<p>fantosme, I was wondering if you got into Bucknell would you pick it over GWU ? Thanks</p>

<p>This is for my friend:</p>

<p>Decision:accepted
Date: 4/1
Ethnicity/Race: white
Sex: female
GPA:4.1
SAT/ACT Score:1300/27
SAT IIs:N/A
Extra Curricular Activities:church youth group, guitar lessons
Other Important Factors:nada</p>

<p>Decision: Wait listed</p>

<p>SAT 2000 (720 Verbal, 640 Math, 640 Writing)
GPA: 3.4 unweighted, 3.6 weighted (toughest courseload avaliable)
SAT II's 660-writing 640-Biology
Rank: 27%</p>

<p>Subjective:
Essays: I'm a good writer, but I was rushed, so probably not as good as they could have been
Teacher Recs: Didn't see, but teachers like me
Counselor: Ditto
Hook: Montana hick girl (haha)</p>

<p>Montana
Average Public school
Female</p>

<p>EC's: Competitive in taekwondo, 2nd degree black belt, gold medal at junior nationals in black-belt sparring, extensive competition record
-1st violin, All state orch, manage celtic band
-Editor of 30,000 reader+ high school newspaper
-Many summer activites for all of the above</p>

<p>Why I got waitlisted: Bad grades junior year, probably. However, due to my recent onslought of thin envelopes, I'm thinking I just suck at life. Or I'm not tall enough or something.</p>

<p>I was waitlisted as well with 2030 SAT's and a weighted 4.2 gpa. They sent me the little postcard with the options of what I would do if i was accepted, like "definitely will enroll", "will consider enrolling" and "will not enroll". </p>

<p>I figure if I check the box that says "definitely will enroll" I have a much better chance of getting in. Does anybody know how long it takes to hear back from them about their decision?</p>

<p>Desi_style:</p>

<p>In the end I think I would have chosen to attend GW. DC is my 2nd favorite city, there is a ton to do around campus, there are fantastic internship opportunities, and GW has some of the best dorm rooms in the country.</p>

<p>I have not had a chance to visit Bucknell but everyone that I have talked to has said that it has a fantastic campus. However, I would much rather be in an urban environment like DC rather than the middle of Pennsylvania. </p>

<p>I plan on going right into business school after college so internships are important, and DC is a much better place to get an internship than rural Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>alanstats, I got the Jewish thing too! A page and a half about how great a place Bucknell is for Jewish people, lol...I found it pretty funny.</p>

<p>wierd eh? but jess, did you get an official admission packet yet? All I got was the Jewish thing lol</p>

<p>accepted, 2090
3.8W

<p>alan -- I believe I got the admission packet on the same day as the Jewish letter, lol.</p>

<p>hmm so far its been 3 days in possession of the Jewish letter and no packet. Oh well, got lost in the mail perhaps.</p>
