<p>Since I started looking at colleges PSU was my number one. I loved everything about it, and I knew it’s where I wanted to go. However, when I visited UDel it was certainly way up there too.</p>
<p>I was not offered admission to Fall 2011 at University Park. I was offered an alternate campus OR I could do a two week summer program (which costs alot extra) and then I could attend Fall 2011. I was accepted to University of Delaware WITH a scholarship. </p>
<p>Now, both of these schools are competitive to get in to, and it was my understanding that University of Delaware was even more difficult (and the understanding of guidance counselors at my school) .</p>
<p>I am sure it was my profile as a whole student (EC’s, essay, recommendations etc…) that got me in to UDel. In my opinion a school that looks at the whole student instead of just two numbers to admit you into a college is the school I would rather be at. Penn State is a great school, I’m not saying anything bad about it, but I think University of Delaware has a more personal level with their students, which is extremely important.</p>
