What are my chances at Bucknell?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Bucknell University

I visited Bucknell this past week and really really loved it. Bucknell is probably a little bit of a reach, but I wanted to know my chances to see if it’s worth applying ED 1. I am only a Junior so I have a while to think about it, but I still want to know…

SAT - 1220, 610 Math, 610 English
** I only took it once, though, and now I have a tutor who I am going to work with to get a higher score

GPA - 3.4 unweighted, again since I am only a Junior this can (and will!) come up

Extracurriculars:
3 years XC + captain
3 years track and field + captain, medaled high jumper
3 years yearbook + Junior editor
University of Pittsburgh Health Career Scholars Academy summer 2017
Internship at the University of Pittsburgh Nursing school
AP Chem Junior year, AP Bio senior year (I know that’s not a lot but they are the only APs that my school offers in the science fields)

pretty good… just raise the sat score you should be set.

3

Thank you! This was a moral booster as much of my family has been saying it’s too much of a reach.

4

I think you have a good chance of getting in. Early decision definitely helps your chances A LOT! I did ED1 this year and got in with about the same GPA but I took the ACT!

Thank you! I think that I am going to take the ACT as well to see if that would give me a better score, not sure yet though.
