Just wondering, with these terrible midyear grades, are my chances of getting into Bucknell now impossible?

2 serious drops might make them question. So you really can either be accepted anyway (because you have strong credentials) or at least be put on waitlist. Is there a legitmate reason for full letter grade drops?

But don't let those grades to be the end of the world and I hope that you applied to some safeties

Keep it in perspective, how much does that really change your overall GPA and class rank? Colgate and Bucknell are not going to be rejecting that many 1500 SAT scorers.
