By any chance, did your daughter take foreign language classes in middle school? UD looks for at least 2 years of world language in high school. This happened to my daughter and I notified the admissions counselor and they granted her acceptance.

Has anyone else not yet heard from UD? D23 applied on 10/13 and has not received a decision.
Our high school sends quite a few kids every year, and no one with Dâs stats has ever been denied from her high school (if SCOIR is right), but the radio silence over here is making her nervous.
Mine applied early September and hasnât heard back.

My D applied 9/25 heard back from UD on 11/11. Her friends all applied right before or after have not heard back. 2 of her friends have exact same stats as my D. The kids we know from a private prep school also have not heard a peep. Same scenario w Penn State. itâs causing a lot of angst around here.

This is why I prefer when schools do a one day rollout of acceptances. Personally mine is over it with UD for this reason.

Yes, in the acceptance letter they said January
Same scenario here and itâs driving us crazy! Applied 10/16 and radio silence here with both schools. In the meantime âeveryoneâ and I may include w lower stats are getting in! Those are her top 2 choices too. Hoping to hear before the new year at this point. The pain is real! Especially on Friday evenings

Sorry. Need to add she has NOT heard back from UD.
Havenât heard back eitherâŠ. Finance major
On,y about 1/4 of colleges have rolling admissions.
She can definitely reach out and see if itâs major or something else. My daughter had a similar issue to the one mentioned with foreign language. There was an easy way to appeal the decision and add more info. She was then accepted (but not into a limited major).
The release of decisions is only once per week. I am still waiting and hopeful. There is also demographics, and my understanding is that in state is not competing with out of state students and international students. When you add major to the mix it becomes complicated. This is across the board, and not specific to UD.

My daughter applied for Psych
We are OOS state. She knows a couple of kids from her school that have already been admitted (both with what she believes are probably lower stats), but I have no idea what majors.
The waiting is hard!
We havenât heard. I underestimated how stressful the waiting would be

Mine applied under business and we didnât really there was a math requirement of pre calc which she didnât have. So not sure what will happen!
3 years of math is minimum. 4 is recommended for Business, but it does not say itâs mandatory.
Additional Recommendations for Specific Academic Programs:
- Prospective majors in mathematics, engineering, business, computer science, and natural science should complete four years of mathematics, including trigonometry, pre-calculus, and/or calculus.
You can read all about it here: First-Year Students Admissions Requirements | University of Delaware
I hope this helps. Good luck!
