I do know that they only pick 10 or 15 a year. So I definitely wouldn’t count on it as a make or break no matter how impressive your stats. I know that there is a mandatory interview in the spring. But one of the previous posts on the same subject mentioned that the people that pick the National Scholars really want people that really want to be at Clemson. Not just at any top university but at Clemson specifically. (You could probably search and try to find the conversation.) My understanding from that conversation is that they are looking for the people that will come to Clemson either way but they just want to reward 10 or 15 elite students. I recall that one of the people from that conversation said that if Clemson is not absolutely where you want to be that you shouldn’t even waste your time.

10 to 15 people is not a lot. I am thinking a lot about it too. But I want to be a Tiger either way.
