<p>Anyone here ever been considered for it? I'm just wondering how good your stats have to be. I figured someone on CC must have been eligible at some point.</p>
<p>My son was invited to apply two years ago. You had to be in the top 125 of all the applicants to UDEL. From what I can remember of his stats: 35 ACT, 1450/1600 SAT, 4.58 GPA weighted, ranked 3rd in his class and he took 10 or 11 AP classes.</p>
<p>He and the other invitees spent a night (or two) at the dorms and spent the next day interviewing. All the invitees received a scholarship (at the time, it covered the cost of tuition) if you didn’t get a Dupont or another scholarship.</p>
<p>Its the top 125-150. It changes from year to year. My stats.</p>
<p>3.83 GPA
730 Math
790 Verbal
700 Writing</p>
<p>… i definitely wasn’t one of their best applicants but i had a slew of extracurrics. the best part about the selection is that its not just stats. they weigh heavily on other factors. you also have to interview pretty well.</p>
<p>My sister was considered for it.
She had a 4.2 weighted out of 4.25ish and was salutatorian.
Her SAT’s were CR 760 M 690 W 800
She wrote several professionally performed plays.
She turned the scholarship down for Columbia full price.</p>
<p>Yes, they are trying to entice the top students to enroll. One of the students awarded the Dupont turned it down for Harvard.</p>
<p>The interviews is a major factor. They interview throughout the process including the dinner/lunch as they had interviewers sitting with the students at their tables plus the individual interview at the end of the process.</p>
