About admissions at Clemson University

Clemson University accepts about 38.3% of applicants. A strong profile has a genuine shot, but you'll want your application to stand out beyond grades and scores alone.

Admitted students typically score between 1240 and 1410 on the SAT, or 28–32 on the ACT. Falling below that range doesn’t disqualify you — it means the rest of your application needs to carry more weight.

The number that actually matters isn’t this school’s average — it’s how your specific application measures up. That’s what IvyscoreAI tells you.
