nerbsmom, the article you’re looking for is from the February 2, 2006 News-Journal article entitled “UD Pressured Over In-State Admissions”. I found it in the archives, but unfortunately you have to pay for access to the archives at their website [delawareonline ¦ The News Journal, Wilmington, Del.](http://www.delawareonline.com)

It was a good article. The basic thrust was that some Delaware legislators were hearing constituent complaints that Delaware was ignoring in-state students in order to attract higher-paying out of state students. The article discussed in some detail how UDel makes its out-of-state decisions versus its in-state decisions. Like I said, I believe there was a GPA and SAT chart comparing accepted in-state and out-of-state students.

I think your daughter’s upward trend is promising, and if she made three visits then it’s pretty clear she has shown significant interest. SAT is a tad low for out of state – honestly, I think it’s going to be close and will come down to her intangibles and essay.

Good luck!
