Surprised by rejection at Bucknell

@mprothero, With both parents being alumni, I think you have a great reason to call and politely inquire about your son’s denial. Even though Bucknell is a super selective school, your son’s stats and EC’s make him a very qualified candidate, and being a double legacy would only add to his application. If nothing else, having some sense of the reason may make you feel better about your alma mater. I am not familiar with Bucknell’s financial aid policies, but perhaps they are not need blind, and perhaps you have need? IDK!
