When did you send in the application? How much time was there between the date the application was sent and the date you received the email that the app was complete?
Accepted to electrical engineering last night
App submitted on sept 28 and I got the email on oct 19. It’s been almost 14 weeks and still no decision. Should I be concerned? BTW I applied For business management with a 1420 SAT and 4.05 weighted GPA.
@college190 I would be concerned, but I would call admissions and just ask. It sounds like some majors got so many applications that they are taking another 8 weeks to review. If that’s the case it should be listed on your portal.
Either way, it won’t hurt to call. Good luck!
Accepted elec eng last night. Applied 12/15 after missing out on ED for another school. Stats aren’t spectacular … ACT 31, 3.6 GPA but had good ECs and a strong upward trend in GPA with all AP classes starting late junior year continuing into this year. I felt my essays were very good. I’m not a DE resident so merit/aid will be critical for affordability.
Great news for you! thanks!
Daughter called Friday to inquire and make sure there wasn’t an issue. Admissions said she wasn’t missing anything and acknowledged that 12+ is a long time but didn’t offer any explaination or time frame. She’s undeclared. She knows others who have been waiting just as long and others who heard back quickly. Her portal hasn’t changed at all and she applied 10/25. Very frustrating to not even have any sort of time frame and to just wait for the once a week notification!
jlg0143 It is almost unacceptable but unfortunately we cannot do much about it. The once a week waiting is ridiculous.
@jlg0143 remember that when your daughter gets in, and UDel is the one waiting- for students to deposit!!! Make sure you don’t do it until 11:59 on May 1st!
app submitted 12/14; received email 1/2 that app was complete, then admitted two nights ago
got to be major related
app and all documents submitted 10/21. Sports Management major, still have not heard. Any other with this major?
My daughter finally got her merit award (accepted back in November), it arrived in a small thin envelope, so if you’re still waiting don’t fret it could be on its way! Good luck on those still waiting on acceptance and/or merit.
That’s awesome @AmyBeth68!!! Hoping to hear something soon. That gives hope.
@AmyBeth68 We are still waiting to hear on Business College acceptance. Good to know that Merit is sent at a different time than acceptance.
@AmyBeth68 so glad for you, I know this has been a very long wait! Congratulations on your D18 awards and best of luck with decisions, we still have a way to go, but it is nice to have choices that are somewhat affordable.
Did the merit award come on your portal as well?
@suburbanstar No, her portal didn’t update with merit information.
I had submitted and they confirmed receipt of application, etc…11/23. I just received an email saying my application is now complete and they will review. it can be an additional 8 - 12 weeks? Really???
What are average stats for distinguished scholars?
