Did anyone else get a big envelope today? I haven’t opened it as it is addressed to my D, the applicant. It’s about 6 weeks early, so I am not expecting much more than another advertising flyer.

False alarm…another advertising package.

I would imagine decisions would be coming out soon? Does anyone know how decisions were rolled out in past years? All at once? or staggered over a couple weeks? etc?

Can someone let us know if decisions are posted? My friend is tired of bugging her son to check and last he checked there wasn’t a decision yet.

My son got in but got Zero listed for Merit (or any scholarships/aid). It lists COA at $83K. We did apply for tuition exchange. Do they wait on that or is that a no? Are they really giving him zero? He’s got high stats (1530 SAT Eagle Scout, etc)

Do we think those who haven’t heard at this point should expect a rejection? This is frustrating. Congrats to those of you accepted!

Did you check portal?
DD never heard from Bucknell. When I told her that results will be out, she was very surprised.
Turned out that ALL communication went into SPAM. She never even set up portal with them :rofl: .Well, she is very happy with the result. She is waitlisted. Not bad for school #20 on her list that she never visited and never showed any interest. I am relieved that I do not need to add another school to the list to choose from. She already has 13 acceptances with scholarships, so my head is spinning…
