<p>Sorry hcasper, my son is a social sciences major. Try emailing someone in that department--check the Bucknell web page. </p>
<p>littlebigs....two of the things that make Bucknell lower on those blasted lists deal with the selectivity score. One is average SAT, which actually rose with last year's class to 1350; and one is acceptance rate which dropped last year to 36%. Quite frankly, if their average SAT goes as high as those top schools and their acceptance rate drops accordingly, then a lot of wonderful kids will just end up with another out of reach school. I'm glad it is what it is. I hope it never becomes an Ivy-ish pretender or top tenner.</p>
