Do well on standardizedFeb 13 2016Public Policy
Do well on standardized tests, do lots of extracurriculars.

I am a white female from a rural areaFeb 12 2016Biology
I am a white female from a rural area in the state of Maryland. My graduating GPA was 4.35 weighted and 3.65 unweighted (I slacked off until my senior year; don't do that). I participated in sports, held team captain position, was a member of the National Honor Society, and worked a part-time job as well as volunteered at a hospital and the library. I had a not the greatest SAT of like 1960 (I didn't use it) and a ACT of 31. I also took the SAT subjects of Math 2 and Biology (the cellular one). I got a 540 in Math and a 670 in Bio. I applied as a Biochemistry major and for the honors program and I got into both.
To be honest, the honors program is not that great. It's a ton of work for a possibility of getting an honors degree. You need to graduate with a 3.400 GPA and to take specific courses in order to graduate with an honors degree. Making sure you fit all of the requirements every semester is such a pain in the a$$.
As long as you have good grades (about a B average), decent test scores (around 1700 or 23) and extracurriculars, you should get in no problem. I would recommend taking as many APs as you can in high school. If you score high enough on them, you will get some form of credit for them, with some exceptions, and you will get a better spot for registering for classes during the year. More credits= better registering spot.
ACT: 31 Female
High SATJan 26 2016Physical Therapy/Exercise Science
high SATs, decent gpa, some extra curriculars, interviewed with an admissions officer, visited twice
UD has been getting a lot of criticism lately for their divirsity so in the coming years it MAY (i am certainly no expert) be harder for caucasians to get in as opposed to minorities
SAT: 2040 Male
I was honestly shocked when I got into this schoolNov 14 2013Political Science
I was honestly shocked when I got into this school. A lot of the people who got in were slightly more competitive than me (B Average), and I think it was my extra-circulars that got me in. My Eagle Scout rank may have had something to do with it, as well as being the head of two other organizations. I scored 1860 on the SAT and got a 28 on the ACT. Hope that helps.
ACT: 28 SAT: 1250 Male
Definitely try to get in as many clubs inDec 15 2012Geography and Geosciences
Definitely try to get in as many clubs in high school. I've noticed when talking to my friends at UD, many of them got waitlisted (and eventually got in) even though they had a higher GPA and SAT score than I did which leads me to believe UD really does pay attention to if you do other things besides just schoolwork.
SAT: 1600 Female
