does anyone know when financial aid notices will be made? I got my big yellow envelope yesterday but all that was in it was general information and an acceptance letter. I’m a little worried because I live in MI and my MSU acceptance letter also didn’t come with any financial aid
I’m public policy (sort of similar) and got in after applying in Oct
@AmyBeth68 acceptance was received 4 weeks ago or so. Was told last week we would receive pkg within 1-2 weeks.
no scholarship info. just acceptance and tells u what major and told me that i got into honors college. assuming the $ will come with the letter
received letter today and no $ info. hopefully it comes separately
Just updating that my daughter is over 2 months past her official acceptance into the Honors College and still no snail-mail packet or merit information. She’s a 34 ACT 4.0 uw GPA 4.55 wtd GPA. She contacted admissions twice over the past two months and was told she’d get a letter within two weeks each time…hoping maybe this is the week. It’s quite strange! Hoping everyone that is waiting hears very soon!
@AmyBeth68 I wonder if she suddenly will be invited to one of those big Scholarship weekends?
There must be some weird glitch with your daughter’s mailing. However I would think Admissions would be able to clarify this for you!!!
@Astro77 I don’t think her stats are high enough for Distinguished Scholars to be honest…I haven’t heard of anyone with less than 35 ACT get invited in past years. My only guess is that because she checked off the World Scholars box her file was sent to the Global department for review and therefore didn’t go through the normal process but her admissions rep didn’t say that to her, just said basically “we’ll send your packet out in the next 2-4 weeks”. Which seems bizarre but at least she put it on somebody’s radar haha. I mainly don’t want people panicking if they haven’t received Merit yet from Udel since obviously it’s not a hard and fast rule that merit is awarded within 2 weeks :). Good luck everyone!!
I have to say in general that I’ve had several issues with the mail over the last few weeks. I’ve been expecting three things to arrive that are nowhere to be found. I feel your frustration! Wishing you good luck!
Online they said that they send out merit with the acceptance letter…but I got my acceptance packet today and no merit??? Honors college but no merit. Little confused as to how they would give me no merit considering Umass Amherst, UNH, PC, Fairfield, Quinnipiac, and Duquesne ALL gave me substantial merit money.
@mcblackberry I would hang tight…if you go to UDel’s net price calcualtor and enter your stats it will show you what type of merit you qualify for and they’ve been quite consistent in these amounts. My daughter and a few others that I know of are also accepted into the Honors College with stats that qualify them for merit but haven’t received it yet. I know it’s so frustrating to wait!! Did you apply for World Scholars by any chance? I am wonderinf if that is the hold up for some of the students.
My son was accepted in December, honors program, Lerner, 35 ACT, 4.0 GPA. No mention of merit in his acceptance letter.
So, has ANYONE who applied in late October still waiting for an answer? I can’t believe we are still waiting, but we are…we are at week 11, I believe, in the 8-12 week window. 
We are in the same boat. App in on 10/20. Confirmation it was complete 11/21 and have heard nothing. Waiting game is tough
my app has been confirmed since Nov. I applied Civil Engineering, has anyone heard back about engineering?
@STF4717 We feel your pain… after waiting 12 weeks they added an update to the portal saying due to popularity of major we selected, they needed more time to finalize decisions and determine the shape of the class. Then said decision should be by March 15…!!
@booklover28 that is HORRIBLE! I can’t imagine having to wait another 2 months. What is your major?
@STF4717 Major is Marketing. But I saw on another thread a mathematics major got same update on their portal. I’m hoping its less than 2 months
@STF4717 Don’t worry same here! Applied around mid-October. I received my confirmation email saying 8-12 weeks on Nov 21st. The wait is killing me especially since UD is my #1 school!!!
Got accepted into UD’s honors program a week ago, Three Language major. 31 ACT, 1300 SAT. Any news on how soon notifications on merit scholarships. UD’s my number 1 school, but money is a big factor in my decision. Anxiously waiting :-/
