Hey everyone, I'm really interested in applying to Clemson University next year, but I'm not sure about its competitiveness. Does anyone have recent or accurate admissions statistics for Clemson? Would be a lifesaver, thanks!
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some updated admission stats for Clemson University! Please keep in mind that these are estimates, and the acceptance rates can fluctuate each year depending on the applicant pool.
As of the most recent data available, the acceptance rate at Clemson University is approximately 43%, which means out of every 100 applicants, roughly 43 are admitted. This places Clemson in the relatively competitive category for admissions.
Regarding standardized test scores, for students who chose to submit their test results:
- The middle 50% range of SAT scores for admitted students was roughly between 1240 and 1400.
- On the ACT, the middle 50% ranged from 28 to 32.
For GPA:
- The average unweighted high school GPA of admitted students was around a 3.8 on a 4.0 scale.
Remember that these are merely averages and Clemson takes a holistic approach to admissions. Hence, other factors such as your high school curriculum, grades, essay, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, and 'the fit' with the University are also important components of your application. Don't be discouraged if your test scores or GPA fall outside these ranges—it certainly doesn't rule out a successful application! Feel free to explore Clemson's official website for the most accurate and comprehensive admissions information. Best of luck with your application!
