<p>What other similar schools do people who are applying to the university of delaware apply to?</p>
<p>uconn, umass</p>
<p>UConn = UDel</p>
<p>also UMD and Penn State</p>
<p>U of Pittsburgh, perhaps?</p>
<p>How does a school like UDel compare with William and Mary and UVa ?</p>
<p>MBJ, my D applied to both UDel and WM, and we visited UVA. I think much depends on what the student is like. WM is much harder to get into than UDel, has fewer but more academically-oriented students, is more isolated, is not noted for technical disciplines or athletics. Nonetheless, D loved the place. (Unfortunately, it did not love her back.) I think UVa would be a better comparison to UDel, though obviously it's much harder to get into UVA (out of state). I believe most people would consider UVa a cut above UDel, except in certain disciplines like ChemEng.</p>
<p>THANKS everyone!!</p>
