Chances at Bucknell University?

<p>I am a senior and have just applied to Bucknell University regular decision. This is the one school I am really nervous about getting into, and regret not applying ED. I am wondering if anyone can tell me what my chances are?</p>

<p>I go to a competitive Catholic school in New Jersey with a good reputation.</p>

<p>GPA: 4.16 (weighted & unweighted)I am 8th out of 240 in my class, however this semester I got all A's or A +'s, and am taking all honors and two AP classes I hope may boost my ranking.</p>

<p>Took all general classes freshman year, honors history sophomore year, honors english, history and french junior year, and all honors this </p>

<p>year along with AP World History and AP English.</p>

<p>ACT composite: 27 (I know this is considered very low for Bucknell which is why I am worried.)
However my SATS which I didn't submit were: 660 Critical Reading, 690 Writing, 530 Math :[</p>

<p>I have gotten several awards for various subjects: which means you have highest average in that particular class.
Freshman: General Academic Excellence, U.S. History, and French1
Sophomore: General Academic Excellence, Scripture, and French2
Junior: General Academic Excellence, Honors English, Honors French, and Algebra 2
Senior: (this doesn't really apply anymore, and unsure)</p>

<p>I am Vice President of NHS.
President of Italian Club.
Have done Spring Track and Cross Country for 3 years.
Have over 100 hours for volunteering.
Am also a member of:
Literary Magazine
LIFE Club
FBLA
Drama Club (after school theatre, perform in cabaret at end of year)
Maryknoll Missionary
(and I may be forgetting 1 or 2)</p>

<p>I think I have good recs though everyone says this, and I believe my essays are good and unique (I mentioned how Bucknell was my top choice).</p>

<p>Also if there's anything anyone could suggest that would give me an upper hand for this school it would be greatly appreciated.
I have e-mailed them with a few questions (not annoying ones, or things that already appear on the website) to show interest.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone.</p>

<p>You need to visit. Living in NJ, they will want to see more than a few emails to “demonstrate interest.” I would also consider sending in your SATs. The math is quite low, but the others are good. Good luck!</p>

<p>I have visited once but would you suggest visiting again? And ok thank you!</p>
