Supplemental essays
- Tell us about your academic interests and professional goals (to the extent that you have identified them at this point). What experiences, talents, accomplishments, and/or characteristics inspired and contributed to these goals? What avenues have you explored to learn more about this or to gain experience in this area to date? Note: This is your opportunity to tell us who you are as a thinker. Please focus your essay on you, your experiences, and your ideas, not on what the Honors College or Clemson offers.· ~650 words
- The second essay is based on your response to one of the Common App essay prompts. If you have already written a response to one of these prompts in your Common App, that response is considered your second Honors application essay. If one is not on file, you are required to submit a response to one of the seven Common App essay prompts.
- Please use this space to share any special circumstances affecting your application that warrant consideration by the selection committee.
