Delaware Class of 2020 Acceptances

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Delaware
1

As some applicants have begun to receive acceptances I thought it would be a good idea for those accepted to provide (as they feel comfortable in doing) info to those still waiting. I would suggest the following:

  1. When your application was deemed complete
  2. Regular or Honors admission
  3. Major accepted to
  4. SAT/ACT scores, GPA, Class rank
  5. Number of Honors, AP, etc. courses taken in HS.
  6. Merit scholarship amounts (if you feel ok divulging)
  7. Odds of attending UD
  8. Anything else you want to add.

Who is going to be first?

2

My daughter was accepted about 3 weeks ago. Going for speech major.

3

what kind of admission decisions do they have? I applied but I forget what it was. Is it rolling, regular, priority or something else?

  1. Submitted Oct. 15th, date on acceptance letter is Oct. 30th, received update on the portal on Nov. 6th

@mwxg20 As I posted earlier. My daughter was accepted about a month ago. Applied in Sept. for Speech. GPA of 4.0…SAT og 1660. OOS applicant.

UD is her 2nd choice. Still awaiting a decision from her 1st.

@zipbags Oops completely glossed over that, guess I meant following OP’s format. my bad!

No worries…Congrats!

D accepted to Food Science. Application complete around October 27. Gpa 4.0.

Did not see merit in letter. Portal not updated yet. If merit ends up showing in there, UD in running.

3-4 APs, couple of college classes. Usual leadership. Visited school 3x. No interview.

Applied for hobbies but said decision on that will be made in March. No big deal if funny make it in to that.

Hopefully this will help some people out about time frame/stats
Application deemed completed last week in Oct- I dont remember exactly what date. All materials (mine + schools) were in by the first week in October.
Accepted to the Honors Program with $40,000 merit scholarship over the 4 years.
GPA- 97.4, SAT 2200
I didn’t take that many AP’s- 5 total. But every class I took besides these were Honors. I toured the school once. Other than that no connections/hooks/etc. I think I’m a good writer though and my extracurriculars include school leadership, 2 jobs, volunteer work, etc.

UD wasn’t my #1, but I did like it a lot when I visited! Plus honors/money makes it appealing, so it is in the running now.

@laughandlearn23 where was merit posted? In your letter or online?

Ps sorry for all the typos in my last post last paragraph. I meant honors not hobbies, and doesn’t, not funny. Phone texting ugh!

@cakeisgreat Merit was posted online and came in a letter in the mail like a few days or a week after I saw it online.

12

Accepted today, 12/19. Application marked complete 11/10.

  1. When your application was deemed complete: 11/10
  2. Regular or Honors admission: Letter said I'd hear about honors by late March.
  3. Major accepted to: Biochemistry

I was accepted today as well. My letter said that honors would be decided in Marh. How come some people are told whether or not they have been accepted to the honors college and others not? seems strange to me

14

Hi everyone I’m just curious where do you get your decision? Do they email you first or is it just somewhere on the portal? My app was marked complete 11/7 and I see @rumorsareflying got their decision after being marked complete on 11/10, so I’m hoping to get mine soon. Thank you in advance for your help

15

From the looks of it, it seems that the most qualified applicants who applied very early on to Delaware and for Honors are the ones being accepted into the Honors Program now. They probably want to look over all the applications they receive before selecting more-maybe more people applied to the Program this year.

There is no email telling you that the decision is ready, your portal just updates itself and/or a yellow envelope comes in your mailbox.

D accepted into Honors program, Bio major. Out of state, 32 ACT, 4.2 Weighted. she’s pumped!

17

I applied in mid-October and everything was processed by the end of October, but I haven’t heard anything yet from UDel. It’s my top school, so I’m very anxious. I’m applying to nursing which I know if a bit more competitive than some of the other majors and I also did an interview in November, could either of those things affect when I will receive my decision? (I have a 4.3 GPA (weighted), 31 on the ACTs, and have taken 5 APs throughout high school) Now that I’m seeing that so many people have already received decisions I’m getting worried, should I be concerned?

18

Hang in there. Seems like they’re coming out sporadically. My D had her app in Oct 4 and just heard today (portal was updated). About the same stats as you - Bio major.

19

My portal updated today- $1,000 merit scholarship instate. I was a little surprised by how small the scholarship was, but I’m thankful nevertheless. Every little bit helps!

Got my acceptance to UD Honors today. I am an in-state resident and did not receive anything about scholarships with my acceptance letter today. I have a 4.4 GPA, 7 AP classes (All 5’s on the exams thus far) 1400/1600 SAT (2130 total) National Honor Society, Science and Spanish Honor Society and many other awards/activities. I have received amazing money from three other colleges. Is this normal for UD to not give anything? I know students who have gotten at least several thousand a year with far less academic credentials. Any idea why?
