<p>Just wondering, with these terrible midyear grades, are my chances of getting into Bucknell now impossible?</p>

<p>2 serious drops might make them question. So you really can either be accepted anyway (because you have strong credentials) or at least be put on waitlist. Is there a legitmate reason for full letter grade drops?</p>

<p>But don't let those grades to be the end of the world and I hope that you applied to some safeties :)</p>

<p>Keep it in perspective, how much does that really change your overall GPA and class rank? Colgate and Bucknell are not going to be rejecting that many 1500 SAT scorers.</p>
