My daughter applied when application opened at the beginning of September and the school sent all info on October 1st. When do decisions usually go out? Thanks!
UD denotes 8-12 weeks after an application is deemed fully complete with all required documents. Over the past two years UD’s adherence to this timeframe has been highly variable. With a new Admission’s Director this year hopefully they will improve on their compliance with this time frame. Just a guess but I would be surprised if we will see any acceptances before mid to late November. Good luck.
I am wondering this too. I had my app in by mid August and my school got their stuff in Oct 5. Does your application say under review anywhere?
keep in mind it will take UD a couple of weeks to upload your info into their system… If your school delivered the materials to UD by Oct 5th… they should have it all logged in probably in another week or two. At that point your 8-12 week time frame will begin. That’s where a lot of the confusion came in the last two years. Applicants were expecting their waiting period to begin the minute they sent the application, not when UD had finally gathered and assembled the application to completion. You may have a shot of that being a bit shorter since you are pretty early with your application but this is the best guideline to go by. Good Luck to you!
I heard that some admission packets will be mailed next week…
@zipbags where did you hear this?
By the way, I received an email yesterday (10/27) that my application is under review (this is 3 weeks after my school materials were sent). Anyone else get this email? Wondering how long I should expect to wait before receiving a decision now.
@laughandlearn23 yes…my daughter got the same email.
@zipbags how long ago did you receive the email?
She got it yesterday or the day before.
We applied October 1Transcripts sent at same time and ACT scores sent 10/23. I called today to verify if UD received everything and they confirmed. Admissions did indicate that decisions have been made with the first batch of apps and that we would hear something within 2 weeks. We applied thru common app but did not get an email with ID for the portal. Hope not getting an email with ID means non-acceptance. Fingers are crossed!’
Has anyone gotten their packet in the mail? I know the first batches were going out this week.
I have not received anything in the mail yet. @burbs20 did they say they would send you an email for admissions decisions? I wonder what dates are considered first batch of apps.
@laughandlearn23 - No they did not, nor did I think to ask.
My daughter got her acceptance packet in the mail today!
@zipbags Congratulations! Happy to hear. Hopefully I will receive mine today as well. Does the email link reflect the acceptance?
Are you in state
@zipbags congrats, what a good way to start the weekend! If you don’t mind me asking, what are you daughter’s stats?
Thanks! My older daughter is a junior at UD. We are OOS. Her basic stats…
4.0 gpa, 1660 sat, 24 act. Speech disorders major.
Congratulations! Does your portal say accepted?
My son is similar, 3.85uw and 4.15w with 24 ACT. Like yours, PSU is first choice {(I’m an alumni) with delaware 2bd. Already accepted to East Carolina, WVA and James Madison. Didn’t get anything in mail yet. Hopefully soon! Congrats again, Awesome for her!!
