<p>I just got accepted yesterday. I heard Bucknell is a nice school, but a little bit stingy. I wanna go there but my family would definitely not be able to afford 50 thousand a year (My family income is about 80 thousand), so I’m applying for financial aid. Any prediction to how much I should expect to get.
My SAT is a bit lower than the average, my GPA is 3.7 so I won’t expect to get the merit scholarship.</p>
<p>We have a similar family income as you, and both our daughters were offered significantly less by Bucknell than by other schools (difference was as much as 15K!). They even made an error in calculating our assets, and refused to acknowledge and correct the error (the othere schools D applied to did make the correction).</p>
<p>Family loves the school, but fin. aid left a sour taste.</p>
