University Delaware Class of 2027 Official Thread

That happened to my daughter too. She applied in September and accidentally hit RD instead of EA! Was a long wait! Congrats!

That’s interesting you are the first person to receive the trustee and get into the honors college. I received the trustee as well and haven’t heard anything about my honors decision yet. I was accepted mid November as well. You’d think if u got the trustee u automatically got into the honors. Idk what do others think

She is? I would think there have been others as well, but it’s hard to keep this thread straight with all the activity. My thought is that admissions, financial aid, and honors college are 3 separate offices that make decisions independent of each other.

My daughter got the Trustee and also got into Honors yesterday.

Was it an email or did you check the portal to find out about honors accepatance?

It was Friday at about 7 PM, so I thought to check the portal, and that’s where I saw it. In the portal it said that there was a status update on February 3. So they must do it at the same time they release the decisions (~Friday 5 PM). My daughter said she did not get an email. Good luck!

Was it posted at 5pm? Still waiting in HC.

Also wondering about where it shows up in the portal - I assume if it there then it’s obvous . . .

Congrats! My D was accepted 9 weeks ago and we are still waiting for an Honors college decision. It says it will come by 2/15 but I kind of expected it to be here by now. She is a high stat kid with great ECs so it is kind of perplexing why they haven’t decided it already.

How long is the wait for rd? And honors notification?

In the portal, if you scroll down to where the Honors College banner is, previously it had said a decision would be made by Feb 15. Now it shows the message ā€œCongratulationsā€¦ā€ He checked his email around 5:30 tonight and there was a message saying there was a change to his status, to check the portal.

Given their typical Friday release pattern I would have expected a decision today. The 15th is right around the corner but hard to believe they will release honors decisions over the weekend or not on a Friday.

Agreed!

My daughter is still waiting on an honors decision as well, I think maybe they are saving the denials till the deadline :pensive:

Has anyone been invited to Distinguished Scholars yet?

I believe those have been notified.

We just peeked at my daughters portal (she got in 2 weeks ago via regular decision). We are seeing merit in there but it says the financial information isn’t finalized or something like that and it would be finalized 2-3 weeks after acceptance. Happy to see some money, of course hoping it goes up a bit
