It is a lot harder for out of state students than in state, so if you are out of state you have to try a lot harder in school!

“Out of state isn't that difficult in my opinionMar 05 2010Finance
Out of state isn't that difficult in my opinion. My sat was 2000 and gpa 3.4. I had a few extracurriculars, nothing too impressive. Demonstrate your interest (for example they ask you if UD is your number one choice on the common app supplement) and you are likely to be accepted. If you are in state, your standards are much lower, as their "Commitment to Delawareans" gives you exactly what courses you need to take in high school as well as what grades you need to get, and a goal to have you graduate with 1/4th of the total cost of attendance for four years. In state students have it made essentially. Out of state is definitely in reach if you're not a complete screw up.

“It is hard to get in if you areNov 28 2009Biology
It is hard to get in if you are out of state, but really easy to get in if your are from Delaware.
It is hard to get in if you are out of state, but really easy to get in if your are from Delaware.
I guess because Delaware is such a small state, less than 40% of the students that go to UD are actually from Delaware. The school wants more DE kids to go there so they make it really easy for them to get in. But the school wants to keep up its good academic reputation so they make it really really hard for out of state students to get in.
My best advice is get 2 or 3 really really good recommendations and write a killer essay and you will be fine -- even if your SAT scores aren't great.
