Freshman Class ProfileClass of 2019The University of Delaware received 26,825 applications for its Fall 2015 freshman class:
Historically, close to 90% of Delawareans who apply are admitted to UD, with approximately 65% gaining a place on our main campus and approximately 25% are admitted to the University's Associate in Arts Program. |
Candidates for admission into Art (including BA in Fine Arts, BFA in Fine Arts, and the BFA in Visual Communications) and Apparel Design must submit the Common Application including the "Art Supplement." Within the Art Supplement, applicants will submit a digital portfolio demonstrating creative experience and ability along with a related essay. Portfolios should be submitted by November 1 for Spring transfer consideration, January 15 for Freshman consideration, and May 1 for Fall Transfer consideration. Portfolio requirements for admission into Art can be found here. Portfolio requirements for admission into Apparel Design can be found here.
Each year, some of our best candidates for admission are students who have been home-schooled. Dozens of home-schooled undergraduates are currently enrolled at all class levels at the University of Delaware. Approximately half of them are on the dean’s list.
To help us evaluate home-schooled applicants, we ask that students provide reading lists for the home-schooled courses they have completed along with a transcript of their grades. A sample portfolio of your work or a sample research paper you have written is often helpful to the Admissions Committee.
We also ask that, in addition to the SAT Reasoning Test, home-schooled applicants submit officially reported scores for at least two SAT Subject Tests of their choice. In lieu of the SAT Reasoning Test and the SAT Subject Test, you may submit an officially reported ACT score, as long as it includes the ACT Writing Test. The ACT Assessment covers English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing. These additional scores will help us gauge a home-schooled student’s mastery of various subjects.
Students who attend high schools that are not regionally accredited should follow these same recommendations that we are giving to home-schooled students.
[url=]University Honors Program[/url]The Honors Program at the University of Delaware is one of the oldest in the U.S. Enrolling approximately 450 freshman each year, UD's Honors Program is for students who have excelled in high school /and/ want to stretch themselves academically during their college career. A typical Honors applicant has taken advantage of opportunities for further engagement and is looking to continue those experiences in college. In Honors courses students are expected to be active in their own learning and to be far-reaching and demanding of themselves in their efforts. Honors faculty have higher expectations of them, creating a culture of academic debate and achievement. The students themselves -- an interesting mix of talents and intellect -- are the heart of the program.
To be considered for admission to the Honors Program, students must complete the Common Application, answering "yes" to the Honors interest question in the "Academics" section, and penning one of the following Honors essays with 250-word minimum/500-word maximum response.
