    What the numbers say about Delaware State University

    • The reported middle 50% spans 220 points, from 800 to 1020. A planning score near or above 1060 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 47% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 39% completion rate and $49,307 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
