for scholarships and the honors college, I’ve been told that they will consider the prestige of your high school but the top 10% rank criteria here is indeed tough. However, you have to consider why they are doing this.

In the US News rankings, schools are rated on the quality of their students and the two factors that US News uses for this category are SAT/ACT scores and the percentage of students in the top 10% of their high school class. I’m guessing that Clemson wants to increase their stats in these categories which is why there is the class rank criteria in the out of state recruiting scholarship.
