<h1>This is the quote from the Bucknell admissions facebook page, but my son didn’t see any status updates on his account. Are they hidden somewhere?</h1>

<p>“After great amounts of deliberation and consideration by the Office of Admissions, the decisions for the class of 2015 have been made and the letters posted. We have thousands of fantastic applicants that made the task of choosing the class very challenging. Thank you to all those that applied. To all those that were admitted, Congratulations! (And be sure to join us April 16th for Admitted Students Open House.)”</p>

<p>Anybody see theirs online today?</p>

8

<p>I don’t see a decision online. Maybe by letters posted they mean that the physical letters are in the mail (post referring to post box, I know it’s a stretch).
Hopefully they will be posted online soon though.</p>

9

<p>For me, my decision letter came the day after they sent it because I live close to Lewisburg.
My Bucknell portal was updated mid-day later that week. I’m pretty sure they won’t be updated at 12am on the dot.</p>

10

<p>I’m from NJ so maybe I’ll be getting my letter tomorrow anyways? It would be nice if they updated the website tonight at 12AM since I’ll be up doing homework anyways haha.</p>

11

<p>Yea, I really hope they post them at 12, but I doubt it…</p>

12

<p>12:13 am and decisions are posted!! accepted engineering woooo</p>

13

<p>rejected from engineering/management. i requested a LOT of aid, and my SATs did not exactly meet their standards (1700 total). oh well, im most likely going to attend RPI:] good luck to you all!</p>

14

<p>=( </p>

<p>I write to offer you a place on the Wait List for Bucknell University’s Class of 2015. Placement on the Wait List means that the Admissions Committee is impressed with your application but is not, at this time, able to offer you admittance. We would, however, like to keep you in mind as a candidate should any space in the class arise in the next few months.</p>

15

<p>Yay! Son accepted (ACT 34, SAT 2180). Very happy. Good luck to you all!</p>

16

-SAT: 690 CR, 730 M, 750 W
-SAT II: 770 Chem, 750 Lit, 720 Math I
-GPA: 3.9 (4.0 scale, weighted, private school)
Subjective stuff:
-Applying as a chem major
-Varsity runner (not recruit, though)
-Stage Manager
-Sailing Instructor
