My daughter applied first week in September. Nothing yet. The waiting has only made us loose interest.

@shannon3 @cgemaj @Mom1974 I think you have a good chance to hear Friday. My DD applied early Oct. and hadnāt heard anything from UDel the week before Christmas. Previously on her portal it said that she couldnāt switch her major while her application was under review. But, the sentence was no longer on her portal. So she sent her AO an email asking if it was possible to switch her application major. Her AO replied that a decision had been made and she should be hearing back that week or the first part of January. We were really discouraged and thought it surely was a no and they were just waiting till after the holidays to let her know. But, she did hear back and she was accepted. Anyway, I think another batch is going out very soon. Wishing the best for your kids!

He likely is in the Regular Decision pool since the SRAR was not done by Nov. 1 for EA. Best of luck! Itās a wonderful school.
Was accepted OOS with a trustee scholarship.
Didnāt submit SAT with a 3.9 UW and a 4.0 W Applied to honors College as well. Hoping to become a Delaware distinguished scholar for more merit aid. Lots of community service and leadership in sports. Will not be doing any sports at UD though.

Yea her portal still has the āyou canāt switch your major and application is under reviewā
Usually those distinguished scholars have 35/36 acts and are in the top 2 of their graduating classes from what Iāve read (my daughter could not get higher than a 34 even after 3 tries).
My daughter is a current Distinguished Scholar. She had an SAT score of 1540 and #1 in her class. She is also active in her club sport at UD and was a first chair musician in high school. It is my understanding that in addition to being a high stats student there is usually something from their essay that the committee finds interesting or unusual or the Discho can add something to the diversity of the campus (unusual sport or activity, underrepresented state, etc.). Even though my daughter was high stats, she was shocked to receive the invitation and ultimately gave up her first choice for the UD Discho scholarship and absolutely loves the school. She is currently on their winter session abroad!

The SRAR didnāt need to be completed until November 11 or something, so he definitely got it in on time. But, that would be a bummer if that was the case.
You would know because the portal would say Regular Decision under term. Mine missed an email and didnāt complete SRAR until 11/22 so got bounced to RD.
Well cr*pā¦ my daughters says regular but she applied early September.
Iām not sure that portal saying āDecision Admit: Regularā is actually referring to rd v ea. My son applied and completed SRAR before Nov 1 and was in fact an EA applicant as confirmed by UDEL admissions. When he received his acceptance on Nov 23, the portal said āregular.ā I think this reference may mean something other than what we think. If you have any doubts about your EA v RD status, just call and ask admissions.
Maybe I am wrong? His definitely says that but maybe they all do. If everything was submitted on time your child must be EA.

I see what you mean. We no longer have this screen because a decision has been received. But if there is any doubt, I would call admissions.
Was everything submitted on time?
Yup! āApplication Completed: September 13, 2022ā
She must be EA then. Good luck and sorry to cause minor panic among all the stress!

Honestly you didnāt. Mine may have very well accidentally checked āregularā. I would assume if she applied āEAā it would say that on her portal. At least this explains the delay.
Ok gotcha. It says Term: Early Action, Fall 2023.
