My D25 applied there too. Her UTK GPA is a 4.62. Is that considered mid or high?

I donât even know what good ECs are. It seems like everyone has them.
Weâll see.
Yep. Admissions has become a mystery, and what they are looking for/how they want to balance their imcoming class is opaque. This is not just the case at Clemson. It seems to be just about everywhere.

My daughter is a triple legacy at Clemson, and applied. But we just assume we wonât be able to afford it OOS and donât talk much about her going there. She applied to 6 schools and my gut instinct is that this will be her rejection. Which is OK since she has 2 other good options already and since we probably canât afford it.
Good luck to everyone.
If that were the case, then no TO kids would be accepted. They should evaluate them equally based on what is submitted, as is stated on the admission website.
When everyone had to submit scores back in the day, colleges saw a wide variety of scores. Now only the kids with astronomical scores submit (which inflates the âaverage SAT/ACT.â So, if you have a decent score, you tend not to submit because you look lower than the average. Itâs definitely not an ideal situation.

Why would anyone bother to test if it didnât matter? My daughter at Clemson took the act and sat 3 times, she graduated HS in 2021 so was canceled many times. If 2 applications are equal, except one is TO and the other has a high score, the latter has a much better chance. A good test score helps an application.

Does anyone know how Clemson recaculates GPA? Son didnât see it anywhere in his portal. I know UTK is very transparent in how they calculate.
According to Common Data Set from 23/24, 60% of enrolled students submitted test scores with their application.

Agree it shoud be either required or not. TO skews the admissions averages substantially

This is what we are afraid of. Clemson and UTK are two of my sonâs top three choices (the other is UNC Chapel Hill, which, as a VA resident, I told him to expect a deferral at best, but itâs probably a noâŠ)
Itâs times like these when Iâm all WHY WONâT YOU LOVE OUR LOVELY IN-STATE SCHOOLS?!?!?!

My son has zero interest in UVM or any New England schools sadly.
My son had a 4.6 weighted GPA and a 4.0 unweighted, 33 ACT. There were several kids in his school with strong ACT scores (over 30), but lower GPAs (3.5ish) who were deferred last week. I am confident they will get in after this round though based on what we saw last year.
April 10, 2024 news story said: âOf 23,302 undergraduate students admitted for the 2024-25 school year, 13,822 students were admitted in âearly actionâ decisions sent on Dec. 15, 2023, while 9,480 students were admitted in âregular decisionâ communications sent on Feb. 15. Kuskowski said during the meeting that there were 60,617 total undergraduate applicants during the 2023 admissions process.â (This admitted number is slightly different, attributable to the time being April 10 at that point and there were some later admits.)
