<p>I may be reading too far into this, but i just got an email from UDel saying:</p>
<p>"Greetings from the University of Delaware! I hope you are having a wonderful senior year. </p>
<p>The Admissions Committee is working hard to finalize our admissions and scholarship decisions. Before we do this, I wanted to inquire about your interest in our University Honors Program. This web site talks about the benefits and describes the community here at UD. </p>

<p>An initial review of your application indicates you would be a great candidate. If you agree, there is still an opportunity to apply. Simply reply directly to me and include a short essay. I do need to hear from you by Friday, February 20th. Here is the essay prompt: </p>
<p>A University of Delaware education is more than the sum of its parts. Over one-third of Delaware students double major or pursue a major with multiple minors. All students participate in discovery learning - from study abroad to undergraduate research to service-learning. Honors students are especially inclined to be interdisciplinary, creative, or entrepreneurial. What do you hope to accomplish and contribute as a member of the Honors community? Where will your Delaware experiences and degree take you? </p>
<p>Of course, feel free to reply with any questions related to UD. I look forward to hearing from you. </p>
<p>i may be overly optimistic, but this seems to suggest that i have a very good shot at being accepted into udel. any thoughts?!</p>
