Colleges & Universities A-Z Bucknell University

<p>Hello. I am an international student and I consider applying to Bucknell University. Well I will do so but I am not sure whether it could provide me a FULL NEED BASED FINANCIAL AID FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS? I know the university is need-sensitive for international students, which is great but the all my family could contribute is $ 2,000. Here are my stats, which I believe are pretty high for that university. Am i right?</p>

<p>My stats are the following:</p>

<p>SAT I: 2090 (my first attempt) (CR:630;M:770;WR:690)</p>

<p>SAT II: Math I: 800 Math IIc: 800</p>

<p>TOEFL: 98</p>

<p>Awards: I have about 50 awards from mathematical competitions but they are from local competitions. The most important award is a 2nd place in a international mathematical festival in Kiev.
I have written 2 mathematical projects and one of them is with a special award from Ministry of Education.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.95 (I don’t know exactly - 5.80 out of 6.00 in Bulgaria - we have 12 classes)</p>

<p>Other activities:

  • One of the projects I mentioned above is economic.
  • Part of a debate club.
  • Part of a mathematical club.
  • A participation in a project of EU.</p>

<p>Sport: Football (varsity)</p>

<p>Work:

  • voluntary work in a hospital for 200h</p>

<p>The majority of my friends at Bucknell are international students, and though I obviously don’t have access to their files, they indeed have received very generous amounts of aid from the school. To me you are an extremely stellar student, even compared to some of my international <em>and</em> U.S.-native friends here. I would think that you would receive enough aid from the school, though of course this is just my opinion.</p>

<p>your SAT1 is pretty on the par to low for Bucknell and Toefl should be higher to make you a super competitive fin aid student</p>
