Hello. I’ve been waiting for a discussion to start on this but since it hasn’t here it is. Hoping for daughter to be invited to UDel’s Distinguished Scholars weekend. Let’s post here when we hear.
Does anyone know what SAT score you must have to be invited?
I was reading on CC that you should have SAT’s 1550+ and ACT’s 35+ (my Dd only has a 34, bummer).
I think its somewhat of a crap shoot. In past years students with perfect scores and high SAT’s not invited to Discho weekend. I saw one post where someone with a 32 ACT got an invite. So who knows. Hoping for the best but it is a long shot for us…
Email invitation came out tonight
Congrats @NJMom18 can I ask your child’s stats?
So excited!!! S19 received an invite as well! UDel is a top choice if the money were to work out!

@njmom18 or @mountainmomof3 what date is distinguished scholars weekend?

thank you
Have any music majors received an invitation to this event?
@lakegirl111 - this year has been much quieter than previous years. Only 2 of us have posted about kids that have received invites thus far. I will say that in years past the invites went out in waves so there is still a chance. You could also call and ask if all invites have been sent out. Good luck!
My S19 was named a Eugene du Pont scholar! We are thrilled for him and he will be attending this fall!
Congratulations @mountainmomof3 That is awesome! We are still waiting to hear what my son will get. When did you find out?
Your son should have gotten a Distinguished Scholar email and an update to his portal.
@mountainmomof3 He didn’t get an email yet but he just checked his portal and also got the Eugene du Pont! We are very excited and he will also be attending this fall!
@mdmom19 - congratulations! I am sure they will get to know one another then!
BTW - tell your son to check his spam or promotion folder - that was where my son’s letter came through.
@mountainmomof3 Wow my D19 received Dupont as well. We are over the moon with excitement.
@jabsmom10 - congratulations! My S19 committed this weekend. We are very excited!
