College of the Day: University of Delaware

Just about an hour up Interstate 95, you'll find Vice President Joe Biden's alma mater, the University of Delaware. U-D is a large research university about the same size as James Madison and Towson University, but the admissions criteria is a little harder to predict. Students with a 3.0 have been admitted, and students with 3.3 have been denied admission. What is important to remember is that if being a Blue Hen is appealing to you, then you should visit and consider applying - even if it ends up being a "reach" school for you, at least you gave it a shot.
