Colleges and Universities A-Z Bucknell University

<p>I’m a rising senior junior.
GPA: 3.20 weighted (my sophomore GPA is so bad because of moving to a different school, different state. But I keep my junior year GPA up-trend)</p>

<p>SAT I: M 800, R 750, W 750, Essay 11. </p>

<p>SAT II: Bio 770, Math II 800, Physics 780</p>

<p>ACT: 34 (essay 7)</p>

<p>AP: European History 4, Calculus BC 5, APUSH 4 and Latin 3.</p>

<p>Senior schedule: English, History, Religion, Multivariable Calculus, AP Physics II and AP Economics.</p>

<p>EC’s:
Regional & All-state orchestra violin since 6th grade
Youth Symphony (very competitive one) since 4th grade
JV Baseball since 9th grade but did not make it this year due to injury
Science Center tour guide for more than 100 hours
Formed a chamber music group for charity
Robotic Club - the one I spent a lot of time on it. Love it!
Other clubs like BBQ, Latin, Japanese, Wall Street…</p>

<p>Recommendation: from my Physics teacher (also the director of Robotic team) and English teacher. </p>

<p>I took honor pre-cal during sophomore and got a C+ but my teacher still recommended me for AP Cal BC at junior year. End up got A- and 5 for AP.</p>

<p>I’m thinking about Engineering (Electrical). Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>Let me tell you, looking at the admissions site can be slightly intimidating. As someone who was in your shoes not too long ago, I often wondered if my less-than-stellar GPA (I, too, switched schools) would hinder me from coming to Bucknell. </p>

<p>Today, I’m a student. </p>

<p>I think you have a strong chance of getting in. Absolutely make sure that you visit, or else your chances will go down significantly. Your SAT scores are phenomenal, and I don’t see them denying you given that fact. You have a good list of extra-curricular activities that show a diversity of interests. </p>

<p>Like I said before, make sure to visit, talk to an admissions counselor, and you have a great chance of getting in here! </p>

<p>If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I’m a very well-informed source for most things Bucknell. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Can someone tell me , or point me to the place that shows, the ACT and GPA of the last class entering into the Bucknell college of engineering? Is the latter correct - Does Bucknell have a specific separate college of engineering that one needs to apply to?</p>
