Decisions sent 3/28/08

<p>i called today about something else and i was told this.</p>

<p>thanks for posting! so that’s another one coming 31 or the 1st. I wish they were spread out a bit more</p>

<p>Confirmed. I was told 3/28/08 too! :)</p>

<p>just wondering is it the same for international students? or are they notified my e-mail?</p>

<p>I think they’ll come in the mail today</p>

<p>Just got mine today in Maryland! 3/31/08</p>

<p>did you get in? I’m guessing you did so congrats!
wish it was by email, though</p>

<p>Yes, I got in! Where do you live? I am sure it will be coming tommorow or the day after</p>

<p>darn I actually got waitlisted…I’m so upset…this wasn’t even a huge reach school for me. It was like high target/low reach. oh well</p>

<p>ok, i’m scared now… i live in PA like 2 hours from Bucknell and haven’t heard yet :-/ does this mean i probably got rejected? i know alot of schools send out rejections later</p>

<p>Same here. 2 hours. But I’d not panic yet. Give it 2 more days …</p>

<p>IDK thats crazy u live 2 hrs away… I live in South Florida nd I got wiatlisted today.</p>

<p>Yea, well BU uses pony express in PA. And my nag threw a shoe, it seems. btw, raidernation, what’s plan B? I’m not sure, but it could be your screen name that got you waitlisted in Stiller country. there is no real raider nation beyond Al Davis egoed mind. :wink: good luck</p>

<p>molly, it seems it was. watching this stuff, I’m convinced that Princeton Review and College Board don’t have much of a clue beyond gross generalizations when they talk about hi reaches, low reaches, etc. ususally the safes are safe bets but after that …</p>

<p>I doubt it was because I am a Raider fan, although I am looking foward to next season with JaMarcus Russell at the helm. I’m really not too surprised of the waitlist however, it seems Bucknell takes a lagre crop of its students from the Mid-Atlantic and I am left here fending for myself. Before I got my acceptance letter, I realized how foolish applying to Bucknell became in an economical sense. Yes, my family makes more than enough to send me to Bucknell w/o merit aid but in order to get to Lewisburg, PA from Miami, FL it is a heck of a voyage. I would have to fly to either Philadelphia or Harrisburg. If I fly into Philadelphia, I would have to take a small-charter plane to Williamsport, PA then drive 45 min. If I fly directly into Harrisburg, PA, I am looking at a 1 hr, 25 min drive thereafter. Either or, it will be a 6-7 trip whenever I go home. That’s insane. Essentially, you mite as well put me in Northwest Washington because the travel time will be the same. Secondly, I realized I made a major mistake when I applied to the Management Program. While I had decent stats mid 1300’s/1600, I was a boy amongst men. I believe my essays/reccomendations/talent/ability were all there, its just I had a relatively low GPA (around a 3.65 UW, 3.89 W) and I did awful on my SAT 2’s. Bucknell would probably be an awesome college to attend, I just don’t think coming from South Florida, it would be the best option for me. As of my future endeavors, I am considering: UF, UMich, GW, Tulane, and UMaryland.</p>

<p>Anybody notified by e-mail? I haven’t received a response yet…</p>

<p>i didn’t receive a response either…</p>

<p>You’re on the $$ about the complexities of getting to a school in the middle of PA. Simply no easy ways to get there unless one lives in Williamsport or State College. Beyond that, it’s a trek.</p>

<p>Sounds like you’ve got it together and know that all good luck goes with you from a PA groundhog. :cool: You more than a great many have the crystal clear realization that there are many fine places, Bucknell being but one, and that you’re gonna have a ball and learn wherever you land.</p>

<p>in response to whistle pigs comments on getting to lewisburg, bucknell DOES have a pretty good shuttle system set up for students flying in and out of harrisburg. </p>

<p>so if youre a student worried about how youre going to get to and from school around campus breaks, if flying in and out of harrisburg is an affordable option, youll be okay. if its not, there is a pretty good ride board system in place, meaning that around breaks, youll probably be able to find quite a few rides to and from new york, philadelphia, baltimore, dc and pittsburgh.</p>
