We’re in the downcounty engineering magnet. WHS.
That kills me. “Mid” is not what these kids are. They get good grades, they work hard, they have EC’s. But somehow that’s still not enough. Basically, if you’re not a star, you’re mid. HATE that about this generation. Being able to directly compare yourself with the entire world in real-time is such a burden that we never had to do.

Curious about the Residential College and whether that has any impact. I see two acceptances. Any denials/deferrals who applied to the Residential College?
Accepted OOS. CoE CS. SAT 1520 (Math 800). 3.95 UW (1 B+). 15 AP/Post-AP. OK ECs. Good essays

Fully agreed, Sir! I always told my D25 to not be obsessed about stats and enjoy learning process (bad advice from an admissions POV), but I never wanted her to get into a rat race. I strongly believe that GPAs (in most cases) are a function of how involved the parents are in the process. I never bothered checking with my D25 all through her Freshmen to Junior year and she maintained an UW GPA of ~3.7 in a rigorous curriculum. As I got a bit involved the senior year with her apps and look into things with her, this Senior year fall semester she got a 4.0 UW GPA with all IB courses. When I ask her what changed, she’s like: now you are watching, so I’m a bit more conscious… lol… But what I love is that her teachers love her for who she is as a person, and her learning abilities, and not a GPA number. She will land where she’s meant to be. This obsession to land at the “best possible” college needs to end.

Residential college acceptance comes once the student is admitted to LSA. It doesn’t make anything easier.

has anyone gotten in for chemical engineering? how is the program? especially in comparison to publics like UDel (in-state + honors college + world scholars + merit for me)?
Delaware has one of the best chem e programs in the country, its proximity and relationship with companies like DuPont is great. It’s well regarded and from a price standpoint especially with merit and honors college it’s a fantastic option
