still no mail from UDel

<p>Daughter applied Dec 1. Not only has nothing arrived via snail mail, Admissions office is not answering her email and the Admissions website is down.</p>

<p>Really makes me wonder about UDel's interest in international students. First Accepted Day is only a week away--it is really hard for us to make travel plans last minute.</p>

<p>Anyone else in this situation?</p>

<p>In fact, now that I think about it, unlike other schools, UDel has never sent us anything by mail...no promotional brochure, no friendly form letter, no confirmation of receipt of application and no acceptance/rejection letter.</p>

<p>My daughter's other schools all innondated us with mail and informed her of their decision by email or DHL.</p>

<p>D applied very early, and she was accepted. We got the package in the mail about two weeks ago. I don't believe we received anything in the mail during the time she submitted application in October, until the admission envelope (which was beautiful, by the way).</p>

<p>I think you may have to spring $$$ for a phone call. Or, if the website is up, you should be able to log on (as long as you didn't do the common application).</p>

<p>Hm, I'm an international too, who applied to UD.</p>

<p>I called the admissions office to find that they hadn't even read my application yet. They had to dig me out of the pile, or something. </p>

<p>I kind of question UD's interest in internationals as well, which is interesting since I even go to a Delaware high school.</p>

<p>It might be a good idea to call if you really are interested.</p>

<p>D emailed admissions again...still no reply. Nothing in the mailbox this afternoon either. (It's Friday, April 6 in Japan.) When I suggested that she call UDel Admissions late tonight (morning in Del) she replied, "I have such a bad impression of UDel from this experience that I don't want to go there. I'm accepting BU's offer."</p>

<p>Thank you to all posters--you helped us learn about UDel the past few months.
Good luck.</p>

<p>I am not putting Udel down with this, so, to anyone who objects, please understand.</p>

<p>If you are living in Tokyo, and coming all the way over to the United States to go to school, your child will probably be better off at BU. Why, because BU is in a city, Boston. Delaware is NEAR cities, but not IN a city. And, Boston is a COLLEGE town, where there are millions of students all over. </p>

<p>If it were my child in your place, I would highly want them to go to BU too....of only for the location.</p>

<p>Good luck with everything!</p>

<p>I agree, momwithquestions. I think she'll be happier in a city and at a school with a more sizeable international student body. Also, her older brother is at tufts and when you live 10,000 km away it is reassuring to know that the kids are together.
thanks.</p>
