What importance does student participation in co-curricular and other school activities and community activities [have] in the application process?
Out-of-class activities and community service cannot overcome a weak academic record, or, to put it another way, we cannot admit a student, no matter how strong the out-of-class accomplishment might be, if we can’t be confident that student’s academic record predicts success at UD. However, where activities and community service do come into play is in consideration for scholarships. A student with a topnotch academic record who also has some outstanding achievement outside the classroom becomes an especially attractive candidate for scholarship consideration and may wind up receiving a larger scholarship offer from us.
