I'm retaking the SATs in June and hoping to bump up my CR into the 700s and my math into the 600s. Pleease give me any feedback you can offer.

Profile seems sound statistically speaking. I would take whatever time you have in making the essays impeccable--since ultimately, this is going to allow you to either stand out or come off as a really boring candidate. I doubt getting those SATs up (maybe except for the math) will grant you a great deal of security in the admissions process. Then again, heck--what do I know? : ) Best of luck.

I had basically the same SAT scores (switch CR and Writing around, then add ten points to Writing and Math), and exactly the same ACT score and various clubs / ECs as well. I was waitlisted, but my GPA was significantly lower than yours...so I'd say you have a good shot :-)

I would say that you have an excellent chance if you apply Early Decision.

I think you have a great shot, especially if you bump up your math score. The profile information you gave is pretty typical of someone going to Bucknell, so again make sure you try to stand out in your application. I'd recommend really stressing leadership. Also, make sure that you show genuine interest in Bucknell specifically. Bucknell, and basically every school, wants a student who knows who they are, what they have to offer, and plans to do great things both while they're in school and after they've graduated.

I think you're solid for the same reasons already said.
