University of Delaware and Merit

I think it’s probably an honors decision. That’s exactly what happened to my daughter. Decision date updated to a couple days in the future and the original acceptance letter was showing. On the decision date just after 5pm, her Honors College acceptance letter was there. Fingers crossed for you, but I think it’s a good sign!

Hope so! Would mean we would visit, and likely move this up to top three…thanks!

Hopefully not a rejection. I don’t think my son’s stats are enough. But if it’s a no-go, he won’t be crushed. The perks would be very nice, and I think he’d love the extra challenge, but it’s not like honors goes on their diploma. On the other hand, a nice chunk of merit money could make or break things as he’s torn between UD and another school that has already offered very considerable merit.

My son got Feb 21st for last update as well. I guess we will find out tomorrow after 5pm. Best of luck to your student.

Our student has a merit letter in portal dated today, it was not with initial acceptance

That’s fantastic! Congrats! Just checked my daughter’s portal and there’s nothing there. Do you mind sharing some details such as in state or OOS and major?

Nothing on ours yet, D is oos poli sci, waitlisted for honors

Lots of kids on zeemee have merit. They said to click on the blue financial aid box. Nothing for us yet.

Our blue box just says “learn about financial aid” and when I click it just takes me to the university’s standard financial aid web page - nothing specific for my daughter. Are the students on Zeemee reporting that their blue box says something different? We are oos, Lerner College of Business and accepted to honors. Guess we need to wait a bit longer. Would be nice to know before we head to Decision Day on Sat.

Us too. Zeemee kids said blue box will say financial aid and the letter will be there after you click. There’s a lot of kids on zeemee reporting merit, maybe twenty or so from all over.

Crossing my fingers for my kid. We are out of state and price tag is steep. They love the school. I will have to wait until they get home from school.

Nothing was there a hour ago, but it is there now. President’s Scholarship, total $48,000 over 4 years. Still a bit steep, but in the ballpark now.
