So close ... OOS Scholarship ?? 1350 on SAT...

<p>My daughter has wanted to go to Clemson since she was 10 years old. Her grandfather, father, 2 aunts, and 2 uncles have graduated from Clemson. She has worked very hard to achieve her goal of attending Clemson. BUT … we live out of state and she really needs to get the OOS Scholarship to be able to attend.</p>

<p>Here are her “stats”… </p>

<p>SAT - 1350 (math + reading)
Class Rank 21/411 (5%)
GPA (weighted) - 4.66
GPA (unweighted) - 3.8</p>

<p>I have read that the SAT score for the scholarship is 1370 … she is so close. Has anyone received the OOS scholarship this year with a SAT that is lower than 1370? </p>

<p>What do you think her chances are of getting the scholarship? And will she find out on Feb 15 or will it be later?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>To be honest, I don’t think the chances of getting the scholarship are very good. About half of the students who go to Clemson were ranked in the top 10% of their high school class and I’m sure there’s a good number of people who had SAT’s above 1370. They only have a limited amount of scholarship money because of the decline in state supported funding and Clemson’s #1 priority is the residents of South Carolina. They’ve gotta cut of scholarships somewhere. You’ll probably get a small scholarship but I don’t think chances are that great that you will get the OOS waiver.</p>

<p>But you never know! Good luck!</p>
