I called Clemson yesterday to check on my application status, since I hadn't heard from them in a while. They had sent a few post cards, giving updates whenever they received a transcript, and each said "Nothing received" for 2005-2009--when I wasn't in school, but was working full time. I stupidly assumed they didn't really need for me to account for all dates from the time I graduated high school until now, but apparently they do.
So this whole time (I applied in early January), my application has been incomplete, and it's just been sitting at Clemson, likely not even glanced at. Even in January, I knew my application was a bit later than most motivated students, but it was still early. Now it's March, and other students who have had completed applications have been accepted and I'm sitting here with an incomplete application... which may affect my acceptance. On that note, it would be wildly helpful if Clemson actually had an online status checking system. If I hadn't called, I would never have known.
GAH. I'm kicking myself for not checking on this sooner.
