Waitlisted, 35 act, 98 gpa
rejected… guess I didn’t show enough interest by not visiting
Am I looking in the wrong place? I don’t see a decision? App still says submitted.
Wait listed. 2110 SAT 97.8 GPA.
@TR186 try clicking on “2016 Regular Decision” in blue. Then at the top of your page, it will say “view status update.” Click on that, and there you have it! Good luck
When you log in through admissions.bucknell.edu/account/login go in to 2016 Regular Decision. There should be an updated link at the top of the page which will either your status.
Another waitlisted here for my S, he did 2 visits has a 4.1 and strong ec’s and leadership but ACT score was 31. It’s okay, he is accepted to his top 2 choices so congrats to those accepted!
Accepted -Biomedical Engineering
Presidential fellowship candidates were notified back in February. If you weren’t, I would not count on that. As for FA, Bucknell states on their site that the acceptance letters are posted on the site and all financial letters are delivered via snail mail.
In!!! Thanks!
My D was waitlisted. 36 ACT, 4.4 GPA, 12 AP classes, 8 Varsity letters, Really! Guess they don’t want to give out too much merit money so they waitlist their strong candidates. Oh and visited the school 3 times.
Accepted! Also admitted to Lehigh, Lafayette, and Holy Cross! Unfortunately I have received the exact same small financial aid package from the other three and don’t expect any more from Bucknell, so I will not be able to attend any of my top choices.
S was waitlisted. Visited several times. It was one of his top choices. Bucknell draws most of its applicants from ED1 and ED2 as they mentioned at one of our visits. My S just wasn’t sure between his top two choices so he applied RD. Advice to future applicants, if you know Bucknell is your top choice apply ED. My S was accepted to his other top choice Villanova. This makes his decision a little easier. Congrats to all who were accepted!! Bucknell is a great school!!
Is Bucknell known to have “Tuft’s Syndrome”? I’m applying next year and my stats are much higher than average for Bucknell. If I do the various types of visits(campus tour, day in the life, etc) will that show enough interest?
@pkchamp89 DD waitlisted also and accepted Villanova. Did you get a financial package yet from Villanova?
@catholicmom3 We did not apply for financial aid but I know Villanova is releasing the financial aid info on 4/1. Congrats! Is your DD attending?
Hoping to but depends on $. Accepted to business.
That is great. Crossing my fingers for you!
