<p>Hey everyone, I’m a rising senior in high school and Bucknell is a low reach for me. However my guidance counselor advised me to ensure a higher chance of admission to apply under a major that is not popular to lower my competition. Does anyone know the least popular majors at Bucknell?</p>
<p>It is easier to be accepted into the College of Arts and Sciences (about 35% acceptance) than into the School of Management ( 21%) or the College of Engineering ( 25%). When you fill out the Bucknell Supplemental Application Form (you can read through this form online), you will need to designate which of these 3 schools you are applying to as an incoming freshman. If you know you want the School of Management or the College of Engineering then you should specify that as your first choice because it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to come into Bucknell as an A&S student and then try to transfer into the SOM or COE after freshman/sophomore year. If you are applying to the College of A&S as an incoming freshman, I am not aware that any specific major is “easier” to get into than others.</p>
<p>If you REALLY want to improve your chances of acceptance to Bucknell then go for your first choice of majors but APPLY EARLY DECISION. Good luck!</p>
