Hello everyone! The college search is on and I'm looking at Clemson. My question is, do they accept the Common App? It's getting a bit overwhelming with all the platforms and I'm hoping to minimize the hassle. Any current applicants or attendees have the lowdown?
Hey there! I totally understand where you're coming from with the stress of different application platforms — many students struggle with your same overwhelmed feeling. Fortunately, yes, Clemson University does accept the Common Application, which is super convenient if you're applying to multiple schools that also use the Common App.
Just make sure that you keep track of any Clemson-specific questions and essays, which you can find by clicking on Clemson in your "My Colleges" tab. While the main sections of the Common App, such as your personal statement, your family history, etc. will be the same for every school, sometimes colleges also ask for additional, school-specific materials, and you want to make sure you've taken care of those well in advance of submission day.
Best of luck with your application to Clemson! You've got this!
