I was being interviewed by an alum from a peer college to Bucknell. When he heard about me he gave me the feeling that schools like Bucknell and his school reject applicants like me to improve the yeild as they see someone like me using them as safeties. I assured him that although I applied to other competitive schools (only 2 ivies) I was very selecitive where I applied. I really was more upset over Bucknell as I have always liked Bucknell and hold it as my #1/#2 choice even though I may get into other higher ranked schools. I have shown interest in Bucknell I feel in visiting, sent them a personal note, applied for an arts scholarship and wrote personal points on their supplement. Is that enough? I really want to get in and don't want them to see me as using them as a safety.
