<p>My GPA is 3.2 unweighted and 3.3 weighted. I’ve taken one honors class and one AP class, and I am taking two AP classes next year. Superscored (two tests), my SAT is 1370/2030. My best SAT in one sitting was 1330/1990. My class rank is going to be somewhere from 25%-35% when I graduate. I play drums in a band that plays at places in my town (we recently played at our town’s fireworks), I started the political science club at my school, and I volunteered to help coach my sister’s softball team and logged 24 hours. I’ve played intramural basketball all three years and intramural volleyball my junior year. I’ve also done a few other things (playing with my band at Relay for Life, etc.). My family’s estimated EFC is 37,000. Please help me out. </p>

<p>Also, would I receive any financial aid?</p>

<p>Thanks very much in advance.</p>

<p>You probably won’t recieve much financial aid, and I’d say you got about a 30% chance based on your GPA (you SAT is in line with the school). </p>

<p>Do you go to a rigirous school? What is your class rank? Could you play music for Bucknell’s Band?</p>

<p>I go to a suburban public school that’s probably one of the top 10 in the state. My class decile rank is 3rd decile. I guess I could play music; I’ve taken drum lessons, and I’m in a band; but I’ve never played drums in a school band before.</p>

<p>It might be a bit of a reach with your GPA but your SATs are good. If you really like Bucknell, make sure you show interest. Showing enthusiasm and writing a great essay can get you quite far.</p>
