Bucknell University Class of 2021 Applicant Discussion

I got waitlisted, and I had actually had some hope. But after reading everyone’s stats, I guess I didn’t have much of a chance. 34 ACT; 3.3 UW GPA, two Varsity sports all 4 years, lots of ECs and volunteer work, play in school orchestra - my gpa went up to 3.7 W first semester senior year with a hard load.

Accepted into Electrical Engineering!

Just got my FA in mail. Presidential Fellow!

Where are you from?

@environed Congrats that’s awesome!!! Still waiting for my package to find out!

Package just came in and I’m a Presidential Fellow as well!

@ljk3vb i applied FA and was accepted with 59k aid!! there’s always hope!! :slight_smile:

Hi everyone! I was accepted to Bucknell University with presidental fellows program, but decided to attend another school. My best friend was waitlisted from bucknell, and I am thinking about writing a letter of reccomendation for her along with the letter for declining the offer. Do you think it can help or hurt her? (Assuming the reccomendation is good)
