<p>Will applying early decision II help your chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Yes. Bucknell definitely likes their ED applicants.</p>
<p>Yes definitely. ED is binding and the fact that you want too helps a lot. Obviously depending on the reason for ED2 rather than ED</p>
<p>My S was admitted EDI and we attended an info session right after his admit and the adcom said that there is no preference of EDI over EDII. He said that some kids don’t get the anwer they want from EDI and some kids just aren’t ready until EDII.</p>
<p>I think Bucknell’s ED admit rate is over 50%. If you are serious, be sure to get thoughtful answers to their prompts and do the optional essay.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
