“I applied to Clemson with a 3Oct 12 2009Computer Science
I applied to Clemson with a 3.73 unweighted. 1210 SAT, 28 ACT. I held leadership positions in FBLA, and was a member of Beta Club and played two sports for a year each.
I wasn't in the top 20%, not even top 30%, but made it in the top half.
I was in the largest and most competitive incoming freshman class at Clemson.

I had a disciplinary infraction as a freshman for fighting (which is QUITE embarressing to put on any college application... actually it is was ABSOLUTELY humiliating to me.)
ACT: 28 Female

SAT: 1990 Male

“I transferred in from a local community collegeOct 29 2008Economics
I transferred in from a local community college. My GPA there was high so I'm sure that was the primary factor in my being admitted to Clemson. Freshmen admissions is very competitive. A good SAT score and solid high school coursework will be helpful for your chances of admission.
