Delaware EA 2026

thanks everyone. somehow I. got rejected! It
makes no sense to me because i’m more qualified than my friends who got in. but I guess it’s meant to be!!

When did you submit application?
Our complete 10/31…

Don’t let this get you down. You’ll have other acceptances that are meant to be.

Im sorry. It is super disappointing. Big hugs.

Sorry:(
The school you are meant for is out there!

Seton Hall is a good school. Would’ve liked D to go there but she wanted nothing to do with an instate college

So sorry. You will end up where you are supposed to. Keep your head up.

I agree with my5kids……it’s akin to a job interview, not getting a job is usually not about you, it’s about the company. I feel like admissions is very subjective

My daughter was accepted tonight just after 5:00.

SAT: 1300
wGPA: 4.15
Several honors and AP classes, rigorous current schedule.
Applied mid-October.
OOS NJ
Marketing, Lerner College of Business & Economics

No merit mentioned, and I don’t see a “financial aid” tab. There’s a big “learn about financial aid” button, but that just takes me to an info page.

So sorry. You have the right attitude!

D just got the Honors College acceptance email so those are coming out earlier than anticipated👍🏻

Congratulations! Did she have to apply separately for the honors college?

I don’t believe so, if my recollection is correct on the common app you could toggle if you were interested in being considered. No additional essay was required.

Please any advice : Can we assume this is a deferral for RD admissions?
to summarize content of letter sent this evening

" due to high volume of qualified candidates and competitive nature of major you selected, we have not finalized our decision with regard to you your candidacy.
To help us with our decision, we want to review your grades mid-point of your senior year. as soon as mid point grades are available provide an update Through your student portal : MyBlueHen home
We hope to inform you of a decision no later than early April
Be assured that we recognize you as an accomplished student and we encourage you to continue to strive academically.

D (OOS) applied for Business undeclared Lerner
She has already received early acceptance Michigan State business and Temple U Fox Business
Not sure how to read this letter? Is it a deferral
Does she have a hope/ chance of being accepted if not for Lerner but another less competitive major if her midpoint grades are not as high as needed for this college ? She hopes to have a decision long before April.

My son was accepted Nov 5th and we just received a notice about Merit scholarship 2 days ago

Yes, it sounds like a deferral and the decision will depend on their mid-year grades. If you are anxious about it, I would contact admissions.

Merit seems to be based on unweighted gpa.

Sounds like a deferral, but still sounds hopeful to me. What is her gpa/sat score?

Agreed. I used the net price calculator and my son got what it estimated. I played with not submitting test score (which is higher in comparison to his gpa) or putting in a lower score and the listed award was the same.

Congratulations! My son is waiting to hear about Honors too. No word yet… Does it also show up in the portal?

My son got an email saying something was added to his portal when he was notified of merit aide. So maybe they will do the same when decisions are posted about honors. Good luck!
