Does anyone know when decisions letters come out?
Son waitlisted. Mechanical Engineering.
SAT 1460
ACT 32
AP classes
2nd in his class
Strong essay
Agree with @jjplus3. So done with this process! He has many other strong choices (RPI, Stevens, NJIT, Lafayette). All offered him generous merit scholarships so he will not be taking a place on the waitlist.
I believe that letters were mailed today.
@misspeanut - I was waitlisted too. Leaning towards Lafayette, Villanova or Gettysburg
Accepted with dean’s scholarship. They did send a letter saying that I didn’t get the Presidential Fellowship, which sucks. Cost is almost double my other options so it looks like I won’t be going anyway
@pbfn875 What were your stats if you don’t mind sharing?
@wiserock 1470 sat, 3.8ish uw gpa, 4.3ish w gpa, 10 AP classes, lots of leadership in extracurriculars. Everything is so random though, I got waitlisted from Lafayette but got merit from Bucknell. Makes no sense lol
Wait listed.
SAT 1320
UW GPA 4.0
Waitlisted from LI
SAT 1470
UW GPA 4.0
IB Diploma Candidate with APs and tons of EC’s
Totally confused.
D waitlisted for biomedical engineering
ACT 35
UW GPA 4.0, attended STEM high school with lots of CCP courses
Well-rounded, taken 3 foreign languages in high school, volunteering at local hospital for 4 years
Lettered in bowling 3 years, awarded State Dept scholarship to study Russian abroad last summer
She was disappointed at the WL mainly because there are few schools that offer a strong biomedical program and Russian in a small school setting, which is important to her. We were late to visit due to serious health issues (mine) and hope that wasn’t the determining factor. Like most students who applied to Bucknell, she has other options that will work well for her. Good luck to those in the Bucknell class of 2023!!
DD waitlisted, I think declared women’s studies or public policy (she applied to so many schools, my head spun).
We opted into waitlist, she did not write LOCI yet.
3.7 UW GPA, 4.0 weighted. 1310 SAT and 30 ACT
3 APs, various honors
Lots of ECs, community service and co-captain of varsity swim
Vocalist and theatre performer. California, from high achieving magnet school in lower socio ec area.
Did anyone here from the waitlist yet
Not yet. My guess is (if at all) early next week
Excellent school. Bucknell has done amazing . My son #2 couldn’t be happier attending.
where did your daughter end up?
Lafayette. So far she is very happy there!
that’s one of my top schools!! I am anxiously waiting to hear back. I am glad she is happy there and thank you so much for your response :))))

I know this is late but I was just wondering for anyone who got waitlisted from Bucknell how it worked out. I am the class of '21 and I just got waitlisted today so I was wondering if anyone had some advice.
