• Question:-Clemson???
  Does Clemson University have a Marine Biology as a major???? Please answer yes or no!!! one of my friends says yes but I cant find it on there website.
  USC Charleston rocks but so does Clemson. and anyway my bf wants to go there, and we both want the same profession, Marine Biology. I have wanted that since 5th grade!! he has since 6th!!
  
  Answer:-Through the biology department you can choose an interest in marine biology. The link below shows faculty members who are interested in that field. I would suggest contacting one of them for more information about that field at Clemson. Good luck.
• Question:-what does it take to get accepted into Clemson University?
  I have a GPA of 3.7, my class rank is 60 out of 400, and I am taking all AP and Honors classes also next year I will be taking IB and more AP classes. I am involved in many extracurricular activities, i would really like to go to Clemson when i graduate. Am i on the right track to getting in, and what could I do to make my chances of getting in better?
  
  Answer:-Admission to Clemson is all about academics, academics, academics. And SAT scores. Your GPA and your class rank (top 15%) will definitely get Clemson's attention, as will your AP and IB courses. I'd say you're on the right track--just make sure you nail your SAT score. Take some prep courses if you feel you need to.
  
  Clemson does not consider extracurricular activities in its admissions decision, so just keep that in mind. I don't ever want to tell students to drop their extracurriculars, but will only say to make sure they're not affecting your grades or otherwise distracting your academics.
  
  If you have a relative who goes/went to Clemson, make sure you mention that. Clemson takes "legacy" status into consideration. And if you're in-state your chances are better than if you're out-of-state.
  
  Long story short I think you've got a great chance. Good luck!
• Question:-How does Clemson's undergraduate physics program rank nationally?
  I'm trying to make an educated decision between NC State and Clemson, and as a physics major the quality of the undergraduate physics program is of great importance to me. I'm looking for any empirical data comparing the two physics programs; also, if anyone has any firsthand experience in Clemson's physics program, your input would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Answer:-Clemson is better than NC State, for physics and most other programs as well. Undergraduate physics programs aren't ranked; grad programs are, and Clemson isn't in the top 100, but rankings are directly proportional to how many PhDs you graduate per year, and Clemson has a much smaller program than most schools. However, they do have a good number of great professors and a lot of opportunities for undergraduates to do research. Recent graduates from there have gone to some top graduate programs.
• Question:-How to get college information mailed to you from Clemson University?
  I'm a Junior in high school and I have been requesting information from many colleges to be mailed to me, from their website.
  
  For some reason, I can't find any link on the Clemson site to fill out a form for information to be mailed to me.
  
  Can someone help me out?
  
  Answer:-Here's a link to request program information. Good luck!

• Question:-Do students who apply to Clemson from out of state usually get accepted?
  I am a student attending high school in New York and my main choice for college is Clemson University. My grades are above 90 and I play baseball as well. I have yet to take my SAT's so that is the one thing I need to do well on before I apply to Clemson. Please, let me know any additional information on what else I need to do before I apply to Clemson.
  
  Answer:-Clemson's student body is about 1/3 out-of-state students, but it's a competitive admissions environment for out-of-staters. I would recommend your SAT scores be above the 75th percentile, which is around 1360 (out of 1600; they require all 3 sections of the SAT now, i believe, but I don't know what the percentiles are for the scores out of 2400). Anything over 1400 (out of 1600) will definitely get their attention. If you're taking any AP courses, sending your scores to Clemson will get their attention as well--providing they're 3 or higher of course :) Also your class rigor (how many advanced classes you're taking), GPA, and class rank will have a big effect on their decision.
  
  Clemson doesn't consider extracurricular activities in their admissions, so don't go overboard with those trying to be a "well-rounded" applicant--Clemson's more interested in your academic potential, with the philosophy that there will be plenty of time once you get there to become well rounded (and that's true--there are oodles of extracurriculars to choose from on campus).
  
  Lastly, if you have a relative who's a Clemson alumni, you should absolutely mention that on your application. It does have an influence on admissions decisions.
  
  Best of luck!!
• Question:-What is the hardest majors at Clemson University in order from hardest to easiest?
  I have been searching the web and can't find a place that shows the hardest majors at Clemson University...Does anyone know where I can find one or have a list of them in ranking?
  
  Answer:-You won't find such a list because Clemson doesn't publish one--officially it doesn't exist. But unofficially and off the top of my head, the hardest majors at Clemson traditionally include
  + Architecture (Clemson has an elite architecture school)
  + Engineering of any kind
  + Nursing
  + Business
  + Accounting
  + Graphic Design
  + Microbiology
  
  Clemson also has an outstanding education department; I know it's considered very challenging, but I don't know if it's considered "hard".
  
  Easiest majors are traditionally ones like PRTM, Language and International Trade, English, and some of the liberal arts courses. But to be honest, I think that's misleading--those majors are all very challenging! I don't know of any majors at Clemson that are "easy". Your guidance counselor would probably have better insight at what majors are easier to *get into*, though.
• Question:-How is the undergraduate engineering program at Clemson?
  I have a previous degree in bio and am considering transferring to Clemson for engineering. I have an interest in biomed/mechanical engineering...how is the program and the school/ area overall? Any advice?
  
  Thanks!
  
  Answer:-Clemson has an outstanding undergraduate engineering program in all the engineering disciplines, including Mechanical engineering. It is known as an engineering school, and with good reason.

• Question:-Is Clemson university among the top universities like Georgia Tech?
  I would like to know the ranking of Clemson university. Is it a top university?Is it a private university? Is it among the top-graded universities? What about the placements?Please help.How do you compare Goergia Tech with Clemson ?Is the former a good university?
  
  Answer:-Clemson is a public, land-grant university. It has been ranked the 22nd-best public university in the country for 2 years in a row now (and I believe 61st best university overall?), so yes it's an excellent school. It has an outstanding engineering program that is highly respected throughout the Southeast, in engineering hubs around the country (i.e. Washington DC, Washington State), and indeed nationwide. It is one of the harder schools to get into.
  
  Georgia Tech is absolutely an excellent school as well and you would do well to be accepted by either institution. I think Georgia Tech probably has a better reputation than Clemson as an engineering school, but I suspect that's because it has a huge focus on engineering itself while Clemson has a much broader set of majors in engineering, science, humanities, and the liberal arts.
• Question:-Has Clemson ever worn orange jerseys and purple pants? If so do you know when was the last time they did?
  Has Clemson ever worn orange jerseys and purple pants? If so do you know when the last time it was?
  
  Answer:-No, they've never worn that combination. They've worn the opposite combo (orange pants and purple jerseys) multiple times, but never orange jerseys and purple pants. It's the only combination of orange, purple, and white they haven't worn.
  
  I believe that before the 2006 Georgia Tech game, the team warmed up in purple pants and orange jerseys. But they switched to all-purple before the game started.

publishers clearing house

• Question:-If you get a letter from Publishers clearing house are you a guaranteed winner of a prize?
  Okay if you have entered in a few sweepstakes from the publishers clearing house.
  and a few weeks/months later you get a letter in the mail box saying you might of won a prize of $1,000 or more!
  does this mean you are a guaranteed winner! or does everyone who entered get one of these letters?
  
  Answer:-Yes, chances are you've won nothing and they are going to hound you until you order magazines. Even IF you order magazines, they will try to keep baiting you and put you on every mail order list in the world. Get ready for a LOT of junk mail.
  
  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news : (
• Question:-I am trying to find out if I have a publishers clearing house winning letter.What do I do?
  I got a letter from a kelly edwards that says I won a international sweeps stake.How do I find out if it is real?It is Publishers clearing house.supposedly that is.
  
  Answer:-This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them.
  http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lotteryscam_Yahoo3.php
  Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

• Question:-Do you think that publishers clearing house is a Scam?
  Do you think that publishers clearing house is a Scam? Yes Or No?
  
  Answer:-Yes I do. I have always thought it was a scam.
• Question:-Is the mail from Publishers Clearing House actually safe?
  So I recieved a mail from Publishers Clearing House saying "win free cash" PCH's Lucky 7's and if I get a row of three 7s i win 25,000.It asked me to give my name,address,city,state,zip. I want to know if its say to send this information.
  
  Answer:-It is safe. But it is a waste of time and money. My grandma did that for years. They tell you, you can win millions in a drawing and if you buy stuff from them you will have a better chance. Its just a way to hustle you.
• Question:-What do I do with this Publishers Clearing House Playing Card?
  I opened up my "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine and out popped a fake playing card with the emblem from the "Publishers Clearing House 2010" on it. It's the Ruby Red Queen of Hearts, if that helps at all. I don't know what I'm to do with this and I found their website unhelpful. I would like a pretty clear answer about how I would use this card - or if it's just trash.
  
  It also says "You found it! Now enter at once!"
  
  Answer:-I would trash it. You don't need a playing card to play on PCH. The whole site is around the fact that an x number of people will enter into a sweepstakes. Considering the card was in a magazine, your chances of winning are still crappy. Plus if you have to send it in that's a whole envelope and stamp wasted on a stupid entry.
  
  P.S. I like swagbucks myself - i get swagbucks for searching for things online and then I can redeem them for prizes. So far I have about 900 swagbucks, and it has only been a month or two.
• Question:-My family and I were wanting to be the Publishers Clearing House Group for Halloween.?
  Does anyone have any old Publishers Clearing House Stamps or know where I could get them? We were wanting to hand them out as part of our costume attire. Please help!
  
  Answer:-Draw them or find a pic on the internet and just make copies to hand out.
• Question:-Is the publishers clearing house a great website?
  I have been playing the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes and I was wondering if they do pay and do you really win
  
  Answer:-Yes, they pay what they promise, but PCH is so well publicized that there are tons of entrants for every sweepstakes. Your odds of winning are very low. There are thousands of others sweepstakes listed at SweepsAdvantage.com. I go ahead and enter PCH sweeps (you never know!) but I quickly move on to other sweeps that I have a better chance of winning.
• Question:-What is publishers clearing house phone number?
  I got a email and I think its a scam its supposebly publishers clearing house but they used a yahoo email an it said I won a million dollars and it had lucky numbers it asked for my full name age and phone number
  
  Answer:-100% scam, you are correct.
  
  There is no lottery and PCH is aware of scammers trying to use their name to steal money.
  
  There is no PCH, Yahoo, Nokia, Shell, BBC, Google, Coca-Cola, MSN, Microsoft, BMW or any other company in the entire world that sponsors a lottery that notifies winners via email, phone call or text.
  
  There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money.
  
  The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "lottery official" and will demand you pay for made-up fees and taxes, in cash, and only by Western Union or moneygram.
  
  Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
  
  Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.
  
  You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.
  
  Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.
  
  Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.
  
  If you google "fake yahoo lottery", "lotto Western Union fraud" or something similar, you will find hundreds of posts of victims and near-victims of this type of scam.
• Question:-Are the gifts from Publishers Clearing House free?
  I ordered three items from Publishers Clearing House and I received one of them today but I haven't received like a bill or something saying that I have to pay.
  
  Answer:-If you get any sort of bill, return it and just write "Cancel" on the bill.
  
  More than likely, the "free" gifts came with strings attached. You probably signed up for some sort of service that you didn't even realize you signed up for. In fact, if you included any sort of credit card number, you will likely be charged for that service that you didn't know you signed up for.
  
  Look carefully at what is sent. Usually there is a telephone number you need to call in order to cancel whatever you signed up for. If you do everything right, you probably will get to keep the gifts for free.
• Question:-Has anyone ever won any Publishers clearing house giveaways?
  Does anyone know anyone .. or personally won any Publishers clearing house contests??? I mean I always sign up but I havent won anything ... :( And also if you have won.. did u purchase anything?? like from the sponsors??
  they do keep sending me stuff that ends up at my door..at my 2nd floor apt. . and i never paid for anything..nor did i provide a credit card or personal info.. except my address.. which is an apt.
  
  Answer:-It's real but very few people win. They only have to award enough prizes to say they've awarded prizes. According to their website, the chances of winning are 1 in 1.75 billion which makes multi state lotteries like PowerBall and Mega Millions look like a sure thing.
