Hi - We had the exact same issue (took high school foreign language in 7/8/9 and similar stats) and they have since offered admission (to Honors College too). I sent an email, had the guidance counselor send an email and signed up for a Zoom call with the Admissions Director for our state. It was very frustrating but they don’t get many kids from our state and were not aware of the early enrollment to high school program that my kid attended.
Hope that helps.
Ugh so sorry to hear that, your son is surely an awesome student. They do state on their admissions page that they don’t accept middle school foreign language courses. University of Pittsburgh also doesn’t accept middle school credit for any subject and it certainly seems unfair. I hope you can work it out with admissions.
Does anyone know when Honors College admissions are coming out? Someone I know called and they said first week of January, but I’ve heard nothing yet.
They’ve been rolling out weekly. EA applicants should have an answer by February 15th.
Go to your admissions portal and see if you have an update for today. People have theorized that if you have an “update” with a Friday date earlier in the week that you might get a decision that week. They release after hours. We are patiently waiting too.
Update- D was accepted to honors and the hack seemed to work. Notice of letter update with future date. Didn’t see letter until after 5 pm
When do they typically release nursing decisions? Is it later than other decisions? Son applied EA back in August.
Just saw that he was admitted to his second choice, Environmental Studies, and since he has 10 other direct admit nursing offers with merit money, most likely will not be attending UDel. Oh well. Not exactly a decline, but pretty much so.
Daughter just heard got into honors college. 
Just got letter today dated January 7 with official offer of 17k per year merit money
just got in!! waiting to hear back from honors college <3
D received her official letter as well of 15k per year merit.
Applied RD on 12/30 (OOS from CA). Received an update in my portal requesting mid year grades - none of my other public schools have asked and I’m worried because of the fast turnaround. Stats on midyear are 3.0 GPA and 34 ACT. What does this mean?
Did your daughter get a merit notification in the portal when her acceptance came through? Mine did but only 2k/yr ugh. Just wondering if something better will come in the regular mail with a letter. This is all new to me.
It looks like UD is focusing on GPA over test scores this year (at least based on merit scholarships).
Yes she had gotten notification ofmerit award on portal before snail mail letter
Lucky you. She received merit with acceptance too but 2k/yr seems ridiculous. We are OOS and her stats are high so 8k in total doesn’t help much.
How does honor work at UDel?
I’m not convinced that it’s just GPA U Del is looking at when it comes to merit awards this year, unless they are recalculating it in a very unique way. My kid is fabulous (I’m completely unbiased of course) 
but they are not a 4.0 student and received an honors invite and 17k/year. Perhaps it’s that we’re OOS, or that the recommendations or essays were strong? I suspect we’ll never really know for sure what the ‘secret sauce’ is.
We are OOS, 4.2W, 3.8UW, higher gpa than her sister who got $17,000, same teachers wrote references, essay was better. She’s been getting the top amounts from similar public OOS schools, just like her sister. Her major is actuarial science, a more male dominated course of study.
@Mjkacmom, that does sound strange. This is my oldest kid so I’m not really that familiar with how it works, but can you call the University and ask? (I’m not sure if this is frowned upon.) It sounds like your daughter is a strong student and has a lot of good options. I hope she has a great experience wherever she decides to go. 
My daughter will contact them once she gets all of her acceptances. It’s probably me who wants her to go there with her sister. Her twin applied but his WGPA is only 3.8. So far Temple and UMASS are cheaper, waiting on Clemson merit (said there would be merit), Pitt merit, Rutgers merit, and acceptance information from UCONN, UMD, Elon, Tulane, a SUNY and maybe a few more.
