bucknell’s accept. rate for the class of 2010 was 33%. when i applied it was ranked 27 in the overall LAC list but 8th for engineering (among eng. schools whose highest degree is a masters). there are people who turn down better schools to come here (i know 3 people turned down Carnegie-mellon). the living quality here is quite good and the food is definitely good for a college. for the class of 2010, the middle 50% SAT scores were 620-720 (V) and 650-740 M. i know quite a few people in my class who have SAT scores above 1400 (out of 1600), so bucknell’s not a bad school. its getting more selective like all colleges but the accept. rate isnt very low. the top 20 LACs will obviously have lower rates (but grinnell was 50% i think?). if you want to study liberal arts, you could do better i guess, but bucknell is well-known for engineering. and it also offers quite a lot of majors for a LAC. i cant compare it straight off against other LACs right now as i dont have their data, but maybe i can get that later.
