<li>Are you a Delaware Resident or OOS?</li>
<li>Are you applying for a specific major or undecided?</li>
</ol>
<p>I’m apply OOS and I’m looking into the Education college. Is there a higher/lower chance if you apply Undeclared?</p>
<p>For an OOS applicant your stats and other data are good except for your overall GPA, which is somewhat on the low side for OOS applicants. Your GPA appears to be somewhat incongruous with your successes with the AP exams. If you have had some reason (personal, medical, etc) which has had a negative impact on your ability to obtain better grades please make UD aware of it in your application. UD now requires the Common Application for all applicants along with a Delaware Supplement. In this Supplement there is a section (#9) where you can write an explanation if you have had specific problems/circumstances which have interferred with your abilities to obtain better grades.</p>
<p>If you are interested in being an Education major you probably should apply for this major. You can list undecided as a second choice in the application. It is debatable if applying undecided would increase your overall chances of admission as compared to just applying for Education. This would not be the case for certain other majors (i.e. chem engineering, nursing, and at least a few others). However, I would not apply undecided with the intent of being able to transfer into these majors as very, very few students are able to transfer into these more select majors. </p>
<p>You can maximize your chances of being accepted if you take a full course load (5) during both semesters of your Sr. year of HS (Courses should all be college prep, honors, or AP in major subject areas). Obviously try and do as well as possible in your first semester of your Sr. year and make sure the grades are sent to UD as soon as they are available. Best of luck to you in your quest for acceptance to UD</p>
<p>I think it’s a reach for you.</p>
<p>I agree with zoosermom, this school is a reach, both your gpa and SAT’s are on the low side. I have friends with better stats that were rejected last year.</p>
<p>Did you try the ACT? Might get you a better standardized test score…</p>
<p>What state are you from? Particularly hard to get in from NJ…</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
