University Delaware Class of 2027 Official Thread

Yes

Hi there, my D23 had a complete application on 10/28 and has not heard back yet. She is in the same situation. The majority of students from her high school are accepted, and no one with her stats ever denied. We use Naviance instead of SCOIR. I’m wondering if it makes a difference per major. She selected Biological Studies as her 1st choice, Chemistry second.

Hello, can anyone speak to how reliable Naviance or SCOIR are when looking at the students high school stats for a particular university? We’ve been using it as a guide, but wondering if it’s accurate.

My daughter just heard at 5pm that she was accepted. She also applied at the VERY end of the EA deadline - 10/31! No news on merit scholarships yet - just an acceptance. The rest of the schools she applied to won’t release their decisions until the end of January and the end of March, so it was nice to get one acceptance before the holidays! Props to UDel for rolling out their acceptances instead of waiting for a particular day!!

I can only speak from my experience but I think a lot has to do with major. My daughter got accepted last year with a ton of merit - don’t recall exact amount - as an education major. She had a 92 GPA, non rigorous schedule at all, so much so that she didn’t take a math higher than algebra (she took accounting and economics after Alg). She also did not take language. UDel actually reached out to our HS to ask why she didn’t take language. She has an IEP and was exempt. So we granted permission to the guidance counselor to share that info with UD. This was on Dec 2nd last year and she got her acceptance about two weeks later - came on a Fri night. About a month later the merit package came and because she didn’t respond they reached out a second time with even more of a merit package. I believe it was because they have so few kids who want to go into education. Just my two cents.

My daughter got accepted into Business, in state, haven’t gotten financial award yet.

My daughter just received her acceptance package through good old snail mail. Kind of fun to get an acceptance the “old school” way. She still hasn’t received an email to check her portal, or anything.

OOS Psych major.

You receive the acceptance package several days to a week after the decision appears in the portal.

One thing I noticed with both Delaware and Ohio State is that the students from my D’s high school got their acceptances at the same time. Could be a coincidence but it doesn’t seem so

My daughter received Delaware and Penn State acceptance on 11/11. coincidence?! Maybe but strange. My D did not hear back from Ohio State last week. The two we know that were accepted into Ohio State have not heard back from Penn State yet and did not apply to Delaware.

Still waiting to hear for my dtr. Anyone else?

We are still waiting too. Maybe this Friday.

Still waiting
