you should be fine, but UDel doesn't have EA (or ED for that matter)......

Ok, thank you!
And by EA I meant applying before December 1 so I could be considered for honors and scholarships.

You should be fine. My daughter with virtually identical stats was accepted into the Honors Program (OOS, Connecticut) ... no scholarship money though. It's a good idea to get you application in before December 1. Good luck!

Did your daughter not get her application in by December 1? Because those stats seem pretty good to not get any merit.
I know you have to get everything in by 12/1 in order to be considered for merit(which my son has done). I am not thrilled that they do not give out decisions until March though - he should have all his other acceptances by Feb 1 and the amount of merit he gets from each school will greatly affect his decision. Reading through these threads last year, UDel does not seem consistant with their merit so I am curious as to what (if anything) he gets.

NewHope33

Yes, everything was in by 12/1. As you say, UDel doesn't seem to be consistent with its merit aid awards. Fortunately we didn't need merit aid in order for my D to attend.

I am not sure if UD cares about diversity for scholarship money (I would expect they do for admission) but I would think that Asian would be a benefit because my understanding is there are not a very diverse campus (unlike places like Binghamton which my son says is known as the Asian SUNY).
