What do you think about this?

Hi Everyone,

For the past week, I've gotten an e-mail to participate in the Bucknell Chat and I did, but the interesting thing was there was a button on the side bar of the window where we were chatting.

and it said "home", so i clicked it and it linked to the "congratulations, you have been accepted to Bucknell University" page.

What do you think this means? Am I in if i got invited to the chat?

Thanks

interesting... I was in that same chat...I was in a hurry though only could chat for a few minutes so I guess I missed that button. That sounds encouraging tho

I didn't get invited to this chat :-( .... Was the chat based on a choice of major, or just on the school overall?

i got invited but since i am an international, the chat was at the time i had to leave for school!!! so i couldnt attend it

but u know what, it said "BUCKNELL APPLICANT CHAT" so i dont think it means anything... that button was probably an error .. and tapadey, check ur junk mail.

why would they have a chat w/ applicants they were NOT going to accept, especially this close to decision-time?

I'd guess you were invited b/c they want to make sure they keep your interest b/c they intend to send you an acceptance shortly.

No, its not in my junk mail or anything. I am certain I did not get one...I will be so upset if I don't get in :'(

waleedk87 · 03-16-2006, 03:41 PM

listen, dont get sad right now, lets wait for other people's input on this

waleedk87 · 03-16-2006, 03:43 PM

and plus, its more like a likely even if it is meant for those who are going to get admitted (which i still highly doubt)....so u still have a chance...the same thing is happening to me for williams, Cornell, Northwestern and its really frustrating..lets just wait and watch

... Wow I wish I went to the chat now, I received 2 or 3 e-mails about the chat with Bucknell but just figured it was pointless =\

I didn't get invited. It's obvs. for the top of the acceptance pool and for specific ppl that Bucknell wants to attract for whatever reason. Those are the ppl that the University needs to maintain contact with to try to pursuade them into maltricating. The total acceptance pool is a couple hundred kids, how would a chat function if everyone showed up? This is the same reason they send out those personalized letters.

I just checked and mine was INTERNATIONAL STUDENT CHAT...did any intels get this?

Tapeduey · 03-18-2006, 02:15 PM

I emailed them, asking why I didn't recieve an invitation, and they basically said the chats were based on certain students' interests. This would explain why waleed got a international student chat, as well as why some people got more than 1 invitation.

I didn't recieve an invitation, but based on the e-mail response, I figured that the reason i didn't was just because I didn't fit into any of the groups which the chats were based around.

Hope this helps calm the worries of those who didn't get one.

exactly! you guys really need to chill out! plus maybe we signed up somewhere on bucknell or something. and mine actually says "Please inform students from your school about this chat as well".
