Does anyone know how many Bucknell admitted from the Wait List last year?
The answers to a lot of these questions appear on any school’s “Common Data Set.” The schools are required to publish these. Google and you shall find. Here is Bucknell’s with data from last year. You will see the number of kids waitlisted and the number who got off the wait list. You will also see stats about merit aid. Last year only 70 kids got pure merit aid (athletic scholarships excluded): https://www.bucknell.edu/Documents/InstitutionalResearch/CDS_2017-18/CDS_2017-18H.pdf
Last year they accepted 55 kids out of the 1301 that accepted a spot on the wait list and the year before that they accepted 65 out of the 892 that accepted a spot. You can see this data by googling “common data set Bucknell” and going to the C. FIRST-TIME, FIRST-YEAR (FRESHMAN) ADMISSION section of the results.

This was a total surprise because I thought Bucknell decisions were coming out tomorrow :0 I got waitlisted at Lehigh, so I’m so happy I got into Bucknell. Congrats to everyone else who was accepted, and if you were waitlisted or rejected, I understand the struggle. Just know that this entire admissions process is not indicative of your capabilities and that the results should not define you! : - )
Accepted

congrats to everyone 
@adlgel saw your other posts detailing your daughter. These kind of results still confuse me after doing this for two kids over last 4 years. As hard as it appears it is all meant to be and she will find her way and be better for it! Stay resilient
Financial aid awards will come in the snail mail packet that was mailed yesterday according to the portal acceptance letter.
Does anyone know if merit scholarships are also in that packet? I applied for a math scholarship
