<p>My S applied to Undergraduate Studies in October. Good luck to all of you still waiting. I learned a lot here. Hopefully things will go more smoothly with S #2 in 3 years! </p>
<p>I haven’t seen much activity on here since Monday…It looks like a lot decisions have been made. Yesterday my D heard from the Deputy Dean of Admissions regarding her request to be reconsidered under another major. The answer was somewhat vague, but fell into the ‘No’ category. He said they are not reconsidering decisions at this “point”! It’s OK, she is very excited about the school she choose and happy that she can move forward and put the waiting behind her. I want to wish good luck to all those who got accepted to UD…it’s a great school! My older D is a 2008 UD graduate and loved every minute of it. She made wonderful friends, got a great education and landed a fantastic job in NYC, along with a new apartment in Manhattan! Best wishes to all ~ </p>
<p>@miesha - still thinking of you. What is latest status on waitlist?</p>
<p>hi thanks @Double Del nothing yet she’s getting a little stir crazy all her friends are making new friends at nso and online and picking roommates she feels a little left out she started talking to some kids from another school I think she thinks its just not going to work out but I’m staying out of it we are leaving tomorrow for disney she is playing in a tournament with her varsity team there for 9 days so that should keep her busy hope all is well with you and everyone out there </p>
<p>@miesha5 enjoy Disney… my most favorite place on earth. Tell your daughter not to stress…it WILL happen… I just know it! The kids will get a chance to meet other kids at NSO in the summer. Other than that it’s really just internet stuff. Even at Decision Days that is more tailored for your family and making that decision. That doesn’t really include other people outside your family. My D was accepted and didn’t decide until end of April she would attend UD. She didn’t chose a room mate until mid June. She was still early! Many kids go to NSO in the summer and meet people there and decide that’s who they want to room with. Tell her not to feel left out of anything the game hasn’t even really begun yet. Have a great time at WDW and forget all about this stuff for a few days! 
</p>
<p>Agree @lefty1 for @miesha. Kids can’t even begin roommate/housing process as of yet - they can pay admission fee but not register for housing or roommate. Keep the faith!</p>
<p>Have to share with my friends on here! My son told me tonight he has officially decided to attend UD! whoo hooo! </p>
<p>Congrats! Mine is still deciding. Should know more after we visit campus for Decision Day on 4/19!</p>
<p>Congrats as well lefty1. Is your son still hoping to transfer into the Business School in the future? If so he has set up somewhat of a challenge for himself come freshman year. At least he will have his sister around to get some advice/pointers. Best wishes to both your son and daughter.</p>
<p>Thanks @Mwallenmd! Yes as of now that is his plan. He understands the challenges but feels he is up to the task. When I asked him why he wants UD over St Joes and Rowan he just simply said… “I like it more here” As of now business is the route he has chosen based on lack of other ideas… Perhaps with some of the guidance from the University Studies Program he will find something even more fulfilling for him. He is learning through seeing his sister and her successes. As cliche as it sounds he needs to really learn to be his own advocate at the school and seek out the help of his professors and advisors. Of course this applies to all colleges not just UD. Seeing how engaged my D is with her professors and advisors and all the doors it has opened is amazing. There are tons of resources available at the school if he needs helps in his studies. He needs to use them but if he does I know he will be fine. </p>
<p>Does anyone know when we could hear about wait list status? I know portal says 5/1 but,
Thought I would ask & tried looking up past years. I guess we’ll have to put a deposit somewhere
with the hopes of hearing from UD. Son sent an email to undergrad admissions expressing interest,
should he do anything else? I’m afraid he’s had it with this and senior mode has set in :(</p>
<p>maggie3 - May 1 is the decision deadline; after that date the university will know how many admitted students have accepted the offer of admission and how many have declined it. Once they know that, they will know how many people they can take off of the wait list. You do need to pay the deposit at another school and, if your son gets off of the wait list at U Del you will lose that deposit and have to pay another at U Del.</p>
<p>Maggie3;
In past years UD did begin to accept some students off the waitlist in April but the majority of students were not notified until after May 1. So unless there is some other reason to do so you might want to delay making a deposit at another college until the last minute. While it is impossible to predict numbers for this year in the past few years UD has accepted 250-600 students off the waitlist so if your son responded immediately after getting the waitlist offer he probably has at least a decent chance of being accepted as the waitlist is not ranked (but is probably broken down by major applied to). As a result of this I am not sure if anything a student can do will increase the chances of being accepted off the waitlist. Students have sent in letters and have had their Guidence Counselors call in late April to reinforce the students interest in attending UD. These things certainly can’t hurt but their degree of helpfulness is probably debatable (I have known students who have done both these things-some were accepted, some were not). I think also the major applied to may also impact ones chances. For highly competitive majors I suspect the odds would be less (but certainly not zero). IMHO the odds would probably be the best for University Studies (based primarily on overall numbers). Good luck. </p>
<p>@Mwallenmd thanks for your response. We will wait last possible minute. I have called
UD myself to ask if changing major would be helpful but, they have not called back. My
S indicated business undeclared 1st choice and Information systems 2nd.
It’s a crazy busy time and this has been a stressful experience with UD, waiting and being strung along.
Several kids from his school were accepted and not going maybe if they rescind it will be helpful.
The wait continues … Thanks for the support :)</p>
<p>Congrats to all, my D made her decision She’s going to be a Blue Hen. </p>
