<p>also went for an interview. i've been told i have a great shot but my courseload isn't as rigorous as it could be and i only have 2 AP's. i'm trying to get into the school of Public Policy. what are my chances? =/</p>
<p>oh also math team, various volunteer work for my high school and elementary school, book club, and have 3 recommendations (1 from a recent UD graduate)</p>
<p>If your CR/M SAT is north of 1200 I’d say you’re in pretty good shape. Go Hens!</p>
<p>it’s not, but they take writing. like they heavily emphasize taking all 3. even on their class profiles and freshman checklist, they list it in terms of 2400 not 1600.</p>
<p>I’d say you’re in.</p>
<p>I did not know that UD did interviews. How did you arrange that?</p>
<p>thank you handemom 
</p>
<p>interviews aren’t necessary, but they can help. you have to call the admissions office to set one up. they may have stopped offering them for the year but i could be wrong</p>
<p>samjillian, thanks but my son is already attending UD. I just was not aware that they offered interviews, we did not arrange one last year (but I have to admit that when we first visited them they were merely a place to stop on the way from UMCP, he had no real intention of going there).</p>
<p>yeah i loved UMCP too but it’s a little big and more of a reach for me.</p>
<p>how does he like it at delaware??</p>
<p>samjillian,
Do not assume that UMCP is more difficult to get into than Delaware, I got into both last year but a close friend was rejected at UD and accepted at UMCP through their freshman connection program.</p>
<p>well i have heard maryland is more concerned with SAT scores than Delaware, and UMCP also does not take writing, while Delaware does. writing is my best section by FAR so i feel like that gives me more of an advantage for udel.</p>
<p>FWIW, my son got into both UD and UMCP, admitted to Honors at UD and College Park Scholars at UMCP. He did not get offered a scholarship at UMCP, he got a small one at UD. His SAT’s were 1320 for M+V, not sure about his writing but it was not as good as the others.</p>
<p>Anyway, he loves it at UD. He got selected as a Freshman Fellow (that is in the Honors program), although he did get rejected as a Blue Hen Ambassador (they are the people who give tours, the Honors people do not run that). The Honors people invited him to a reception with a guest speaker they had who was in his major area (they also invited him to attend the talk, which was part of an honors class). They apparently do this for other speakers as well and it seems like a really nice thing.</p>
<p>The thing that has really surprised me is that he hangs around pretty much exclusively with the other kids on his floor, and they all (or most of them) seem to get along really well. It’s surprising because there are a bunch of kids he was friendly with from his high school attending and while he sees them around campus he hasn’t gone to dinner with them, etc.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
<p>You should get in it’s my top choice too but I’m probably not going to get in.</p>
<p>LizzyB2013, the UMCP Freshman Connection program is not normal admission. You don’t have housing for the first semester. Granted, it’s better than being rejected.</p>
<p>BTW are you attending UD now?</p>
