Waitlisted

<p>Just got waitlisted. Really surprised. Anyone else in the same boat?</p>

<p>yeah, me too! my GC said it was like a high target/low reach, and to be honest I thought I had a good shot.
I think it's because I showed zero interest in the school, didn't visit or do an interview, plus they have ED I and ED II and I still did RD...plus I asked for FA but still. I know bucknell has a limited amount of spots but I wish they would have accepted me. being waitlisted sucks</p>

<p>Waitlisted and so upset, got into Nova, Lehigh etc. and really wanted Bucknell. It's going to take a while to get over this one.</p>

<p>Same. I got waitlisted by a bunch of schools (Tufts, Vandy, Bucknell, Wake)...I can see why though, my SATs and GPA don't match up at all, I've been at 3 different schools in the last 3 years, some very strange family circumstances, etc.</p>

<p>Not much you can do for Bucknell, right? I was expecting to get in, but oh well.</p>

<p>if your waitlisted, how much of a chance would i have of being accepted? i feel like being waitlisted isn't so bad..what do you guys think?</p>

<p>For the class of 2010: </p>

<p>"The admissions committee deferred 120 students for later consideration; 38 of these students were subsequently offered admission."</p>

<p>For the class of 2011:</p>

<p>"The admissions committee deferred 135 students for later consideration; 14 of these students were subsequently offered admission."</p>

<p>As you can see, they let less people in the second time (2010 vs. 2011). </p>

<p>Good luck, nonetheless.</p>

<p>satn, those numbers are for early decision deferrals.</p>

<p>ironically, though, bucknell ultimately admitted 14 students from over 1000 accepting a spot on its wait list last year. </p>

<p>however, if yield is not as high as anticipated, that number could easily grow into the 40s.</p>

<p>thanks for the correction.</p>

<p>hey eric, do you mind sharing where you got the waitlist numbers from last year?</p>
