Congratulations one02many! I’ve been hoping to see an acceptance post from you! I’m sure with your grades you’ll be admitted to the department of your choice as soon as they have room for you. They obviously wanted you. My daughter was also waitlisted with excellent stats and an SAT score just like yours. We were amazed and she was beyond devastated. Especially since Bucknell was her first choice. It’s strange that so many high caliber students were waitlisted. She did not want to apply to the ivies. She just wanted Bucknell. On another thread I read a girl’s stats – which were amazing – and she was waitlisted at many schools also. She asked “What more do they want us to do?” At that point, I was shaking my head. There were so many stories just like that. I’m beginning to think there is such a thing as the “Tufts Syndrome”. Luckily, like you, my daughter finally made it off the waitlist. We’ve been celebrating ever since! I’m looking forward to being a supportive Bucknellian mom. It really seems like a great school.
Soooo -congratulations one02many and good luck!!! I’m glad you got in!
