Read carefully! Frequently these schools use term such as “80% of recommended applicants are accepted” or “90% of recommended, first-time applicants are accepted.” These vague statements usually indicate that the “less qualified students” (as determined by the faculty or committee evaluations) are eliminated from the application pools of these schools. This manipulation of data is usually done to recruit students to the school. Fortunately Clemson does not need to recruit in this manner! Most schools get the data from the AAMC Advisors Information Service as Clemson does. Any school should be able to show you data to back up their success rate.
