<p>Just wondering who applied ED 1 to Bucknell… I heard the numbers were up for ED in quite a few colleges.</p>
<p>I did
And i know about 8 others who did too</p>
<p>I did. The numbers are way down from last year actually.</p>
<p>I called admissions at bucknell and the girl there said that they received 50 more ED applications than last year...anyone know what that means?</p>
<p>So maybe that girl that you spoke to was confused! She might have been talking about RD apps.</p>
<p>Yeah, she was just a girl answering the phones...(she had to ask others whenever I asked a question).<br>
She did tell me that the ED decisions would be mailed out on Dec 10th (My real reason for calling)</p>
<p>Regarding the fewer applications, I can only speculate that the economy somehow is playing a role in that...</p>
<p>Definitely playing a role. It's going to be tough for kids to get student loans this year.</p>
<p>qwazr, the girl in the admissions office you talked to was right; applications are up, not down. Sorry for the confusion!</p>
<p>OK...so what impact do you think that will have on the EDers?</p>
<p>who knows? maybe a lower acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard about their ED yet?</p>
<p>I think the letters were mailed today.</p>
<p>Do you think they overnight them, so everyone gets them the same day?</p>
<p>My daughter's letter came via regular mail last year and I believe she rec'd it on the 12th.</p>
<p>i got my ED acceptance last year on dec 14th (actually maybe the 13th, whichever was a thursday), two days after they mailed them. i'm from CT but i don't know anyone who got it earlier, the bucknell 2012 facebook group was made the day i got my letter</p>
<p>Scutler,
Last year Thursday was December 13th. If that is when you received your acceptance do you know if the ED decisions were mailed on the 10th or 11th last year?</p>
<p>I applied ED 1 to Bucknell. I haven't recieved my letter yet, has anyone? Also does anyone know how the online thing works?</p>
<p>AHH im so excited</p>
<p>they must have been sent the 11th last year then. mail is always 2 days from lewisburg to my house.
a girl i know who works in the admissions office said they were sent yesterday, so you might get the letter tomorrow?
i remember freaking out at this time last year... now that i'm here i can't decide if waiting for the mailman or taking a 3 hour physics exam is worse =P</p>
<p>I got an acceptance packet/folder/letter/thing in the mail today :)</p>
<p>I live close though. I'm sure you all will get them tomorrow or Saturday!</p>
<p>So we should be hoping for a large envelope?? Lewisburg is a 2 day mail for us too, so the letter should be in todays mail. Today is son's 18th bday - could be a wonderful bday present...or not.</p>
