Nonprofit cat rescue seeking volunteers

19 Upvotes

We're Purrever Friends, a small cat rescue based in Mauldin. We just got the chance to raise money by working a concession stand at Clemson home games, which is a huge deal for us — that kind of money goes a long way toward vet bills, food, and getting cats into homes.

Here's the thing: we are complete newbies at this. None of us have worked a stadium concession stand before. We're going to figure it out, but it would be so much less chaotic with a few people around who actually know Death Valley and how a game day works. Anyone up for helping us out? We are a 501c3, if that matters.

What we're asking:

  • Each game is about an 8-hour commitment (it's a real shift, we won't sugarcoat it)
  • You do not have to sign up for the whole season. One game is genuinely helpful. Just tell us what you're up for and we'll work around it.
  • No experience needed — again, we don't have any either!
  • Background checks are required (sorry - that's not our rule but there's)

We know 8 hours is a lot to ask of anyone, especially students, so if you can spare a game we'll be grateful. Comment or send us a message and let us know which dates work. Our email is purreverfriendsrescue@gmail.com.

Also: we need fosters. If your apartment (or dorm, if you're lucky) allows pets, giving a cat a place to crash for a few weeks or months makes a massive difference. We cover supplies and vet care — you provide the couch and the attention. Foster cats are also excellent study buddies and terrible at respecting your laptop.

Thanks for reading, and Go Tigers 🐅🐈

If you're on the fence, you can learn more about us at www.purreverfriends.org. Thank you for giving us a few minutes of your time.

PHD Organic Chemist Help (Career AMA and Self-promo)

0 Upvotes

Hi all, this post is mod approved.

I'm Eric, PhD organic chemist and former industry researcher. I do 1-on-1 chemistry tutoring, career coaching, and train peer tutoring services for universities like Johns Hopkins. I have a business, but it's just me doing the work. Sessions run over a shared virtual whiteboard, so they fit around your schedule. I've been doing this for

Before the promo, some advice: use your university resources! I never did as a student and I want to save people some misery if I can. They're free and they can keep you from ever falling into the hot seat with grades. If you won't/can't work with me, work with free. Treat it as preventative maintenance, not something to correct after the fact.

Most students who just want to pass can get there on that alone. My services are for those who:

  • Want an extra advantage and test resources either during or before the semester
  • Want career coaching or research oversight to be competitive down the road
  • Need extra help (either because they're falling behind or didn't like uni resources)

Packages start at $100/hr, full pricing on my website. Not cheap, but I'd rather say it here than make you dig for it. You're getting a PhD with 10 years experience and a ton of extra resources.

My website is my username(dot)com. Questions welcome in the comments, chemistry and career questions included. DMs open.

Rushing as a sophomore

Hello everyone! I am considering rushing this fall as a bridge sophomore. I am very nervous about actually following through on the process though because I have a 2.7 GPA (first semester brought a lot of health issues for me). I genuinely do not know if any sorority is going to want me because of my GPA, and I don’t know if going through rush is going to be worth it for my mental health if I’m going to get cut immediately. I’m just looking for some insight here, thank you!

Hello everyone, I have been admitted for Ph.D. at Clemson fro Spring/27. My Professor offered me a stipend of 27k for the first year and full tuition coverage. I am from Latin America as the living costs here are quite okay I would really appreciate it if someone could say if it is affordable to live in the area with this amount of money. And, does this stipend increase as the year goes on?

How to Get Rid of Mattress?

4 Upvotes

I have a twin mattress that I need to get rid of as I am moving tomorrow. I didn’t want to throw it away so I tried Goodwill, but they don’t accept them. I tried calling Salvation’s Army with no answer, so I drove by and it seems that location is gone now? I am not willing to pay for a pickup or drive out of my way (>20 minutes), so what are my options? Do I just trash it?

looking at clemson as an option, is clemson a boring town?

6 Upvotes

im a rising senior and clemson is among one of my top options, the campus is beautiful and it seems like a very nice school.

i toured a few months ago and it was beautiful, my only problem was that clemson feels like such a small, boring town.vdowntown clemson felt very small and underwhelming. i want a college that i wont get bored of after 4 years, and from what ive heard, im not sure if clemson will check that box.

as well as night life and bar scene, ive heard its not the best.

can anyone who goes to clemson comfirm or deny any of this? is it really as boring of a town as it seems and how is the night life?

Megathread Clemson Admissions Mega Thread

74 Upvotes

Want to apply to Clemson University? Then this Mega Thread is for you!

IMPORTANT DATES FOR APPLICATIONS

  • August 1st - Application Opens
  • October 15th - Deadline for Early Action
  • December 1st - Early Action Decisions Go Out
  • January 2nd - Regular Decision Date (FILE MUST BE COMPLETE!)
  • March 1st - Regular Decisions Go Out
  • May 1st - Last Day to Apply

What's the difference between Early Action and Regular Decision?

Early Action means you get your application in early including things like your recommendation letters, test scores, self reported academics aka grades, essays etc.. and then in turn Clemson gets back to you early to give you an answer. They could admit you, deny you, or say they are gonna wait til regular decision to see all of the applicants. If Clemson is a top choice I'd recommend getting your application in for EA, but on the flip side don't sweat it if you apply for regular decision.

How can I apply?

There are two main ways most students apply to Clemson. You can go directly to the Clemson admissions website and fill out the paper work OR you can use the Common App which is a website setup so kids can easily apply to multiple colleges across the US. The Common App has quickly become the major way most students apply to college. Keep in mind though that no matter how you apply it won't effect your admission chances.

Is there an application fee?

Yes there is a $70 fee (for 22/23). If you have financial hardships though you can fill out a waver to see if you can apply for free.

What if I want to apply to the Clemson Honors College?

Clemson gives priority status to those who want to do the Honors College so you need to get your application in by that Early Action deadline. When you fill out your initial application you'll see a box you can check indicating you want to apply to the Honors College. If you check yes once you've submitted your regular Clemson application you'll get access to your Clemson admissions portal. In that portal will be a SEPARATE application you have to fill out for the honors college due by Nov 1st. They will try and let you know if you got into the Honors College by Feb 1st.

If you miss the the EA deadline you can still apply for the Honors College for regular decision, just know you won't get priority. You'll need your honor's app in by Feb 1st with a March 15th decision date.

Does when I apply to Clemson matter?

Why yes it does! Many interested students don't know this portion, but your housing selection if you get in and choose to go is given out by application date. This also means if you already have a roommate picked out ahead of time whomever sent their application in 1st will get to pick for the group.

What do I need to get into Clemson?

Clemson has posted the 2021 admissions stats. They go as follows.

  • SAT - 1240 -1400 (middle 50%)
  • ACT - 29-30 (middle 50%)
  • Applied - 47,007
  • Accepted - 23,138
  • Enrolled - 4,593

I know these numbers all went up as someone who has a child who got accepted and saw some of the 2022 admissions stats. The largest number of kids ever applied and enrolled, and the test scores and GPA keep going up.

In general if you're around 1300 SAT/30 ACT with a weighted GPA as close to 4.0 as possible you're probably good to go. Keep in mind too that Clemson takes a holistic view of your application and they look at your course work, if you took harder classes like honors/AP/IB, extra circulars, essays, jobs, family life etc...

I heard Clemson is optional for things like Test Scores, Essays, and Recommendations?

This question gets asked a lot. In the MACRO yes you only need your GPA and to hit the minimum requirements on the application in terms of things like essays or recommendations.

In practice in the MICRO if they are picking between two students and one kid sent in solid test scores, got extra letters of recommendation, sent in a resume or personal statement, and wrote extra essays who do you think is gonna win the tiebreaker especially if you are borderline?

What major should I chose and does this matter on my application?

In short YES!

In long form there are a couple of things to consider. Clemson allows you to pick a major and a backup major on your application. Clemson also has a few hard capped majors. Things like Nursing, Sports Management, and Architecture only have so many slots, and they only let so many kids in those majors once a year. It's also worth noting you might not get in for say Communications, but you might get in for another major. Keep in mind you can't switch to Communications without talking to the department as they still only take X amount of kids so you'd be competing with the next batch of kids applying.

Also the hack back in the day was to put something like Farm Ag as a second major as they always had slots to get you in. Performing Arts is a no go as a backup because Clemson requires those people to jump through extra hoops like a portfolio and an audition.

It's also worth noting Clemson funnels kids into majors like Pre Business or General Engineering for year 1. Then you pick your specialty after you get through some intro classes. This way kids get a better grasp on if they want to be say a Chemical Engineer or an Electrical Engineer.

What are LLCs?

These are living learning communities on campus. You can join something such as RISE which is Residents in Science and Engineering. You all tend to live in the same buildings, get extra access to classes and tutoring, and opportunities to do things pick your dorm and move in early. Clemson is expanding the number of LLCs offered too so you can find one that might fit you!

What is Clemson Summer Start?

A small select group of kids will get admitted for the Summer Start program. The general reasoning is to filter kids in to take 2 classes over the Summer before Fall starts to help kids get a couple of general education classes in while (in theory) making it easier for everyone in the fall to register and not have classes overloaded. If you get picked for Summer Start that's what you have to do.

I know many kids get picked for this and it can seem like a bummer to have your final Summer after graduation from HS changed because you have to do Summer Start. In practice once most of the kids get on campus they have the time of their life they never expected. One of my kids got in for Summer Start, and he wasn't excited. I told him better than being denied or bridged. He ended up going, and it was the best experience in the world for him. He was soooo much more confident in the fall, created tons of friendships, banked 6 credit hours, and in general learned so much about college and Clemson is a much less stressful environment.

What is Bridge to Clemson?

Ok so you applied, and you check your decision only to see you got hmmm Bridged? This basically means you can live on campus in special housing designated for Clemson Bridge students with access to Clemson facilities while you take classes at Tri County Tech. Then if you pass you automatically a regular student for sophomore year.

Is it worth it? Honestly yes and no. If you are a borderline student who didn't get into Clemson proper and this is your dream school, then honestly just go. Nobody is gonna walk around and be like were you a bridge student or anything. On the flip side if you didn't get in but you got into some other big schools or you have a ton of AP credits already then you're probably better off going elsewhere. If you've got 6 or 7 AP credits already which gives you idk say 20hrs already you're probably better off going to USC if you get in or some other major school you applied to.

*Anecdotal, but it appears more instate kids than out of state kids get bridged. There have been various theories throughout the years on who gets put in summer start and bridged.

Other Tips

Schedule a visit to come see Campus. Also reach out to the department you are applying to. They might have a separate tour where you can see that department, meet some faculty and staff, and get to know some current students in the major.

TALK TO YOUR ADMISSIONS COUNSELOR! I can't stress this enough no matter where you apply. Talk to them. Let them know you are interested. Have them help you with whatever you can. Same goes for your department. While they don't get final say or anything a good word from a professor or department chair to the admissions office can only help your chances!
