Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Delaware

Hey everyone, first post here. UDel is the school I want to go to the most because of their ChemE program, location, and general social and academic life. I don’t have any worries about getting into the school, but what are my chances of getting into Honors, potentially Distinguished Scholars?
UW GPA: 3.45
W GPA: 4.6
Courses: All Honors Gifted and AP. (7 AP’s as of senior year, 13 when it is done)
ExtraCurricular: FIRST Robotics, Varsity Tennis and Water Polo, VEX Robotics, French Honors Society, Counselor at Tennis Camp, Summer Scholars program at University of Miami
Test Scores: 31 ACT, only a single 3 on AP Test (Chem), All others 4’s or 5’s
Hispanic Origin, Live in Florida, and am certified in MasterCam, about to get my SolidWorks, and might get AutoCad early next year.

I live in Florida btw. The distinguished scholars grant would be a huge incentive to go to this school. I’m considering studying and retaking the ACT and hopefully getting 34+ to try to make up for my low unweighted. Thoughts? Thank you!

Hm, it doesn’t seem like you have any leadership in your EC’s. Although you have great stats, I think you’ll have a low chance of getting Distinguished Scholars, but you could get into Honors. I am in the same position as you are (applying to colleges too), so I may not be an accurate source.

Just out of curiosity, does your school weigh your GPA differently? There seems to be a pretty big difference between your UW GPA and W GPA. Anyways, good luck!!

I couldn’t explain the GPA gap if I tried honestly. I did get accepted into honors though. Waiting for Discho letters to see if I can hopefully get more money.
