<p>You’ve probably seen that but I posted it just in case. I think you have a good shot ED with your GPA. Did you take close to the hardest classes offered? That’s not super important just wondering. Can you chance me?</p>
<p>Your ACT score is a bit on the low side for Bucknell. Your GPA, however, is a match, though not so much so that they’d be dying to accept you. Your EC’s are, again, nothing exceptional, although your course load is very prestigious. Have you applied for financial aid? If so, I’d say your chances are pretty low. If not, I still wouldn’t get my hopes up. Bucknell accepts less than 1/3 of applicants if I’m not mistaken, making it a very selective school. For that reason, I would say that Bucknell is a reach for most people.</p>
<p>I’m not saying that you have no chance of getting in, because that would be wrong. Applying ED will certainly help your case. I’d try to schedule an interview, get some amazing letters of rec, and keep in touch with the admissions counselors. Let them know that you’re interested, and they’ll be interested in you. Nothing you do can be too much.</p>
<p>tl;dr: On a low, medium, good, high scale, I’d say that you have a medium chance of acceptance. Good luck!</p>
<p>I think you are a low reach/high match. The middle 50 for ACT at Bucknell is 27-31, so you are on the low end of that scale, however with that being said I think your GPA and rigorous course load will give you a good chance to be admitted to Bucknell.</p>
