<p>so sorry for your S this whole thing takes a toll on everyone god bless your son and may he find happiness where ever he goes I’m sure he will be happy in the end </p>
<p>@maxthedogsmom - I am so sorry. I know how you must have felt your heart physically drop. Thank you for having the courage to post status. That’s surely not an easy thing to do.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I just wish they would have done this weeks ago instead of dragging on. He never got any emails or requests for mid-term grades like some of you posted, but I was still hopeful.</p>
<p>@maxthedogsmom. I agree. We received a rejection from another school - and some wait-listed, but they did come early. </p>
<p>@maxthedogsmom, so sorry that your son didn’t get in. I’m sure this just means he is destined for better things! All the best to your S and you too!</p>
<p>@doubledel- I have been away-it’s been a nice distraction but I went on to my sons portal and he was accepted. University studies, not the business school as I had suspected. Now the decision process will begin. </p>
<p>@maxthedogsmom, I’m so sorry to hear about your son, I feel like we have been in this together for a long time now. Like the others said, bigger and better. The school that’s best for your son will be the school he attends. Best of luck to you both. </p>
<p>@maxthedogsmom I am sorry to hear about your son! For weeks I have been giving my D the speech about how she will be happy and successful no matter where she ends up going and that she will find friends at any school, and how it is their loss if you get rejected etc… it wasn’t meant to be and onto bigger and better. And there is always the transfer option. A friend last year had BOTH twin sons transfer and they both ended up where they originally wanted. Hang in there!!</p>
<p>Checked the portal early this morning expected to see the same thing I have been seeing for 16 weeks but SHE GOT ACCEPTED!! I woke her up to tell her and she thought she was dreaming! Undeclared. Thanks to everyone for the posts that I have been reading for weeks and finally decided to post myself…Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear! And don’t be discouraged because my D was convinced it was going to be a rejection because it took a long time and it wasn’t!</p>
<p>Looks like they did a major portal update just yesterday. My son’s acceptance letter was dated back on 2/19/14 but they just updated the portal this morning to accepted.(also undeclared) Best of luck to those still waiting to get a decision!!!</p>
<p>My son has been accepted and my question is - if we send in deposit, does this have any effect on whether he gets merit $ or not? does UD look at it “oh he’s already going we don’t need to give him $”? thanks</p>
<p>The simple answer to your question is “no”. In fact there is no advantage to sending in your deposit before May 1. FYI you don’t receive any type of priority housing or anything else if you send it in earlier. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how many spots are in the Biomedical Engineering Program?</p>
<p>@ratchg there are 50 spots per year in the BME program.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many spots are in the Hospitality Management Program?</p>
<p>My son is a sophomore in the Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management (HRIM) program. We were told they take 80-100 students a year. </p>
<p>Is there any benefit to sending in a deposit early? (better rooms??)</p>
<p>@lefty1 @pgddad @iwanttoscream Congrats! Woo Hoo! Best to all of you and your S’s and D’s. We’re still waiting. application still “under review”.</p>
<p>NJmom69 My understanding of the housing process at UD is that there is no advantage in sending in the deposit early as housing is a complete “luck of the draw” for Freshman with no preference for when your deposit is received. This differs from many other schools my son has applied to in which when you pick your room is determined by when you make your hosing deposit.(WVU and Alabama come to mind)</p>
<p>Hi,
Still waiting for a decision for my daughter. But I really laughed when I saw this on CNN today - regarding the teen suing her parents to pay for her college and other expenses after she left home:
The teen wrote in her court certification that she aspires to be a biomedical engineer. Her first choice for college is the University of Delaware, from which she has yet to hear back from regarding her admission decision.</p>
