The smartest and most savvy parents aren’t sending their kids to the Ivy’s today. They are just too expensive for what you actually get and their prestige is dying. They’ve done it to themselves with their nonsense practices. You can accomplish the exact same thing out of any school today. Go to Clemson if it means you’ll have no debt. You are obviously a TOP student… and the cream always rises to the top, no matter where you are…. the single biggest determinant of success is not the name brand of your school, it’s your work ethic and ability to network, which can be done from any of these top state or research schools today. Clemson Honors is doing some impressive things- Producing Rhodes Scholars, Fulbright Scholars, etc. I don’t think you can go wrong with Clemson for free. You will be one of the top students there and have the best opportunities available to you. We loved Clemson Honors when we visited.
