Did anyone hear tonight?
My daughter was accepted a few weeks ago, no word on Honors College yet but she got $17 K a year in merit. From Mo Co MD, 4.0 UW, 4.65 W, 1420 SAT, 9 APs (all 5s one 4).
My son heard just about an hour ago. Accepted.
OOS, Art & Sciences, our school has a weird 5.2 GPA scale so we didnāt enter, Did not submit test scores. Very strong course load this year - 5 APs, 1 Honors. 2 sports.
We applied 11/1 but didnāt complete the additional essays until 11/15.

Same questions as NJcollege2021. How did you appeal? Through email or phone and what information did you need to appeal? Thank you!
If i recall, it was 2 years ago, my daughter already committed I think then There was a appeal link under UD finances and in it I wrote how other schools gave more and her top choice was Delaware and her GPA should of been awarded the higher merit, If they canāt give more that would be the deciding reason to pull her out and decline offer. Iām pretty sure you need to accept first bur I donāt remember so I will call Jan 4th to find out
D accepted 11/4, got 10K Destination Delaware scholarship. Havenāt heard about honors. 4.0 unweighted, 4.7 weighted GPA, 1390 SAT
My D21 had 35ACT and 4GPA UW with about 8-1o AP classes before this year. Applied to nursing.
Honors and world scholars just showed up on portal
They recalculate your gpa? What sense does that make? Do they share this magical gpa calculator? I didnāt work hard in HS for them to call my 3.7 a 3.5 and snub me $3,000-$4,000. I donāt understand their process and/or why it is not clearly expressed how they read my transcript and decided my grades were lower?

Not sure is it first time they are doing this recalculate GPA?
Not sure, Iāve seen it posted by others, to my knowledge this is the first time because they arenāt taking the SAT/ACT into consideration for merit scholarships
My sons merit letter said based on āthe academic information we currently haveā. So I am not sure what they used for his scholarship but we are OOS and he received 19k which is more then I thought he was going to get.
Nice congrats !! Whatās your stats ?
