Information about the Waitlist

<p>Hi, I was waitlisted at Bucknell. I’m not going to ask about my stats - I already spoke to my admissions counselor and he said that there were just too many great applicants for too few spaces and it came down to who is needed for what department. I’m just wondering, if I changed my major from International Relations to English, would that give me a better chance of getting in? He said they would admit based on who was needed to fill what spots. Also I am wondering what disadvantages kids are at if they come off the waitlist? Do they get last housing, last course selection, etc? Thanks for any and all help.</p>
