My D got into UD honors with merit, but not UMCP honors (did get fall admit though) She went to both UMCP and UD accepted student days, and decided UD was for her. UMCP would have been less expensive, but she (and we) thought she had a higher propensity for success at UD. I am not sure if honors at UMCP would have altered the decision.

She did not like her overnight at UMCP on April 16-17, and fell in love with UD in two hours on April 18. She visits UMCP periodically and is still convinced her decision was right for her.

Even though both schools are ‘large’, UD is less ‘vast’, and is smaller. She is extremely happy at UD.

Look at your intended major, go to accepted student days, balance your finances, do an overnighter if you can, and make your decision. Good luck, keep us posted.
