<p>sugardonkey 88 - Did you receive any financial aid; i.e., scholarships/grants? You're stats are impressive. (Math's not bad!) Good luck to you! My d is interested in Bucknell, but it's very costly to attend. I'd hate to see any student graduate with a boatload of loans.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>what should you shoot for? a 1350 (2000+) would make it a match assuming you have decent activities and are around the top tenth of your class. recruited athletes make up a good percentage of the bottom quarter of enrolled students based on sat scores, so its a bit more difficult to get in than admissions statistics suggest (same for other small d1 schools: lafayette, colgate, et cetera). dont take that to mean that our athletes are unintelligent; we have a national merit finalist on our basketball team. its just much easier to get in with a 1200 if a coach really wants you. but i digress.</p>
<p>anyway, just to give you an idea, the enrolled 25-75 range for the class of 2010 should be 1230-1410 (600-690 verbal, 630-720 math). for admitted students, the range is 1270-1460 (620-720 verbal, 650-740 math). </p>
<p>that said, i know two non-athletes who got in with sub 1200s (old version). both were in the top 10 of their classes, scored in the 1180 range and had amazing ecs. one was a legacy who got in ed. the other made it in off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Thank you for the information! I'm pretty close to that, but I'm retaking the SAT in June to bring my score up into the 1400's, hopefully. I really want to go to this school...</p>
<p>Does Bucknell take AP test scores into consideration when evaluating applications?</p>
<p>I have a 2350, but a B average. Do I have a good shot? ECs are pretty much in line with what most people seem to have.</p>

<p>i have NO idea how much ap scores are taken into consideration in the admissions process. it would be a good question to ask [url=<a href="http://www.bucknell.edu/Admissions_Aid/Undergraduate_Students/Applying_to_Bucknell/Contact_Admissions.html%5Dadmissions%5B/url">http://www.bucknell.edu/Admissions_Aid/Undergraduate_Students/Applying_to_Bucknell/Contact_Admissions.html]admissions[/url</a>], though! if you find anything out, let us know.</p>
<p>have you considered applying early decision? 58% of ed applicants were admitted for the class of 2009 compared with about 32% rd. the rd acceptance rate this year was around 28%.</p>

<p>id be very surprised if you didnt get in. my stats were somewhat similar to yours (gpa a bit better, but at a pretty bad public high school; sats slightly lower, but still well above the 75th percentile) and i got in everywhere i applied, including cornell.</p>
