Nice first post.

Best School in the state.. Let's compare Clemson University Vs. Wofford College.

Let's look at incoming Freshmen SAT scores, since that is a large basis of acceptance:

Wofford:

Sat Verbal 75th percentile score: 680

Sat Math 75th percentile score: 660

Clemson:

SAT Verbal 75th: 640

SAT Math 75th: 680

20 points in favorite of Wofford College on SAT.


Acceptance rate:

Wofford:
Applied: 2,363
Admitted: 1,415
Enrolled: 392

% Admitted: 60%
% Enrolled (from Admitted): 27%

Clemson:

Applied: 14,504
Admitted: 8,355
Enrolled: 2,982

% Admitted: 58%
% Enrolled (from Admitted): 35%

27% of the students Accepted to Wofford attend... 35% of students accepted to Clemson attend. I don't need to even mention the % admitted.

Let's now look at Cost, for in-state students..

Wofford:

Tuition: $30,280
On-campus Housing: $8,205

Clemson:

Tuition: $11,078
On-Campus Housing: $6,774


Degrees (Undergraduate) offered:

Wofford: 297

Clemson: 3,179

You can pay 3x as much, for less than 10% of the degree choices.


and on a saturday during the fall, you can watch Wofford beat the mighty Appalachian State Mountaineers or you can watch Clemson beat 3 consecutive ranked football programs.

Dex, I think "Degrees Offered" is probably degrees awarded - total numbers, not number of options.

Check out stats like average class size, student to faculty ratio and # of faculty with PhDs. I'm pretty sure Wofford wins in those categories.


Clemson Class Size

Student-faculty ratio 16:1 , 4-year graduation rate 50%

Wofford Class Size

Student-faculty ratio 11:1 , 4-year graduation rate 78%

Wofford ranks ninth nationally in the percentage of students who study abroad.


I've not been on Clemson's campus, nor am I a fan of their athletic programs. However, based on the level of douchebaggery I saw at Carolina while I was there for grad school, I would be hesitant to send my boys to school there. No way in hell I'd let my daughter set one foot on campus.

You're Right.

Lists the degrees and number of graduates. Good catch.


Wofford has Clemson on size, for sure. and given an opportunity at free education there, I'd enroll tomorrow.


My "wofford sucks" was aimed at , who got the message.


#1 Private in the State : Wofford
#1 Public in the State : Clemson
#1 Military College in the state: The Citadel
#1 Law School in the State: Carolina

See, everybody wins.

Your financial argument doesn't hold water either...

Clemson Financial Aid:



Wofford Financial Aid:


Wofford may have a higher cost, but more financial aid is available. I paid about 6 grand out of pocket and borrowed about 6 grand for 4 years there. Granted, I owed 4 years to Uncle Sam in return for a 2 year ROTC scholarship, but I'm not complaining.

Just like clockwork....too bad RL knocked your dick in the dirt on this one

[Moatsy]

to each his own... I could've never afforded Wofford, or any other private school for that matter. Though, in retrospect, I wouldn't be making a single dime more if I had gone there.

Shitty female stats.

The irony, I pulled a schmoking hot German chick outta ya'lls pool of availables...
