Looking back on this thread it looks like one applicant from MA was accepted on Jan 15. I suspect we shall soon be seeing a lot more acceptances going out, but it is torture to be still waiting. Good luck. </p>
<p>mom2two this whole system is a mess I SAID IT B4 ILL SAY IT AGAIN I see no REAL system in place i have no idea what they are doing :-/ </p>
<p>thanks for the responses. I guess we just need to continue to check the portal and mail daily. Good Luck to all.</p>
<p>We have received the acceptance in the mail, and the center part of the portal has the “congratulations” message. But the blue box on the right hand side of the portal says “Decision: Your application is under review”. Definitely hard to figure out their system!</p>
<p>Jberav: what state do you reside? trying to figure out if notification process is by region.</p>
<p>I don’t think you will find a reliable pattern by region for OOS admission notification. OOS acceptances have been noted on this thread for students from NY, NJ, PA, MD, CT, MA (1). On the other hand, based again on posts noted on this thread, it appears to me that a relatively high frequency of acceptances have been for the honors program, for the engineering major, and for students receiving a reasonably decent amount of financial aid. It is interesting to me that very few acceptances have been announced on this thread for the category of general studies/undeclared (which makes up the largest overall numerical percentage of students in the freshman class). Perhaps this is just a coincidence, but who knows. Just my thoughts. Good luck to those still waiting to hear. </p>
<p>We are in Delaware. No honors/merit. Major is Elementary Teacher Education. I think she got in mainly because we are in state. GPA and extracurricular activities were good. Test scores were only average (bad compared to the rest of CC!)</p>
<p>well it’s gonna be another long icy walk to the mailbox again today! lol! all in good spirit but the wait is killing me… at least with the March 15th deadline of years gone by I knew when it would be coming. oh…and my son has now changed his attitude to U Del being in his top two… so of course I want to know soon. 
</p>
<p>goodluck lefty1</p>

<p>Just got the email saying D has been accepted, and the portal will be updated with all the info tomorrow. So no idea if we got any merit but D is very happy to have been accepted.
We are in MA and she was also accepted to UPitt and deferred from Tulane. </p>
<p>Did anybody else get this email? Ive seen so many different ways to notify applicants on this site but my son just got this and this seems like yet another way? </p>
<p>Dear_________

Congratulations! Within the next week, you will be receiving official notice of your admission to the University of Delaware. The details of your admission, including the major to which you were admitted, can be found on your personal portal, My Blue Hen Home, starting tomorrow.</p>
<p>Your admission packet will include additional details about your admission and the new opportunities that are open to you as an official invited member of the Class of 2018. Please accept my sincere congratulations on this accomplishment, and I look forward to welcoming you to the University of Delaware.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Dr. Jose Aviles
Director of Admission</p>
<p>I know that last year they did initially notify some applicants of acceptance via email. I don’t know if the wording was exactly the same. Congratulations.</p>
<p>I got that as well, congrats!</p>
<p>I love one of those letters right about now! lol! Another acceptance in my town today… although I’m thrilled for them… it certainly raises the neves and anticipation in our home. </p>
<p>It just seems odd that they would send this email saying that your acceptance is coming rather than simply an email saying congratulations you have been admitted! </p>
<p>My D also received this email. We are very excited. I am wondering if they will let you know any merit awards. I will see tomorrow … another sleepless night.</p>
<p>My D also received the email yesterday. She was very excited. OOS- MA Hopefully portal will be updated, she will let me know.</p>
<p>D also got this email yesterday. Portal not yet updated and we too are in MA. </p>
<p>D also got the email . We are from RI.</p>
