Congrats to all those accepted; Bucknell is truly a special place! If anyone has questions pertaining to life in Lewisburg feel free to reach out and message me! (Class of 2019!)

To those who were waitlisted or not offered admission, I know you’ll end up where you’ll supposed to be. (It sounds cliché, but it’s true!) After being rejected from a number of schools myself, I know I ended up where I belong!

Should I be concerned that my portal hasn’t been updated? It’s 9:54 here.

Its kind of hard to find. Click on 2017 regular decision and then open application and it will say you have an update to your portal

Hey when will I hear about the Presidential Scholar’s Program? If they didn’t mention it, does that mean I didn’t get it?

Will come in the mail (For the presidential scholar’s)

Anyone know the group me for the bucknell?
