<p>I hate doing chances as I am not an admissions counselor. But you seem to have the credentials. Good luck.</p>
<p>your test scores are on the low side. Especially if you do not have any hooks (athlete, legacy, URM, etc), you really want to be well above median. Fall of 2010 enrolled student distribution of middle 50% was something like 1220-1380 (mathematically, the median should be something like 1300). Last year’s acceptance rate was lowest ever so I assume the median went up a bit. </p>
<p>Perhaps they will overlook that given your other outstanding attributes. Don’t know how they will take it. If you are applying RD, you still have time to retake SAT. SAT is the easiest thing to fix: you can’t significantly change GPA with the remainder of the time before application is due, nor can you create EC that you did not do. SAT scores, on the other hand, can improve, in some cases, dramatically, with some intense preparation.</p>
<p>This is not just Bucknell application. This issue applies to all the schools you would like to apply to as a reach/semi reach school targets. I cannot say this for sure about Bucknell, but having gone through this whole thing twice with my kids, and having done a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that elite schools pay A LOT more attention to the test scores than they publicly admit (it’s not politically correct to say "our school takes SAT darn seriously - the test some people people claim reflects class and racial bias). There were some statistical studies people have done that more or less proved that the SAT score distributions of the incoming classes of top schools could not have possibly been the way they are unless SAT scores were used as key, INDEPENDENT and separate admission criterion. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
