to kelly57,

I am a Bucknell grad whose S will be going to Bucknell this fall. His heart was set originally on W&M and we were disappointed when he was rejected. We hale from N. Va. and his experience was typical of the experience of so many top students here in Fairfax County.

We were pleased with the financial aid offer from Bucknell which in our case brings our cost down to virtually what it would cost to keep our son in an IS public university.

You probably know that Bucknell, like many, gives weight to the expected family contribution and improved their financial aid offer to us upon a showing that there was a gap between our abilities to pay combined with finaid set off against the costs. If you haven’t approached Bucknell finaid with your situation, you probably should.
