Merit is released 2 weeks after you receive a decision
I didnât apply for honors but I wish I did, i kinda regret not trying
Ok, thank you, my son has similar stats, just wondering what his chances areâŠ
Any Merit information yet?
no problem. good luck to him! When i went they said honors program SAT was 1380-1440, so i didnât think i would get in.
Heâs on the borderline, 29 ACT composite, 30 superscore, but as I understand it UD only superstores the SAT.
If I am reading the Delaware website right there are two types of merit awards available to students accepted into the honors program: 1) merit scholarships that seem primarily tied to specific SAT scores and 2) Distinguished scholar awards that students are contacted about in February. Does anyone know if the later requires an application/essays? And do the regular merit scholarship amounts get confirmed earlier?
@NJMom18 - I followed last yearâs threads. Regular merit notification comes out before Distinguished Scholars weekend invite notification. I think your general application is used as the basis for that invite. I believe @burghdad had a D18 receive an invite and award. Hopefully he can chime in with greater insight.
Admitted!!

@38jones - My daughter was accepted more than 2 weeks ago and still no information on merit.

Quick question- does anyone know about UDelâs world scholars program? I was accepted to the University of Delaware on 11/9 and my portal just updated to say that Iâve been selected as a candidate for this program. What does it mean to be selected as a candidate and is this program recommended?
My daughter got the invitation as well. She received an email that explained it - check your email if you havenât, it tells you about it. Here is the paragraph that explains what it is: What is the World Scholars Program?
World Scholars is a four-year program for internationalizing your major and it starts the first semester of your first year. As a World Scholar, youâll begin your college career in Greece, Italy, Spain or New Zealand. Youâll spend your first semester exploring a new country and studying at a university selected for its academics, small class sizes and professors who use the cityâAthens, Rome, Madrid or Aucklandâas a site for active learning.
After your first semester abroad, youâll arrive in Delaware and jump right into UD campus life. From there, your global engagement continues, both on-campus and abroad, including a second study abroad experience your junior year. Senior year, Scholars network with global professionals, apply for Fulbright awards and participate in a spring symposium.
Do we think theyâll release decisions this Friday even though itâs a holiday weekend?
@College2001 - not sure but S19âs major disappeared! Wondering if they will release some decisions early this week due to the holiday? So exciting!!!
Iâm wondering about this week too. If anything, I think it would be early in the weekâŠ
