<p>still no word via portal 
anyone else?</p>
<p>I emailed UD and they gave me the same answer that everyone has been getting âyou are at the very end of the process!â I hope the rest of us find out soon.</p>
<p>Sugarski, congrats to your D. Make sure the grant that she received is for all four years, some are not!</p>
<p>@Emily96 who exactly did you email? My D has emailed and has not gotten a response from anyone??</p>
<p>well for everyones info i called today and was told it could be as long as april 1 if someone else would like to call and possibly get somewhere please be my guest because Iâm about to have a breakdown if we have waited 5 plus month for a rejection i donât think ACTUALLY i know I CANT TAKE IT AND MY POOR D I donât know what she will do at this point </p>
<p>@grk4459 I emailed admission at <a href=âmailto:admissions@udel.eduâ>admissions@udel.edu</a>. </p>
<p>@miesha5âŠdoes your D have other choices that she could be ok with? </p>
<p>@Emily96 Same! </p>
<p>I have refrained from posting this because of all the stress applicants are under who have not heard from UD already and I was hopeful that UD would make some changes with the newly identified admissionâs procedure. However I do want to make people aware that under the old system UD did not send out all the acceptances at one time and in fact some applicants did not receive notification of acceptances until the last week in March. It did appear that it did not extend beyond March 31 except for students who were beginning to be accepted off the wait list. Having viewed this process over the last 4 years I do not believe that UD currently has a pile of rejection notices that they are just letting sit there. So IMHO if you have not as yet received a rejection notice you probably are still in the running for acceptance or possibly placement on the wait list. I have not as yet heard of anyone receiving an offer of placement on the wait list. So this might be another possibility. As I noted in a past post you should keep in mind that the wait list is not ranked (except it probably is broken down by major applied to) so it is first-come first served. So if you are still interested in pursuing admission after receiving a wait list offer I would recommend accepting the placement ASAP (like the same day). In the past UD has generally accepted a decent number of people off the wait list (it obviously varies by year). I even know of one person who was accepted into Nursing (one of the most highly competitive majors for admission) off the wait list. I am just trying to be helpful. Good luck to all those still waiting.</p>
<p>nope just got rejected today from uconn and also in january from maryland its basically her sat sheâs got a 92 gpa NHS MADE HIGH HONOR ROLL SINCE 7 GRADE captain of her jv and varsity leadership award 100s of community service on so on and so on but her sat was just under 1800 and apparently thats the holdup she did get into RUTGERS and will go there but she doesnât get that warm and fuzzy feeling what are we gonna do canât do anything oh and she was deferred from Marist so we find out april 1 </p>
<p>@miesha5 I agree with you! At this point, this is ridiculous! What could possibly be the delay? I would think after 5 monthsâŠthey should know whether they want our children at their school. This is really putting a bad taste in my mouth about the University of Delaware! </p>
<p>Thank you @Mwallenmd you have been so helpful since the very beginning with so much information I know I deeply thank you </p>
<p>@miesha5 so sorry that this hasnât gone in her favor so far. Very upsetting I am sure. It is never easy to watch our kids go thru this sort of stress. While it is hard to believe this now, she will find her place and the right place will find her. While I agree this process appears to be confusing and leads one to believe UD isnât organized, we donât really know what is going on in admissions. Of course access to all this social media doesnât help as it provides insight from people all over that we might not otherwise had access to. I think the one mistake UD made was giving people a false hope that this would be resolved in an 8-12 week process. With hindsight it would have been better to just give a âyou will hear by April 1 dateâ and those that hear earlier lucky them and those that donât shouldnât have expected anything other than by April 1. I am sure they will learn some lessons from this. Process not perfect, process not easy, but UD is a wonderful school along with the other thousands of schools out there and I can assure you UD is not the only one to struggle trying to make the admissions process easier. If this doesnât work out in your daughterâs favor I assure you he will find her place and she will look back on this and wonder why she wanted to go anywhere else other than where she ends up. If she doesnât feel that way a year from now she can always transfer, while not ideal, it is an option. Your role is to be supportive and to tell her that this does not define her. A rejection does not mean she is not worthy. Schools have to make tough choices and in many cases they do weed out those that are deserving as the next. Help her keep her chin up and help her find a diversion. Daughters are so different, as I know going thru this with my first who was a daughter. I am now in the process with my S and the emotional side doesnât even factor into it. Frustrates me on another level, but I guess I shouldnât complain. Hard being a parentâŠno one tells you 18 years ago that this is so emotionally exhausting.</p>
<p>Keeping fingers crossed for your D and when that acceptance comes in boy do you need to celebrate!!</p>
<p>Thank You Thank You Thank You HONESTLY I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IF I DIDNT HAVE ALL OF YOU HERE YOU HAVE ALL BEEN SUCH GOOD PEOPLE GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU :x </p>
<p>miesha5;
I thought you might find this amusing. We are NJ residents but our D choose to attend UD rather than Rutgers. On freshman move in day I was walking with our D and a number of her new roommates. They were not from NJ. They were all talking about where they all had been accepted for admission and they all were highly amazed when our D told them that she choose to come to UD rather than to attend Rutgers. I guess its just a matter of perspective. I really hope your D also gets to make this choice.</p>
<p>@mieshsa5 with all those wonderful accomplishments your daughter has achieved, it will be the schools loss for basing admittance on a set of test scores!!! Whichever school she decides to attend will be very lucky to have such a wonderful young lady.</p>
<p>I would be very careful about thinking it is all about test scores or any one particular thing. My S has horrible test scores but when explained why and in context of everything else, they saw something. I really believe it is never just one thing that makes a school reject and/or accept someone. I can only imagine how difficult the process is for them as well to sift thru 20,000 applications finding the right mix of people for the school. Do they always nail it, probably not and in many cases I am sure they turn down some really great candidates. There are many reasons beyond the obvious that someone is accepted/rejected. You will drive yourself crazy wondering what the perfect formula is as you will never really know what goes on behind their closed doors.</p>
<p>Hi stressedx3, and thank you! I did check the terms of her FA on the website and the grant is, indeed, renewable, so thatâs one less thing to worry about. I appreciate your mentioning it! :)</p>
<p>@dogsrthebest, you bring up a very good point!! Who knows what they are thinking! My heart just breaks for anyone who is still waiting to hear. Factors such as their essay and recommendation letters could have an impact. We will never know. Iâm keeping my fingers crossed that everyone receives positive news soon!</p>
<p>Btw, my Dâs test scores werenât that great either! </p>
