<p>Shiven, how do you know your decision already if you applied Regular Decision?
Did they inform you early because of a scholarship program?
How did you hear? (Online, letter in the mail, etc)</p>

<p>I'm guessing Shiven concluded he was accepted due to receiving a merit aid notification early. Congrats to him :) and to everyone else who's been accepted already. </p>

<p>By the way, join a res college!</p>

<p>We already had a couple kids get recruited to go there, so that might have been a factor... oh well, still lots of schools to hear from..</p>

top 8th percentile
decent but not spectacular ECs</p>

<p>For those waitlisted or rejected I hope our story helps a bit- my d was rejected from Bucknell 3 years ago with what we felt were very good stats, a bit lower SAT scores than s, but similar school rank and much more impressive ECs including national and international level competition/rankings.
It was a blow, but she has been a high achieving and very happy student elsewhere- it really does work out for the best!</p>
