2024 Decision Thread/University of Delaware

Hi all! Got deferred in January & they requested mid year grades. Sent the transcript & heard nothing yet. No admission decision email but today when I logged on the notice was post dated for April 3, 2020 that is requesting mid-year grades again. Has anyone heard anything? Good luck! Hope we all hear soon.

My admissions counselor said “Decisions should be out in early April at the latest so you can keep an eye out for any UD emails (or check your portal page weekly) until then.”

Hi all! I got deferred in November and still havent heard back. I emailed admissions yesterday and they said “It should be released in a few days. We appreciate your patience during this time.”! Hopefully we get in after all this waiting!

Yeah you would think if it was a decline that they would just tell you. Why make us wait?

If my daughter declines today as opposed to May 1, will that open up a spot for someone? She was offered a Presidential Scholarship, Honors program, and World Scholars, so it was an extremely difficult choice for her, but her first choice gave her a better offer and she also has a full-ride backup to her state school of choice.

If there’s no chance the spot(s) will go to someone else, she’ll just wait until Decision Day, but if there’s a chance someone else will get her scholarship/spot/Honors if she declines now, that would be her preference.

I would assume that because they are still going through the Honors admissions it would open up a spot - but not so sure about the scholarship as much of that would already be out. (again just my opinion)

Is anyone else waiting for a response to the honors program? We gave today as the deadline if my daughter doesn’t hear anything she is going to accept from another school. It’s been a long road. Good luck to everyone hope Delaware give her scholarship to another deserving student.

Yes, my S is still waiting to hear about honors. He did his World Scholars interview a few days ago.

More decisions just came out for those who are still waiting.

Hi! Just got a decision not the one I was hoping for! Acceptance for the spring semester, be on waitlist for fall won’t hear about that till June 1st, or do a fall program at American University & then transfer all credits to UDel. Good luck everyone hope u guys have better luck than me!

Did anyone else get offered spring semester or be waitlisted for fall semester?

I received the same news! Are you going?

The thing I don’t understand is can I apply to be waitlisted for the fall semester and if I don’t get in for that, can I still enroll for the spring semester?

Daughter just declined her offer. That was hard! It’s a great school and I hope you all get the news you were hoping for, and congrats to all of the acceptances! Good luck, future Blue Hens!

YES !

Wait ! THEY’RE doing a program with American University or you’re saying that you’ll go to American for a semester and transfer? Interesting if it’s the first option.

I’m not the original poster. I’m pretty positive one of the options is going to American for Fall then transfer to UofD. I recall reading about somebody getting that option in the thread from last year.

DS just got the same offer: Fall WL; Spring Admit for his major in the business school-financial/wealth planning. Definitely a viable option. If you select Spring Admit, you’re automatically on the Fall WL.

Something to consider is that Fall programs may still be online depending on COVID19, so this year particularly, Spring admit is a very good option.

I wonder what happens if you say yes to American, which includes an internship, and then classes are still online. Will you just take online classes through American? The first semester at American says you will be non matriculated. Obviously, these are questions that school would have to answer.
