Clemson class of 2022!!

Hello TNet! Today I received my acceptance letter from Clemson (general engineering)! Both my parents graduated from here and it has been a dream of mine to go to Clemson for forever. I've been spending Saturdays in Death Valley for as long as I can remember! I'm already counting down the days until I finally get to call this place home. Been a long time reader on this site but I figured this meant that it was about time I joined in on all the action.
Go Tigers!!!

You didn't have to answer that. Just some ### trying to make a point.

...but you completely undid his point making.
Good for you and way to EARN it! Clemson will NOT disappoint.
2 recommendations: 1. Stay ahead on studying/schoolwork. 2. Get involved in something that relates to your career, or something you want to be doing after college.

Certainly did for me 46 years ago. I had good grades and a GREAT SAT score, and in state. (Of course, this was back when SAT only had two parts, and had to walk uphill 5 miles in the snow in South Carolina both ways to/from high school, you get it.) Clemson was the only school I even applied to. I would have been SOL if I had not been accepted, at least for a year. I could be dead wrong, but I believe they put more emphasis, even back then, on high SAT / ACT scores than they do grades coming out of high school. It's that old "potential" thing.
"I see lots of potential in this room. YOU have potential, YOU have potential, etc." That was a great commercial.

Congrats to you young sir! It will be the best four years (or more depending on your style!) of your life! There truly is something in those hills...

Congrats, 2 pieces of advice.
1. Do well in school. You will appreciate it when you're 26.
2. Chase the hot tail all over campus. This is the only thing you will regret not doing more when you're 26.

There needs to be an amendment to this

Never stop chasing hot tail. A 10:1 turn down/hit it ratio is actually very good.

You have probably heard already, but Engineering is the toughest major there is at Clemson in your Freshman year. Their goal is to intimidate and winnow you out early.
Not to discourage you, more of a heads-up. Bear down and play their game and you'll be fine if you have the chops. The upper class years will be much more fun.
