We received honors program entrance in the admission letter, but nothing on merit aid yet.
Has anyone child applied to the entrepreneurship program in Lerner? We received acceptance but no letter/merit package yet.
When were you accepted @Jan18? My daughter is still awaiting her merit and letter…she was accepted in early November. She contacted her admissions rep and was told she should have it within two weeks.
Son received his yellow envelope yesterday evening with his acceptance letter to the Honors college. His major is Physics. Haven’t received any merit awards yet but I believe he qualifies for Presidential. Could anyone give me some insight as to whether or not he might be strong enough to get a Distinguished Scholars invitation?
His stats are:
ACT: 35 (one sitting) M 36 E 36 R 35 S 34
SAT Subject tests: Physics 800 Math 2 800
GPA: 4.0
2 APs (3 more this year), 7 Honors classes
National Merit Semifinalist
Yale Book Award
4 season athlete, competitive rower (recruited), double sports in Fall and Winter
Excellent ECs in leadership (Mentorship program leader, peer tutor, student government, co-captain of Mock Trial and crew, Honor committee, etc).
He’s been accepted to both BC (no word on FA yet) and WPI (super generous merit aid, but not enough FA to make it affordable). Deferred at MIT. Based on the NPC, only a DS scholarship would make UD possible…
@moosiechica88 Based on reading last year’s posts he is definitely a strong contender for a Distinguished Scholars invitation but not guaranteed, several kids over the years with 35s and 36s haven’t been invited. It’s one of those things that you should keep in mind but I can’t say 100% what his chances are. Again, his stats are mighty impressive though!
My major disappeared at some point in the afternoon/early evening on Tuesday, I read this is the first sign of hearing back soon after so how long does it take from there until I will hear back? When should I expect a decision?
@gekro427, based on the previous posts, your portal should update on Friday evening around 8 pm. The major disappearing has always been a good sign. Good luck!
Hi, does the major always have to disappear to be accepted? I check the portal frequently, and the major is still listed.
@wcgch2p I am not sure…going on 10 weeks and the major still listed on the portal for us too. Really REALLY hoping that in some cases it doesn’t have to disappear…I don’t want to wait another week!!!
Any polisci majors hear back yet?
@stf4717 We are at 12 weeks OOS, so frustrating. I called admissions and they said some applications are put in for a second review and to be patient I should hear something soon. The wait is killing us and still major is listed on portal so I’m guessing at least another week for us…
@booklover28 YIKES, second review? that’s scary…nothing on portal for us, major still there…and it’s after 8pm.

Daughter’s major disappeared. Last night she was accepted to second choice major: neuroscience. Her first choice was nursing. She tried to submit the “change major” but got an error message. She will not attend if not nursing. We will contact admissions office next week. Got into Penn State University Park, and many others with scholarship.
