for an info session.
Congrats on getting admitted.
Daughter was waitlisted after being deferred from EA. OOS and borderline stats, so it was a stretch, but we were still hopeful for at least an invitation for summer start, so pretty disappointed.

Thanks!
My daughter’s friend appealed last year and got it changed to fall start. Her reasons were financial difficulty paying and she had a lot of college credit already so she didn’t really have elective classes left to take. She found out pretty quick too.
