<p>I was wondering if anyone would be willing to tell me if I have a chance at getting into the University of Delaware...</p>
<p>I am a rising senior planning to apply as an out-of-state student...I am from Rockville, Maryland (right outside of DC). I attend a highly ranked public school which I have been told can be a plus, not so sure though. These are my stats....</p>

<p>Summer '09---I am leaving in a week to build houses in New Orleans, LA. I also work at a local ice cream shop.</p>
<p>Summer '08---I participated in a 3 week volunteer program in Olympic National Park where I worked on trail restoration and development.</p>
<p>Everything is good except the SAT. Try to bring that up 100+ points. The ACT seems to be at about the same ballpark as the SAT based on the conversion charts.</p>
<p>This is one college I do not have a pulse on even though so many kids from our area go there. For instance, one student scored a 1090 on the two parts, about 1600 on all three, GPA was 3.5, okay EC’s and to the family’s surprise got in. Another student I know another student who scored a 1260 on the two parts, 1800 plus on all three, similar GPA from a top HS, excellent EC’s and was rejected (yet got into Maryland, Penn St. etc.) I remember seeing on this website a student with a 1330 on the two parts and got rejected. Yet, another person who got in scored very low on the SAT’s that he won’t reveal his score, had a decent GPA and got in. I don’t think they have a consistent review process…any one find this to be true? Does it have to do with the timing or the indivudal who is reviewing the applicants?</p>
<p>Yes, I think I remember that 1330 who got rejected, he was also rejected by Binghamton (as was my son, with similar SAT scores, but he did get into Delaware, in the honors program). I still do not understand why he got rejected, maybe they really did not like his essay or something like that.</p>
<p>SR - Do some prep and get those SAT/ACT scores up. They are the sole blemish on your record … but they really stand out (in the wrong way). Good luck!</p>
