Where can you see the decision? Can’t find any change on the status checker. (Application Management page?)
If you go to the Application Management page, a status update block will appear. It take a moment to load. Good luck!
Waitlisted. Thankfully I was fortunate to receive all of my acceptances first, it makes the potentially disappointing results of my upcoming reaches a bit easier. Congrats to all that have been accepted & good luck to those still waiting!!!

Very surprised. It was a good match. Even my guidance counselor thought I would get in. Bucknell also sent me a letter in the mail months ago saying due to Legacy status they would give my application the “utmost consideration”. I was admitted to Cal Poly SLO so looks like I may headed there.
