I got a letter too, and I was totally suprised because my GPA is only like 3.63 and my SATs are 1330. I think I will probably end up going to Bucknell, unless I get into either Colby, Colgate, or Hamilton, which I don’t think will happen. Even if I do get into any of those schools, I think I still probably will go to Bucknell. Colby, Colgate and Hamilton all seem really cold, and Colby and Hamilton seem a little too small for me.

There are a few things about Bucknell that I am sort of unsure about. First of all the prevalence of Greek life. I am not really opposed to Greek life, I guess I am just not sure how I feel about the whole thing, and how it dominates the social scene. Also one of my friends has a really good friend who is a freshman at Bucknell right now, and she really hates it because she thinks the people are mean. I don’t know this girl very well, but I have her a couple of times. She always seemed very nice and friendly to me, so it kind of freaks me out that she doesn’t like the people because I don’t want to be in the middle of nowhere with no friends. But I don’t know, I guess there are always people who don’t like certain schools, and I have heard many other people love Bucknell. I guess I am just freaked out about this whole college choice and probably pay way too much attention to every little thing I hear.
