I graduated from UIUC with a graduate degree back in 1993 and know what a great school it is. My daughter recently was accepted into the school of Nursing @ Clemson. Her stats were very much like yours and honestly, I wouldn’t consider Clemson a safety school. Clemson is expensive for OOS, which she will be and not easy to get into. If you do the research on Clemson, they’re a great school by the numbers, so they can afford to be a very selective school. I hear what they offer is pretty much what you’ll expect. DD got $7,500/year as her merit.
