We are very anxiously awaiting hearing, it is a slight reach school for my daughter. Would you mind sharing what your daughter’s stats are? Thanks so much for responding.
Good news if you are waiting for a merit award. I just spoke with admissions and they are planning to post awards within the next couple of days.
Has anyone heard a decision from tonight yet?
@hopefullly3 nothing here yet…it says my son’s profile was updated today…but no decision…8 weeks now.
Accepted tonight! Some time after 5pm CST.
Accepted Major: Three Languages
Invitation to apply to World Scholars
My daughter doesn’t actually know yet! She’s studying abroad all year and she asked me to occasionally check her portal. It was after midnight her time when I checked it, so she’ll find out when she wakes up in the morning.
-Homeschooled student
-Latina
-lots of dual credit with a 4.0 for all of them (4 semesters Arabic, 4 semesters of Spanish, 3 semesters of French, 2 semesters of Art History, and a semester of Cultural Anthropology
-Phi Theta Kappa at her community college
-Two-time NSLI-Y study abroad scholar (summer and year for Arabic) and certificate of -Congressional recognition for her participation
-4 AP self-study tests with great scores. I won’t share any of her test scores because she’s morally opposed to stat sharing but she has very good but not top tier scores.
-Lots of extracurricular, a museum internship, good recs, and great essays
Sorry, I should say she does have top tier AP scores. Her SAT score is quite good but not in the top tier.
Hello all. My DS was accepted, I think a few weeks ago. He got a letter in the mail and his portal was updated with the confetti acceptance. But, last night he got another email saying there had been an update to his application? But, not much had changed in the portal. It did have the confetti again and listed a few more details about programs. So, I am wondering if this ‘update’ was sent to everyone who had already been accepted but to some, it included scholarship info? (his new update on his portal did not include scholarship info). He originally applied and it took about 6-8 weeks before he received an acceptance but now the portal says it took 2 weeks?
He was also invited to apply to the World Scholar program. But, now I am wondering if the World Scholar program is similar to other schools accepting you but asking you to spend your first year somewhere else? Does anyone know about this program? It did say his application to the Honors program was still pending. @sapmom do you know anything about the Global Scholars program?
He is very excited about UDelware, They seem to have many unique programs and a warm inviting campus and community.
World Scholars is not like other programs that defer admission. It’s a full four-year program, and there’s a second study abroad experience in the Junior year, and I think there is a global-focused minor along with it. There is also a $9000 one-time fee.
@sapmom thank you!
@CUsucceed my daughter was accepted to the World Scholars program for Athens, Greece. The first semester is spent abroad, the second year they live in the international house and the third year they study abroad again spring semester. I know that there’s also a $500.00 deposit for that on top of the $500.00 deposit to commit, but I haven’t seen the $9,000.00 fee so that is something I have to look into now because that’s expensive.
I looked at the website and I do remember the fee now. However full time fees and room and board are $0 for the world scholars program so it’s only a $1700.00 difference between that and campus per semester.
Just wondering if anyone else who did early action is still waiting on a decision. I applied October 30th so it’s been 9 weeks now, and my profile hasn’t been updated since December 20th. Anyone else experiencing this?!
@Bech05 Thank you. Congratulations on your daughter’s acceptance to the World Scholars program! Is she entering the 2024 class? It sounds like a very interesting program. I do think my DS wants to apply to it.
D accepted on 1/3 Psychology stats ACT 26 - 3.7.
Hoping to hear back regarding merit awards soon.
@CUsucceed thank you! Yes, she is entering the Class of 2024. Which country is your son interested in?
@Bech05 that is wonderful! I am not sure which country he would choice, he likes them all!
@ annalissejj113 Profile updated today 01/06 but still no news. I’m wondering if it has to do with the fact that I have to audition for the instrumental performance program. I was told, though, that they admitted first regardless. In-State and it’s been 10 weeks.
Does anyone know if there’s a GroupMe chat for accepted students ??
@BekuMBJ I think everyone’s profile may be updating at same time. My son was admitted 8 weeks ago, and as of yesterday said: Last Updated January 6. Today it says January 7. But there have been no actual updates.
I think these are just system updates…I would not read anything into it.
Thanks @sunnyschool . I’m thinking the same thing cause everyday now it’s updating. It just changed to January 8.
