I grew up in VA and very much agree. I did go to grad school at VT and my wife went to Veterinary school at VT, so maybe a little biased, haha. Regardless, VT is a great school. Blacksburg is an awesome little town. VT and Clemson have a lot in common, imo…
Clearly qualified so maybe an acceptance mid Feb…best of luck!

D deferred OOS w/very good stats, HS school doesn’t do rankings etc, psych major
Anyone know which majors have more openings?
TO seems to allow grade inflation and school rigor to not be measured by any standards
Many opportunities to take and retake, prefer schools who maintain test requirement and assessment

With talk of so many deferrals due to admissions not having enough time, I’m curious when the deferred students applied? Curious if they admitted based on when the kids applied?
My daughter got in for fall, she applied 9/11/23

Daughter OOS, deferred.
4.3W GPA; Rigorous private school near the top of class (school doesn’t rank)
Chemistry Major
Test Optional
Has a great application if looked at holistically. Started a few clubs, lots of work experience, volunteer time, some sports. Going to teach in South Africa this January.
Unfortunately, Clemson only looks at the numbers but she puts it near the top of her list along with UNC, NC State, and Florida so she is staying with it

Curious now if he should submit a 1290 SAT score on top of his 4.2 W GPA. Excellent resume and rigor. I know other with higher scores got deferred as well but some with lower accepted. Also curious is political science is a closed major?

For the conversation around class rank, I’m wondering if it matters more for OOS students when many students from one school applied. I could see a college that can only take a certain number of OOS students not wanting to take 10 from one OOS high school. I don’t have any evidence for this, but I’m just thinking about how they might be thinking about it.

I’m just curious as to why you are suggesting the admissions committee did not have enough time to review all of the EA applications. I’m just asking because I have not seen that in any correspondence from the school.

Saw that with in state quota desired, they need to see what quantity/quality of RD in state comes in at, before opening the flood gates to higher stat students OOS, which have much lower yield rate

According to Clemson’s Common Data Set, Standardized Test Scores are listed as very important, although it looks like there were several accepted on this thread who were test optional. According to Clemson’s website, the middle SAT range is 1230-1390. From what I have read, it is recommended to submit your scores if you are above the 50% range. With that being said, test scores are just one of several categories they look it so it may not make a difference. Rigor, Class Rank, GPA, Standardized Test Scores, and State Residency are all listed as very important. Everything else is listed as considered or not considered.

Apologies if this has been asked already, but was everyone deferred that didn’t get accepted? I have not heard of anyone being denied yet.
Good question. I’m interested in the answer on this as well, if anyone knows the answer. On the thread from last year, it does appear that at least a few were denied in the EA round. Not sure about this year. It would be a massive undertaking to review all the apps if everyone got deferred + all the RD apps!

Have not heard of anyone denied. Seems that Clemson is treating EA as an “Early Acceptance” round and deferring decisions on the rest.

They won’t ever tell you that but the HS college counselors know.

Hoping for some insight into what to put on the Deferral form as well besides submitting Sem 1 grades. Additional essay on why Clemson? Another letter of rec? Any insight as Clemson is #1 choice

Desired major seems to be important. If there is any flexibility there it might be worthwhile to indicate that.
