First Semester Senior Year Grades

Colleges and Universities A-Z Bucknell University

Hi there, I was wondering if you would please chance me for Bucknell with my senior grades. Before senior year, my weighted GPA was a 4.08/4 , about an A- to an A average. I took all honors courses (except for regular math up until senior year). I got straight A’s junior year, including 3 honors (history, english, and spanish), one AP (Environmental Science) and the standard pre-calc class. This year, I have an A- in AP Lit, an A in AP Spanish, an A+ in AP Euro, an A+ in regular physics, and a B+ in AP stats. Do you think I have a chance for an English major at Bucknell? I am planning in adding a business major later on. Please give me some advice, it is very much appreciated! I have worked hard this first semester and hope these grades better my chances.

Thanks so much!

Your GPA looks great, you should be fine (even if you only took 4 APs). What are your test scores and ECs? That’s the best way for someone to chance whether or not you’ll get in.

I took 4 AP’s this year and one last year. My test scores are lower, 1990. I am the yearbook editor, the president of the spanish club, the president of a volunteer club, and have gone on mission trips to Trinidad, New Orleans, New Mexico, and Guatemala. I am also a cashier at Chick-fil-A and am in NHS and SNHS. Planning to major in English so I hope I have a better chance of getting in with that major compared to others.
